my cat is old and sometimes misses the box...will the urine stay in the litter box instead of the floor?

This litter box solves the "overshoot problem" --mostly. It is possible for the cat to go over the edge in the entryway area only. However, the incidences of this happening are cut way down.

The urine definitely will stay in the box my only concern with an old cat would be the cat's ability (and comfort level) with stepping in and out of the box. If the entry point is a little too high for kitty maybe you could create a makeshift step into the box. Also make sure to fill the box with plenty of litter so the kitty does have a big jump to exit the box. If anything is too hard for an older cat they make go outside the box.

Unless your cat's butt is in the opening, you shouldn't have problem. My cat used to pee over the rim, and this litter box completely eliminated this issue.

Yes, if you replace the cardboard litterbox insert they send you and get one that fits tight. Target has them and they are perfect. Don't buy the ones with the high backs. They will not fit.

This high sided litterbox works best for cats who spray rather than squat when urinating, like my cat. The walls prevent the pee or poop from ending up around the outside of the box...unless your cat hangs their rear end out of the entrance. If your cat is old and missing the box, perhaps he/she has other issues that should be checked out by a qualified veterinarian. I hope this helps you.

The only thing I found that works it a brand of enclosed litter boxes called "Cat it". I bought it at Petsmart. The way the seams meet along the edge of the upper and lower part of the box causes the urine to run straight down the wall instead of sitting in the seams and finding its way out onto the floor. Well worth the money spent.

I have this litter box inside of the cat washroom/end table and so far, they have not peed over the top. The male usually peed up to the top of a covered box I had but he seems to keep it inside this one so far. It might be that having the litter box inside another "box" helps him to keep it down a little. :-)

There is a hole for the tail which also allows the cat to go to the litter box. My cat can use the litter box successfully with the diaper on; however, depending on the fit of the diaper, sometimes the feces end up in the diaper instead.

I'm seeing a number of products that address urine, but my cats are defecating under a bed, on the carpet, but use their boxes for urination. Will this product help with the defecation odor?

Yes, it works fine. The crystals work to dry the poop before it is pushed into the "storage area" so it can stunk for a while, but after it gets moved it is the same as if the cat buried it. You can adjust the time that the box waits before "pushing."

I haven't had a problem with a urine odor, with one non-diabetic cat. However, I recently decided to use Cat Litter deodorizer with it, because I had some and my cat is used to the smell. It makes the box smell more like her old one. Just sprinkle a little on the pad and pellets.

I'm not sure... if you can figure out how to install a higher side on the inside of the litter box (maybe some thin plastic and some e6000 glue), that would be the solution... but if it's not a feasible alternative, maybe this is a bad litter box for your cat. Which is too bad, because we STILL love it. :) I hope you find a solution!!!

I'm not sure, do you have more than one cat if so do you have more than one box? How often are you cleaning the box? Some cats don't/won't use a litter box that has anything in it which means cleaning it after every visit.Did you bring in another cat and she is acting out? It could also be a health issue, bladder infection maybe? Have you tried moving the box to a different location?

Did you recently change the type of litter you are using? If a cat uses the box to urinate but defecates outside the box, it means she doesn't like the litter. Like the other person asked, is the box to small and maybe she is trying to use the box but is going over the side? I haven't used the spray for this reason but like it for cats that spray.

I guess it depends on your cat. The idea is to deter further urinating, but it may not deter all cats. I think a lot depends on how soaked the area is as well. I'm only guessing that an area that is really soaked underneath (carpet pad, soil?) is harder to deter than a fresh one. If I were testing the idea, I'd spray the area and let it soak a bit to get rid of the urine odor and then perhaps rinse off the pea gravel to get rid of the Fizzion. Even if you can't smell it anymore, I think your cat could for a while anyway. In my atrium, occasionally a stray sprays one of the outside walls. I spray it down with Fizzion but ,eventually, it gets sprayed again.

Depends on the depth of the litter and how many times you cat uses the box and you scoop it. I typically keep a box 3 weeks. I keep it full of litter and scoop 2 times a day. You can tell when it needs to be changed. Made a positive difference in the smells in the house.

That's what I did initially but it you leave the pee sitting in the litter box for a long time, it's gonna smell badly. Because the pee always goes down to the bottom of the box and the sand does not clump, I had trouble cleaning it. I had to mix the crystal with another cat sand product (Arm & Hammer) in order let pee sand to clump and reduce pee odor.

No, the litter doesn't stick to the box. I am also still on my first box and I got several a few weeks ago.

It will be yellow and saturated in the area where your cat does his/her business most often. That's when you stir it up really well with the dry crystals in the box so the urine can be absorbed. When stirring no longer does the trick, it's time to dump and start over with fresh crystals. Hope this helps.

If there is enough space under the urine it should not stick to the sides. I've had this problem in the past and it was infact due to not having enough litter in the pan. However, given the nature of factory production and manufacturing; I wouldn't be surprised if a bag here and there was mainly dust or too much dust rather than particle. The mud created from the inappropriate ratio might cause this to happen. This issue is very inconvenient though~ I dislike it very much. It's why i stopped using Arm & Hamer cat liter in general. That stuff was horrible.

We've had our litter system for quite awhile and the liners have never altered the color of the urine. You might need to have the kitten checked out. I hope everything is okay.
