box to counter

[philaros]

Why is it that my cat feels compelled to go straight onto my kitchen counter after using her litterbox (which is in the bathroom)? She doesn't do it every single time, but pretty regularly. Of all the places she could go, potentially trailing bits of litter, she has to go to the worst possible one. (Well, except perhaps burrowing under the covers of my bed - I suppose I can be thankful for that.)
