Does anyone else have.....?

a cat that sometimes drives them insane? After my cat uses the litterbox she will scratch & scratch for about 5 minutes, up the walls of the box, on the litter catcher mat outside the box, on the wall next to the box and yet somehow never manage to get a grain of litter onto her "business" to cover it up! ^--^

Update:

Soccer Chick, I scoop the box twice a day & completely replace the litter once a week. It's not because the box is not clean, I think she's just a silly scratchy girl. =D

    My male cat Puck does the same thing. Some cats are just funny that way. I suppose since they don't have the natural foliage to cover their "stuff" they wig out a little. ;)

    Yes one of my cats will endlessly scratch at an empty part of the tray where theres not even any litter & when she does finally scrape any litter it ends up all around the tray with her waste still exposed! Silly little kitty but I love her to bits lol.

    Source(s): Have 2 cats.

    Mine does this too; he just scratches at the side edge of the box for a while.

    I have another cat who's pretty good about burying... she's so good she tries to bury the food when she's done.

    One of my cats does the same thing. Its the most irritating sound. I think he does it because he doesn't like one of my other two cats. He's trying to hide it or something.

    my cat srcatches her head and then sneezes then she starts coming to me then nudging her head against my hand for a belly rub...it gets annoying after a while since she constantly wants a rub.

    Maybe she wants you to clean her litterbox
