Use Plastic Boxes as Litter Boxes

Our cat Angel tends to miss the mark when using the litter box and will get the floor wet around the box. We've tried litter boxes with covers but she still managed to back up against the entry and urinate out of the box. I finally came up with a new idea that is working very well. We take a medium height plastic storage box and line it with 2 large garbage bags that we duct tape to the box. We have 3 cats and all three seem to be very comfortable with it. The trick is not to get it too high that they have trouble getting in and out.

I'm not sure I understand. You then put the litter box in the plastic box? My Tom cat does this too. We tried putting the litter box in a plastic box but it still was happening. I guess we couldn't find one big enough. Good Luck, I hope it works for your Angel. (03/10/2009)

That's an excellent idea. I think I am going to do it with Rachel's box (that has a lid) because then the kitty litter on her feet will end up in the extra box instead of on the floor outside the door :-) (03/10/2009)
