So, that's what makes all of his complaints even crazier! I've heard multiple stories about cats that wouldn't even use a box after it's been used once, or at least very high standards for cleanliness!
For mine, I have multiple different boxes for them, but they each have their own preferences. I have tried waiting until the box that my oldest prefers is so gross that he's no longer using it, a d has moved to a different box, but even then, he gets crazy mad at me for touching it. I've tried sprinkling some used litter in the new box for him, so that it still smells like him, and he still gets very angry!
I guess he feels like he's achieving something. Everyone's got to have a hobby.
Reminds me of the "caravan" episode of Top Gear, where the guys did the British equivalent of trailer camping, and when they arrived at the camp site they asked some other folks there at the campsite what they do when they're there and the woman replied "fill up the loo."
I wish I had that cat. Mine is of the variety that one day (I think she got a UTI and that created an association between the box and pain) decided that she will not pee in a box where she can see poo and will instead elect to pee next to the box. Sometimes even if it's clean she won't use it.
I finally had to invest in reusable pee pads for her after going through a pack of 50 disposables with no consistent correction in behavior. I also got a sifting wood pellet box for easier maintenance and a silica crystal box in another room for good measure. And line the inappropriate areas she wants to pee on with tin foil so she gets the message that it's not a good place to do that. And a big ol gallon of anti icky poo for whatever falls through the cracks.
She's getting better since I tightened up the tin foil boundary though!
