My cat sometimes pees over the edge of the doorway of his litterbox. Does the opening on the bottom half of this box stick out like a little ramp?

Sort of , it's more like a cupping device to keep the litter in. My son's cat used to do that too , turning around and peeing out the door. It does help it to stay in , like a splash guard, but nothings perfect when dealing with that. I keep an old towel under the litter pan and change it daily.its easier than cleaning it up after the pee goes under the pan and is floating. I do think the bottom lip on the pan helps quite a bit compared to the regular type of litter pans. We also got his cat the big corner pan as opposed the the smaller oval pan. That helps keep it in as well. Good luck to you ! Sort of , it's more like a cupping device to keep the litter in. My son's cat used to do that too , turning around and peeing out the door.

it doesn't aim down like a ramp. but it does stick out kind of like a pour spout. it is rounded but it angles up. it is lower than i would prefer and i worried about my cats peeing over the top but they haven't. sometimes when they get out of the box and dig to cover what they've done the litter they dig back towards themselves has come perilously close to flying out of the box but it hasn't come out yet.

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....

Yes it does, it helps minimize the edge pee'er. I have two cats, they pee close to all four rounded sides. I lift each and when there tap on the outside to help the clump fall away toward the center and then scoop it out, has been working well using this system.

Yes, it does. It curls out. I have 2 cats and they have never had a problem like you describe. My cats are big -about 15 pounds each - so that would be a factor.

Your kitty shouldn't have a problem entering the box. The opening is low to the floor and is quite large.

3.5 inches inside from bottom of pan to the rim of inside lip of "doorway/ramp". The outside is ramped, so hard to measure/describe. If you fill the pan, depending on how deep you fill it, it can be made fairly level with the lip, but it would take a LOT of litter to fill it that deep. My disabled cat doesn't have any problem exiting the box, though, even with only 2 inches of litter in the box (and about an inch and a half step up and out).

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.

There are locks on either side of the lid. The lid then comes off the top to scoop. I love this litter box and it definitely will not leak urine.

The sides are actually pretty low. They're about the same as a normal non-scooping litterbox -- maybe somewhere between a standard and x-large one. It's taller right at the front because of the plastic shield thingy that keeps the litter from falling out the front when it scoops. I have never used the ramp on mine, it is more hassle than useful. ;)

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.

I think most cats would be able to sneak through the bottom corners. The opening on the bottom corners is a little bit wider. Also, all cats I've ever owned could probably jump over this gate.

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.

Hello JoAnn, If by door you mean a film that covers the opening that an animal can move through, no. The black hole (which is 6" off the ground) you see is the opening in and out of this unit. This is the very best litter box I have ever purchased and I have tried just about all of them. There is nothing on this to break down and become useless. Best wishes, Cyndy

Yes it has a ramp. It is on the front of the enclosed area. I wish it was somewhere else so the rabbits den would not have to be exposed for them to get out. Also the litter tray though very convenient , is shallow so it has to be cleaned often.

I don't know because I have the litter box inside a wicker cat furniture box (kind-of looks like an end table).

The back end of the box is 11 inches high, and the front is 6 inches...it tapers down to a lower front. I leave the lid on but with the top folded back, so my cat naturally goes with his head out the hole and butt towards the rear of the box. Therefore, if he fails to "squat" fully while urinating, then his business end is facing the higher trimline of the box base. I keep the top on though, and it provides a nice seal to prevent ANY urine from escaping the box. I use the Freshkitty Jumbo bags and just force the lid to latch and everything works fine.

No not at all! The opening is large enough for the bigger pieces of litter. No worries there. What I advise is to buy baking soda and stick in the bottom of the Litter Champ and you can't even smell the litter. I love this product. We have two 6 month old kittens and it is awesome! I hope this helps!

The inside (where the litter goes) is smooth. However the bottom on the outside of the container has a raised perimeter and a raised X that goes from corner to corner

I haven't had any problems in this area, but my litterbox has high walls & back. I have another different box downstairs that I lined with clear contact paper which works great for any accidents.

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!!!
