Q. I'm wondering why my cat might take up residence in the litterbox for short periods of time.
A. If your kitty is spending extra time in the litterbox this could be a sign of either urinary tract problems (infections, stones, inflammatory disorders, kidney disease) or lower gastrointestinal problems (colitis, megacolon). Please see you veterinarian as soon as possible to have a thorough physical examination, blood work and a urinalysis performed. Often this is the only way kitties can tell us that something is wrong with them...please listen!
