According to Pam Johnson Bennet, cat behaviorist, this a way of expressing dominance in a multi cat household. The first one to "claim" the box is usually the dominant cat. Cats can be dominant in one part of the house, and lower on the ladder in another. so it is possible that one cat is dominant at one box, and a differnet cat at another.

You mean you haven't used it before as he's always been the first there to mark it. Heavens knows what you'd get up to if he didn't!

Jet very rarely uses the litter tray now but preferes to go outside or if desperate, in the bath, but I have to admit I do still clean the litter tray and as like everyone else, she has to have a 'wee' in it.
