My cat keeping peeing over the side. How can I train him to hit the target? Or install higher sides?

My prior cat did not mind this box or pellets, but the new cat would have nothing to do with this so we went back to regular litter with a high-sided box. Plus, these pellets feel like stepping on Legos with bare feet and poop sticks to them, those often fall through the scoop which makes my dogs believe this box is their personal dessert cart.

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!!!

It may help, I used for spraying along with the cat pheromone product plug-in's next to the area that he sprays. The main thing is get to the reason he is spraying. We added another liter box which also helps but honestly it still happens from time to time.

You can try.. Cats need to scratch things so you need to provide that possibility for him. Try showing him this post and maybe spray it with a cat nip type spray to attract him. Then when he goes to scratch the wall paper.. Spray him with a water bottle sprayer (don't hit or yell at him) and direct him to the post. Worked for many of my cats over the years. They have to learn just like small children need to learn.

Try this: put the food container and hay feeder on the top of litter box at corners because bunny eats and poops concurrently. It works for me bunny with less accidents on the feeding platform now... but he pees in bedding area all the time, any suggestions?

If course the foil side is. The other side is fabric and is not. I don't think you will need to worry about pee on it. My 2 cats don't go near it.

The queen has not attempted this, she enjoys the very roomy interior, the opening of the litter box is a bit like a curved scoop, it looks like if she did attempt to try to pee over the edge that it would go back into her box. I hope that this helps. - Dante the humble cat servant....

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 bubble does a full rotation, counterclockwise. There is a pair of square hotels to with a spring loaded door for the waste to fall through. So depending on where he sprays, litter may or may not go over the spot to soak up pee. And the cat might actually spray outside the bubble if he aims high enough toward the front. It's not really tall enough for a full grown cat to fully stand to pee though, so he may adjust his position to accommodate. If anything, this thing is super easy to clean. I took the bubble portion out back and hosed it down, then towel dried it. Hope this info helps. The bubble does a full rotation, counterclockwise.

yep, check with a vet when cat starts to pee outside box..it can be very serious. But cats go outside the box for a few reasons. I'd start perhaps by taking the top off the box, so the cat can clearly see what and where shes' getting into until she gets used to it. Because this box is rather large and the hole is low down on it, its pretty dang dark in there..yes i understand cats see in the dark, but my cat much prefers a bright box so yours might as well. I'm thinking of sticking a lamp close by to illuminate the inside better for my girl..or sticking one of those disposible taplights on inside of lid and leaving on. You can replace the lid when you need to roll the box, as well as once cat gets used to it. I've had this issue with other boxes before. Another thing to remember is cats dont deal with any change well...everything should be done in stages. You might well want to try the box with top off for now. Good luck..peeing outside the box is no fun, but do get your animal checked out!

This is definitely a question I should have considered before buying mine. My one cat likes to pee in the corner directly above the grate so it does require regular maintenance to clean out that spot or else it will build up where the scoop can't reach. I wouldn't call it a huge dealbreaker, though, just a minor inconvenience and still better than scooping out a normal litter box every day. (Also, I've noticed this problem gets worse if I don't occasionally even out the litter, since the grate tends to push it all forward and leaves those back corners a little low.)

I have a dog and cat that I have to keep separated. The tall gate - he can go over but I needed something to block off the hallway - so I got this gate and added the bug off mesh screen for door ways - I have it hanging from the ceiling and it ends about 1 foot from the floor - I keep it on the side the cat is on and the ONE time he tried to jump/climb it - he got half up way and then went oh no and fell backwards (safely landing of course!). He hasn't tried to get over it and its easy to get thru because I got the sliding glass door one that has a center opening. Its not pretty but it keeps my 4 legged kids apart from one another and safe. I have a dog and cat that I have to keep separated.

Give it some time. Let the cats adjust to it. Put toys on the levels. They will come around.

Hey buy another tray and put it up against the wall to stay with velcro...but put the side of the one on floor under the one on wall so that the pee stays on mainly the one on floor...just have to clean the rim off of the wall one when you change both pads....good luck

I know I'm jumping in here late, but to keep your cat off your kitchen counters you might want to try the "Scat Mat". Our cat stopped jumping on the counter after 5 attempts over two days. She hasn't gone near any counter since! It also works to keep the animals (dogs and cats) off furniture. And it worked well as a room boundary until they learned to jump over it. So we put two mats side by side, and that did the trick. There are several models/sizes. <http://www.amazon.com/SONIC-SCAT-DETERRENT-REPELLENT-DOGS/dp/B004GQGN50/ref=sr_1_cc_7?s=aps&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1426301520&sr;=1-7-catcorr&keywords;=scat+mat> I know I'm jumping in here late, but to keep your cat off your kitchen counters you might want to try the "Scat Mat".

One of our cats does the same thing - we tried covered boxes but the urine just ran down from the side of the top and gathered in the capilary space between the lid and bottom part of the box. The only we have found to work is 18 GAL Roughneck Totes by Rubbermaid. They are 24 x 16 (like a regular litter box) but even on her best tail pumping days, our female cat can only get to within a half inch of top the the 16.5" tall side walls. I am considering this box but am concerned that the pee will run down the wall and collect where the lid and bottom come together. Did you have any luck with this product and your cat?

I Haven't had this problem but try cleaning the magnets or putting a small weight ( small magnets ) at the bottom to weight it to swing down. I did this with one of my other cat doors and it helped.

If your cat(s) hit at or above the seam where the top and bottom meet, there's a good chance urine will leak out onto your floor. The way the shield connects - over the top and to the outside of the pan - actually channels it out.
