Ever since we adopted our cat, she always has peed on the edge of the litterbox. This was ongoing for 6 years. On a whim, I bought finer litter and she stopped this behaviour immediately. Just thought I’d share.

Cats can have litter box issues for so many reasons it's crazy.

Like, my vet was telling me about one where the cat would piss on the floor if the family left the laundry they were folding on the couch.

Sometimes they do it just because they're pissed at you.

Our newest kitten will shit on the bed if I take too long to go into the bedroom to play with her at night. Still trying to figure out how to correct that behavior apart from giving into her demands. (Vet says she's perfectly healthy, told me the laundry story)

The best thing I can recommend is only changing one thing at a time. Litter is a very easy thing to change, and there are a bunch of different materials out there now.
