This one is kind of weird. My kitten sometimes will hold it in and not use the litterbox until I go to the bathroom myself. I had settled in last night when after a while, I started hearing uncomfortable mewps from the cat's hammock next to my bed. I put two and two together and got up and went into the bathroom. My kitten (5-ish months old) practically teleported into the litter box next to the toilet and peed a river. Seriously, I'm amazed his bladder held that much. I had gone to bed a little earlier than usual, so I didn't feel the need for a pre-bedtime potty break. A couple weeks back, I sat down on the toilet after figuring out what his meows from the bathroom meant, and he hastily peed... then dug a hole, pooped, and buried it... and then dug a *second* hole and pooped again. I've never heard of two BMs in one litterbox visit. He's never gone outside the litterbox or had an accident, but I'm worried that this might eventually cause a bowel obstruction or something. I know it's bad news when human kids do it for long enough.
He's the only cat and I live alone, so could be be *that* over-bonded or *that* fixated on a routine? This doesn't happen often, but this was the third or fourth time. Aside from a bout of diarrhea earlier, he pees and poops with gusto, so it doesn't seem to be a health issue, just a weird psych thing. I thought I'd see if anyone else has experienced this.
