It is not veterinary advice and cannot diagnose your cat; a vet check comes first. A cat, especially a male cat, that strains in the box with little or no urine needs a vet immediately, because a blocked bladder is an emergency. Simple box problems can improve quickly, but long-standing marking or multi-cat conflict may need a professional, and no particular result is guaranteed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Ebooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68208762880391,"sku":null,"price":44.99,"currency_code":"RON","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1118\/2361\/8439\/files\/Back_in_the_Box_-_Cat_Litter_Box_Problems.png?v=1794610932","url":"https:\/\/ebooksforthought.com\/products\/back-in-the-box-cat-litter-box-problems","provider":"Ebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
