My cat ran away because he couldn't use the litter box. I have a litter box he just won't use it for some reason. This is so frustrating.
It happens almost every time I have a cat. So annoying. I shouldn't have to move the litter box, exit the game, buy a bunch of litter boxes, etc. Make the game work 😂

Whenever my sim’s cat needs to use the litter box it keeps saying there isn’t one on the lot even though there is. The adult cat reacts as if it’s a kitten and can’t go up the stairs. Even though it does to sleep in its bed

What happens when the bug occurs? My sim's cat gets upset, his icon shows orange, when asked the "What's wrong?" option, the cat complains about a dirty llitterbox, although all his litterbox(es) are clean! Even after using the litterbox and getting it clean, cat still perceives it as dirty. The cat also looks sad, but he's perfectly fine!
What do you expect to see? Cat not getting upset over a dirty litterbox that is NOT dirty!
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.

This bug is back folks!!! Cats getting upset over a dirty litterbox that IS NOT dirty!
Ok, so, my sims cat's icon gets orange, obviously something is not ok with him, so when asked "What's wrong?", the kitty complains about his llitterbox being dirty, although all his litterbox(es) are clean! Even after using the litterbox and getting it clean, the cat still perceives it as dirty. The cat also looks sad, I assume that is due to this issue, but he's perfectly fine and has nothing to be sad for! I have tried replacing the litterboxes with new ones, but still doesn't work!
This is so infuriating! This is an old bug that has resurfaced!
Am I the only one?

Happens to me all the time. The easiest way to deal with it:
1. testingcheats true
2. resetsim [cat's name]
In my case, it happens when a cat wants to use the litter while another cat is using it and also when the litter is dirty. Then even after the litter is cleaned or another cat has done its business, the cat won't even try. Reset resolves the problem. After typing resetsim [cat's name] the cat goes straight to the litterbox almost immediately.
