If your cat suddenly stops using the litter box, it’s usually a sign of a medical or emotional problem—not 'bad behavior.'

Mechanism: misconception, universal hidden experience, explanation

Payoff: Teaches that cats use their toilet habits to signal distress, which is often misunderstood, prompting empathy and practical action.
