My favorite litterbox story is from a friend at another organization. An adopted cat suddenly stopped using the litterbox, and my friend walked the adopter through every possible solution she could think of, without any success. She finally visited the adopter's house in desperation hoping to find a cause... turns out the adopter had placed one of those spray scent-plug-ins close to the box(es) to cover up the smell and the cat was scared of this thing randomly spraying at him!
With the suggestion of a second box, she had added another plug-in for that box... When they had her move the box, she moved the plug-in as well! It never even occurred to the shelter staff to ask about something like that, and it never even occurred to the adopter to mention it! You don't know what you don't know
