I recently brought home a stray male cat. Not only does he not cover up his litter, he keeps going to the same corner/spot in the litter box. It makes the litter so wet that it doesn't clump as it should. He doesn't seem to be used to living so neatly either, such as making a mess on his face or drops food around his food bowl whenever he eats. And I've also caught him drinking water out of the toilet instead of the water bowl I set out for him. I make sure to give him fresh, ice-cold water----even make sure that he clearly sees me pour the refrigerated water for him. Then he would still "paw" the water, as if to make sure the water is really there, before he drinks it.
How can I train him to be neat and live and carry himself as a cat should?
