It sounds like your cat may have some of urinary or bladder infection
or other problem. Have you had an X-ray? Sometimes these things arent detectable except by X-ray or something similar. It does sound medical to me. Maybe you need a second opinion? |

In the first 18 years or so of her life, she only got sick twice, or was it three times. So I don't mind at all spending money on vet bills these days. Lisa |

My Kitty is 17 and growing arthritic. For the last several years, she has
not squatted as much as she used to when she uses the litter box, and she pees over the edge of the box. Her box is in the spare room shower stall and I lay newspaper under her box. Everyday I scoop her box and replace the paper and every few days I use the shower to wash the area. She does not have any urinary problems; it's just a matter of age and flexibility. She grooms herself much less, so I brush her much more. It takes her longer to get up from a nap and she's pretty unsteady as stands. But she is still the sweetest cat I've ever met. -- |

I'd like to thank everyone for their replies again, every one is
appreciated. Apart from one incident, Princess seems to be adapting OK to the Booda Igloo. I'm sure she must find the ramp convenient. I find the ramp convenient as that's where the output of bad aim ends up, not on the floor But if this doesn't work out, I know where to get a really big tub! Lisa |

Put heavy duty plastic underneath the box,
and go to the section of drug store that has depends. Their are adult diapers that unfold so they are perfectly flat, a good 2 foot by 2 foot square. Lay a couple of those out on top of the plastic, and if she does have an accident, they will absorb the urine. You just pick up/throw away, and replace them.

Since the problem is not that she doesn't use the box, but that she pees over the side I have an idea that may work for her. Get one of those tall plastic storage bins, but make sure to choose one that is not too wide but is long. You're brilliant! I've been trying to think of how to make a (preferably covered) cat box that's big, with tall sides, and with the opening in the long side. I should be able to find an appropriately sized tub, and I can certainly cut my own (narrow!) access hole in the correct side. And the plastic would be easy to clean. Looks like Princess will have a new custom cat box within a day or two Lisa |
