Material

The litter box mat that your cat normally uses
A pressure sensitive counter

Method

I have shared the idea with you. Now, I leave it to your imagination to device a system that works well for you, your cat and your family.

This could be a manual pressure sensitive counter that uses a system of pulleys or any other method that would work well for you and your cat.

It could be even beads dropping into a box below your cat's litter box or it could be a string that moves when your cat steps on the litter box mat or it could be a electronic gadget - that works on a similar principle like an electronic weighing scale.

If you are familiar with electronic gadgets you could design one yourself or you could even ask a friend to help you do this.

Once your litter box counter is ready, try using it for your cat and at the end of each day, keep a record of the number of times your cat uses the litter box.

Maintain a separate diary for this. It will come in handy whenever you want to rule out the possibility of any gastro-intestinal infection or urinary tract infections in your cat.
