Litter & Scratching
A cleaner cat home starts with the box, the scratcher, and the places your cat already uses.
Most litter and scratching problems make more sense when you look at access, placement, surface, stress, nails, and whether another pet can block the route.
Choose box count, size, placement, texture, and cleaning rhythm.
Fix misses, edge peeing, box avoidance, access, cleaning, and stress without guessing.
Give claws better targets than the couch and place them where scratching already happens.
Redirect scratching with better surfaces, placement, and rewards.
Teach paw handling in tiny wins so trims stay calmer.
Read hiding, blocking, rough play, and litter stress before the problem spreads.
Troubleshoot misses, avoidance, stress, and cleaning before blaming the cat.
Compare open, high-sided, low-entry, and covered-style tradeoffs by cat comfort.
