How can I prevent my cat from guarding the litter box?

To prevent your cat from guarding the litter box, try placing multiple litter boxes in different locations, keeping them clean, and providing enough space for your cat to feel comfortable using them. Additionally, consider using a covered litter box or adding a second exit to the litter box area to give your cat an escape route. If the behavior persists, consult with a veterinarian or animal behaviorist for further guidance.
