When your cat pees outside the litter box, don't assume bad behavior or spite. They may be saying something important. Finding cat urine on your bed, rug, or laundry is frustrating, but is your cat actually mad at you? In the first episode of Outside the Box, presented in partnership with Royal Canin, veterinary internal medicine specialist Dr. Amy Oberstadt joins us to explain why urinary disease, pain, stress, and environmental factors can all contribute to litter box problems. Learn what normal urination looks like, which subtle changes deserve attention, why very different urinary diseases can look nearly identical at home, and when your cat needs emergency veterinary care.
