My 11 yo female tuxedo has recently taken to playing in her litter box. She will use the litter box (large front-entry, covered, lined) as normal, then a few minutes stick her head in and scratch around, then get all the way back in and scratch around, then get back out. When actually using the litter box she seems to like to scratch the sides/liner a lot (it's the Modkat tarp-y like liner) and has shredded the edges quite a bit (I think to her satisfaction).
This is a recent behavior. She eats, drinks and plays normally. Nothing about her pee/poop looks abnormal and she isn't crying or meowing while using it.
Any thoughts? Is she just playing? She has always been a rambunctious cat that loves to roll around, go out on the patio to look at birds and squirrels and scratch at every nice fabric (of course).
