cat missing the litter box

[Use Less]

I just posted about my cat Hisser marking in the house. I'm also having problems with Porky peeing outside the litter box. She will have her front feet in, and pee on the edge or outside. I have the boxes on paper, then in boot trays, with MORE paper. There are four boxes total in two rooms. I keep them clean. She still manages to get some pee spots and litter onto the floor. Any ideas? Thanks.

If you use a box with a cover she won’t be able to hang her but over the edge. If you don’t want a cover, you could put up a wall where she tends to go. Vinyl or plastic would work.

Could be a sign of illness or injury. Or perhaps she is mad at you for some cat reason.
Our Pippin started doing that about a month before she passed - she had a blood clot affecting her rear half and couldn't move it like she should have been able to.

Nice huge litterboxes are horribly expensive. Rubbermade totes are WAY cheaper. Give her a large, deep litterbox. Big enough for her to maneuver in there and deep enough she can't hang her bottom out.

Occasionally we had trouble such as this.  The deeper the box the better in my opinion...
Good luck,

That is some times a sign of UTI issues. Has the Vet checked your cat out?

Dr Foster and Smith, as some really big little boxes.

I had a cat once that would poop over the side of the box, turn around and see what she'd done, then scoop the litter out to cover it. She was a young cat with no issues, but that's how she regularly did it.

How old is your cat Porky, the one peeing half out? 10 years old+ it could most likely be a health issue. Younger ones it could most likely be an easily fixable issue. Have you had a change in litter recently? That could do it if you had. You said you keep it clean and I am not judging at all, but rather just want to know what your definition of clean is. To my hubby for instance once a week is clean, but to me scooping once a day at the minimum (twice a day is the best) for our one cat is clean. Were the boxes recently moved at all, even a tiny bit? We moved our box once when my parents came to visit and insisted it be removed from the bedroom my husband and I sleep in (we had offered our bed to my parents while they stayed and the litter box is in our bedroom). It was only moved a few feet and only for 2 hours but our cat went and peed on the carpet where the box used to be lol. Finally, I agree the huger the box the better like the other posters said. Box should be big enough for the cat to stand in without feet tucked/scrunched, turn around in a circle and any pee/poo while doing these motions should still fall in, that's big enough. If you clean it every day then 3 inches of litter is deep enough. I was not keen on dealing with cat pee/poop issues when we took our cat from my sister a few years ago. So after some litter research we settled on www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009X29WK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01. We have had great success with it with our 14-15 yr old cat who used to be an indoor cat then an outdoor cat, now indoor again.
