Hi all! A lot of the times in the litter box there is always something stuck to the bottom of the litter box.... I don't think its stool, is it possible that its pee? This has been going on for a while, my cat seems fine other wise, hes playful, he eats, and runs around...

If you use clumping litter, yep, that's pee! If you make the litter deeper, it shouldn't stick to the bottom. . .unless he's a big digger.

It isn't at all uncommon to have that happen with clumping litter, and if your clay litter has a lot of dust, that can do the same thing...in fact, it can almost be like concrete!

I agree; it's most likely pee. Try to keep the litter 3-4" deep so it's less likely to reach the bottom. Having a deep litter box helps if you have a digger or a side-pee-er too.
