Why your cat has stopped using her litter box

Your cat has used her litter box without issue in the past and you feel that you have set up a nice place for her to utilize. Why has she suddenly stopped using her litter box?

Your cat has likely stopped using her litter box because something has changed in or around it that isn’t to her liking. There may be something placed nearby that she is unsure of, like loud appliance, or her litter box may not be as clean as she’d like it to be. If you have moved her litter box, consider the new space and determine what might be acting as a deterrent. Your little fur ball’s needs may have changed as well, so consider anything that is different about her life or capabilities that could be the cause of this change.
