Best thing to do is to get a long, shallow plastic storage container (obviously just the box and not the lid) like the ones you get to store things under the bed. Seems to work the best. Cats like it because it is long. ( https://www.walmart.com/ip/Homz-60-Quart-Twin-King-Under-Bed-Clear-Latching-Storage-set-of-2/40977741 ) Other option is to take a regular large storage container and cut a hole in it on the side so he can go in/out. You can make it any size you want. Here is an example: ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JaVrsy-RgY ) Remember, the more shallow it is for him to get in effectively, the higher chance litter will be scattered everywhere..... Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Hi there. Any kind of container (such as a shallow cardboard box, plastic storage container, etc.) with litter in it will do. If you aren't able to purchase cat litter, you could try using potting soil, sand, or fill dirt.

Baking soda is definitely a viable option. I wouldn't add any sort of out side products into the litter. I would just choose a litter that is effective at disguising unwanted odors. The Arm and Hammer Double Duty and the Ultra are both really effective in my opinion at accomplishing this. There are also covered litter boxes that have little filters on top of them that help contain some of the odor. Another thing you might want to consider trying is to get one of those deodorizer jars and simply leave one open right next to the litter box. This will absorb a good portion of the unwanted odor. Hopefully, the new litter alone will solve your not-burying problem. Hope this make sense.

Freya may just be playing in the box. You may try making her a litter box out of a large rubbermaid container. Leave the top open and you may cut the hole a little higher than the litter line to see if this helps. Give her plenty of play time every day as well to see if that helps. Best of luck.

Feline Pine and Yesterday's News are both more "pellet-like" options. I actually like these two brands a lot as they have the added benefit of not containing any additives or chemicals. Good luck! Thanks for asking Boop by Petco!
