My cat urinates in his box, but poops outside the box. Does this litter help with pooping?

My cat did the samething and then he stopped using his box all together. What I have found is do you have more then one litter box? I have just the one cat and he has three, some cats are very picky about where they do there business so by adding another litter box that can help. THIS STUFF WORKS!! Like i said my cat wasnt using his at all and now I have no more problems. Its worth it.

It's definitely worth a try. There is some kind of herb they put in it to make a cat happy to use the box. Petco sells the litter (it's cheaper here) and bottles of the "attract" stuff. The litter fixed the frustrating potty issue right away for us.

YES! My cat gets litter EVERYWHERE around the cat box and I just bust this thing out once or twice a day to clean it up.

Not very well, I have a cat who pees in corners and along the sides never in the center and I'm constantly having to scrape and scoop the inside the box several times throughout the day, which defeats the purpose of a automatic self cleaning litter box.

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.

I've tried only the red package. We have five cats and, every time someone comes over, I ask if they can smell cats. The answer is always "no."I sift out four litter boxes twice a day, getting about two and a half pounds of poop/pee every 24 hours.

You need to see your veterinarian. Both of my cats are rescues. My male was doing the same - stool was extremely hard and dry. Urinated in box, pooped outside.X-ray showed stool backed all the way up. He is now on medication and pooping in the box most of the time. If he poops outside the box it's because it hurts and I increase his dosage. Your cats are probably identifyting pain defecating with the litter box. I'd rule out physical probs first than take it from there. The feliway helps calm my male from freaking out so much from being medicated directly to mouth. I now give smaller quantities in food several times a day and I have a triple fish emulsion compounded by a pharmacy. Good Luck! You need to see your veterinarian. Both of my cats are rescues.

The only way we knew it was working was because the cat poop isn't there anymore. Not sure about the answer to the second question. We just set it and let it do it's job. Now our back yard is not a giant litter box.

Hello, I have the same cat litter box and it is absolutely horrible! When the cat does use the litter box then everything gets caught up in the wire rake. Then it falls into the litter and gets pushed back and forth and never goes where it is suppose to. It is a huge mess to have to clean up. Much worse then a regular litter box. I have sent mine back and I did not clean the thing because I wanted them to see just how awful this thing was! The poop went everywhere! Send yours back because if your cat does finally use it then you will have the same kind of mess to deal with! Not to mention the odor!

My 16 year old cat pees outside the box. I think she was trying to tell me something about she not liking it. I had been using her old cheap Costco litter first. Thinking that that was the problem I switched to Tidy Cat Multiple Cat something. I even purchased a new mat.I had to wash the mat yesterday and found she was peeing in front of her litter box regardless of the litter type. Since she can't tell me why she doesn't like it it seems I'm back to the store to find a regular style litter box. But oh, how I hate the back breaking scooping of the litter...

No, but please rule out medical conditions first, kitty could have a UTI or some other underlying condition. It also could be there is something about the litter box kitty does not like, i.e., too much litter, not enough, not clean enough, etc. I had issues with my adopted kitty who was urinating on a carpet area and tried numerous solutions, and finally found resolve in simply placing another litter box over the area she was using. Some people dump their cats at the shelter or where ever due to such problems. Please don't do that, there is a reason kitty is urinating outside the box.

My previous litter box didn't have liners, so when my cat scratched the bottom, it became very grimy. The liner prevents that and generally makes changing litter easier. I can lift the liner and litter out and throw them all away at once then wipe down the inside, and I find that to be a lot cleaner.

Buy a better scoop. Try the Litter Lifter. Your box smells because the dirty cat pee clumps are not getting cleaned out. It could be the box holds too much litter and you can't get out all the dirty clumps with the current scoop you have.

I got this new litter box 2 months ago and haven't had any problems with it. I was reading a lot of reviews of the cat litter you mentioned earlier though, and I suspect that may be the cause of your cat's problem. It is recommended that when switching cat litters you do it gradually, starting with a mix of 1/3 World's Best and 2/3 your regular cat litter, and from there up the ratio of World's Best over a period of a few weeks. I'd suggest you try emptying out the new litter and mixing it as the manufacturer outlines--see if that solves the issue. Good luck.

Hmm, weird. Mine is clumping really well. I wonder if you're using enough litter? If not, your cat might be pushing litter out of the way, peeing on the bottom of the litter pan, then covering it back up with litter. I recommend putting more in the litter in the pan and seeing if that makes a difference. I personally put several inches high of litter in my cats' pan. There's no smell & it clumps really well.

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.

After I clean my box out of all poop and pee, then I sprinkle some of this on top of the littler itself. Makes litter smell so much better. The cats will eventually scratch it down into the litter and then I just add it again the next day. You only need a little at a time. I have a giant box for my 2 cats and it works wonders. Love it.

After some trial and error I found the BEST litter to use is Ultra/LitterPearls microcrystals! (I have 5 cats using this litter box and my visitors can't smell it!!). It absorbs great and they dont get scraped into the disposal hole by the scraper.
