Cats usually hiss when then feel threatened. The person posing the original question didn't cite whether the cat was male or female, but I would imagine that a male cat would hiss at a litter box more than a female if it detected another male's urine present. I don't think this is a common trait among the cat family, and your cat hissing at a litter box just might be something peculiar to your cat. Does it hiss at other bizzare times? Its behavior sounds a bit like a personality disorder and irrational. Does the owner pay a lot of attention to the cat? Perhaps that would help to soothe it. Does the owner talk to its cat? All animals love to be talked to and they all can easily detect the mood of their master. Often people do not understand how very intuitive cats and other animals are. They are extremely perceptive creatures. Just as in almost everything else in life, the more you put into them the more you get back. If you are mean, your pet will be mean. If you are loving, your pet will be loving. Finally, if your pet is acting aggressive and mean, first look into a mirror to find out what kind of a person you are.

Why do cats stop using litter box?

The litter box may not be clean enough for the cat or the cat feels uncomfortable in the litter box; a litter box should be cleaned every day or every second day, depending on how many cats you have. Maybe the cat does not know where the litter box is, if you move the litter box and don't show the cat its new location the cat won't know where the box is. The cat also mightn't be trained to use a litter box properly and might need a little help using it. Also, if a cat is very old, they mightn't realise they have to use the litter box or they do not have time to get to the litter box before they urinate etc. . The cat could also be sick.if your cat is just a kitten then the box might be too clean the kitten must smell where the toilet is.
