A mess! Three suspects, no clues.

Reading a book nearby. Watching quietly.

Found it, and I wrote it down.

- Watch first. A quiet session near the box often solves it fastest, and stay relaxed because cats may wait if stared at.
- Isolate if needed. A short test with one cat and one box gives a clean answer, then check clump size and timing to narrow the suspects.
- Log it. One incident is not a pattern, so record it to see if it repeats, and consider a camera if watching is not possible.
The tracker's Litter Box Visits and Cat Name columns show which cat did what, so download the Multi-Cat Household Health & Litter Tracker and spot repeats.
