It's good to get a high-walled litter box but one with a low entrance they can step over. (Depending on her genetics and breeding history, she could have some congenital knee issues.) Some young (or older) cats with possible luxating patellas or even hip issues (whether congenital, through injury or just old age or extreme weight) can have some discomfort or pain when trying to squat in the box to pee. Since she is a Bengal mix, I'd encourage you to have the vet check out her hind legs and knees/hips to make sure she doesn't have any congenital issues with them. I'd add one other thing too, for the vet to check out, if you do bring your kitty to a vet for this. peeing or pooping issues can develop because the cat doesn't feel safe going there. If you use an opaque high-walled bin, the cat cannot see much going on just outside of the box. Many people think a cat might feel most vulnerable when using the litter box, so it is important for that cat to be able see and scan the environment around them to feel "safe" while doing, uhm, Number 1 or Number 2. 's photo of the clear plastic bin with its specialty entrance cut-out looks great! I personally encourage people who want to get creative and come up with their own larger, high-walled 'design' of a cat litter box to use clear plastic. a large and long cat, can feel confined and cramped in enclosed litter boxes. their head wants to rise up a little as they try to sit but it bonks against the top of the enclosed litter box. Think of a large cat inside of a lidded box, trying to sit down to pee. Sometimes covered litter boxes can actually start litter box or peeing issues. That a covered litter box may not be ideal. I agree with others, to check her out with a vet.īut I would say that if you have a ragdoll x bengal mix, it's likely that your kitten is becoming longer and larger as she grows.Īnd so, I especially agree with rubysmama
