Hi all,
This has been bothering me for a while. One of my cat had recently started peeing right next to the litter box instead of in it. She still go #2 in the box with no issue. I took her to the vet and everything came back good. She's getting along with my other cat, she still eat and drink, play around, and doesn't seem any different.
The day she stopped going outside of the box is when I changed 1 of the box to clay litter. I've always used World's Best ever since they were babies and never had issues before. I like World's Best because clay litter dust gives me allergies.
I tried to retrace what happened. The box is clean. I have 3 litter boxes. The only thing I could think of is when I ordered the litter from online, one of them came with a small hole. I didn't think much of it so I left that 1 in storage for a while. I think ever since I started using that 1, her problems came out.
So my question is, can corn based litter go bad? Such as it being exposed to air for a long time could make it smell bad, turn stale, or something.
My cats do like the clay litter more though. I started with only 1 litter box with clay and they both stopped using the other 2 corn litter boxes. They're all washed with new litter too. Even when the clay box is "full" they still only use that 1. For now I've changed them all to clay buy scooping them sets my allergies going crazy.
