10. A method of treating an increased risk of leukemia or kidney disease for a cat who uses a litter box, the method comprising:
(a) collecting data on one or more of a health parameter, a diet parameter, a behavior parameter, or an environmental parameter of the cat, on at least one of (i) a weight-sensing device placed under the litter box or (ii) a motion/movement detection device placed under the litter box, wherein the one or more of a health parameter, a diet parameter, a behavior parameter, and an environmental parameter comprises a first health parameter that is kidney function of the cat;
(b) analyzing the data on a processor to track at least one of event frequency in the litter box, event duration in the litter box, or time of day of event in the litter box, wherein the analyzing of the data comprises developing a baseline behavior pattern regarding use of the litter box and identifying a change in use of the litter box away from the baseline behavior pattern; and
(c) providing a nutrition, health, and/or wellness recommendation based on the analyzed data, wherein the recommendation identifies the increased risk of kidney disease for the cat who uses the litter box.
