My cats like to pee around the sides of the litter box, how do these hold up to a little urine?

Not bad at all - I have four cats and they all like to pee in the corners! However, I've only used them for 1-1.5 week.

They hold up pretty well. My cats can sometimes pee on the sides as well and these hold up for a few months.

These are made of cardboard--I actually use a plastic liner with mine...and works thru a couple of changes with a new liner. I do not think you would want to use without a liner-if your cats pee on sides where there is no litter. If they are peeing outside the box? Sounds like a cat litter issue...I used Cat Attract for a feral cat that had never used a box...he used it within minutes of me putting it down--was amazing. They sell Cat Attract litter on amazon-and at PETCO-it really works.

I am still using my first box which I got at least two months ago. The boxes hold up very well.

My cats are declawed. However, using the liner there is little room to put much litter in the pan. I stopped using this box because my cats urinated over the sides which caused a mess.

How good do your cats get along? It would fit a decent sized litter box, but as someone with 3 cats who have all their claws, I could see them clawing the heck out of the mesh sides.

Hi Maria ~ My 6cats have been using the regular SwheatScoop since the mid-90s, so I've been scooping umpteen clumps of litter weekly. Every one of them goes into the toilet & there's never been a problem with clogging or otherwise. The clumps stay hard & together in the litterbox, but when they hit the toiletbowl water, they fall apart & flush completely.

I try to wipe it down daily. Usually it's just the small inner ledge that gets dirty, not the part that the cat stands on. I've never seen any urine spray from outside the toilet, but occasionally a little piece of poo here and there (I have no idea why, though). No matter what, it's way better than cleaning a cat box once the cat completes the training.

I've used the green, the red, and the lavender (NOT my best) and the big clumps go effortlessly down my low-flow toilets which I was really surprised by. The old large volume flushes, no problem. The new toilets flush away easily too. Cats are 5 years old now so we've been using this litter for at least 4 1/2 years.

Hi Kelly - My one cat likes to back up against the side to urinate, and would sometimes overshoot the edge. She still does the same thing and what I noticed is just a little urine on the edge of the box after I take of the lip to scoop. So, I'd say it's contained. The box is the deepest I've ever had and I haven't seen any drips..I completly wash it out every 2 weeks and have not noticed any drips down the outside. I'm pretty happy with it. Sure contains the litter....only a few escape now. It was ridiculous before.

Best thing for "high peers" is the Clever Cat top entry litter box. My cats had no trouble adapting to them and now there is never any pee outside the litterbox. I had previously used the Boodha dome and that was terrible ... they would pee right over the steps and the pee would collect at the bottom. Disgusting. The only solution I've found is the top entry box. Good luck!

I only used the pellets for a short time, but there was less mess outside the box. I have a cat who refuses to use the regular litter or the pellets to urinate. So I just use the pads. I put one on top and one in the drawer and she uses the breeze litter box to pee and regular cat litter to poop.

I clean mine everyday and they last me about 6 months. I have 2 cats and two boxes side by side for them at all times. I highly recommend them!

No matter the size the cat, the problem with this type box is that cats pee against the side of the box causing urine to collect under the pan creating an awful mess. I would not recommend this box no matter the size of your cat.

One of my cats likes to spray, which is why I got this litterbox for him. Overall, he really likes the box as do I. However, the urine does get into the latches. This allows the urine to come through to the outside of the latches, which is very difficult to clean. I have to use Q-tips and even then it is difficult. Also, once in the latch, the urine also runs in the channel where the hood fits into the bottom. Both my cats love using this box, but the latches are a huge problem for me.

The sides of the Biddy Box are high (9 in) compared to other regular litter boxes. Some litter will be thrown even then. It's hard to know with a cat who likes to play in the litter (aren't they cute!?) if it gets really wild. The Biddy Box is better than any other I've used. Buy a little broom and dust pan to have nearby to clean up every time you clean out the box.

I use Aquarium rocks in a two tier litter box. The top tier I drilled over 100 holes (1/2 in apart ). My cat initially wanted to use the old litter box but now he is using it. And I put Orange Dishwashing Liquid in the bottom to mask any urine odor. It does work.

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.

Hey Michael, I had this exact problem with my cat. He was peeing on my couch, bed, rugs, etc. He has had some slip ups since I got this litter box, but they are significantly reduced. Having this one plus my old regular litter box (which I try to shovel out every time I notice he's used it) seem to work pretty well. He seems to pee outside of the litter box most when I'm not doing as good of a job cleaning out the original box. Hope this helps! It's been really helpful for me.

They last a very long time, I don't change mine out for maybe 6 months or so. I keep it scooped out daily, but find nothing sticks to the bottom and it doesn't absorb through. No odor develops over time either. The deeper sides make messy kitties a little cleaner too, it's harder for them to toss the litter over the sides.
