First, fear. If the cat is afraid to stay in the litter box and won’t come out, you need to calm it down and wait for it to adapt to the environment.

Second, cystitis or stones. Observe whether the cat wants to urinate but cannot, and whether it often urinates. If the cat frequently goes to the litter box but does not urinate, it is recommended to go to the hospital for X-ray and B-ultrasound examination to see if the cat has stones.
