I would try a large litter box. Some cats, especially males, need a large space in order to not accidently drip on the outside of the box. You may also try the option of a covered box. Some cats don't like those so I would still leave out the uncovered boxes. You could also get some of the urinary pads like puppy pads or geriatric human bed pads to put under the pans to make clean up easier. Finally, I would make sure you have enough boxes in general. The typical rule of thumb is a litterbox per cat plus one extra. I know with 6 cats, that can be a lot so however many you can put throughout your house, the better. I hope this helps!

If the box is not covered I would recommend doing so but otherwise try a wood pellet based litter which can be quite similar in texture; you may need to try a few brands until you find one that is acceptable to Storm!

Hi and thanks for posting. A lot of cats do not take to the covered litter boxes as well as open non covered boxes. I would take the cover off of it if possible and see if she uses the littler box with the top off. I'd try that first. I hope this helps and thanks for using Boop by Petco!

This could be tough if the cats have never used covered boxes before. If you have any of the used litter from the old boxes, put this in the boxes so it has their scent. Make sure to use the same type and brand of cat litter. It may help to leave the boxes uncovered for a few days o allow the cats to get in the habit of using the new boxes, then put the cover on. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

I am sorry that your cat is having this issue. I would recommend keeping the lid off the litter box at all times. Some cats like litter boxes that are covered while other cats like them when they are not covered. I would also recommend adding in another litter box since it is ideal to have however many cats you have plus one in your house. I also recommend cleaning the litter box at least once a day. Making sure there is a litter box on each floor so that way your cat doesn't have to go to another level of the house to go to the bathroom. After this is he is still urinating outside the box I would recommend taking him to a veterinarian to make sure he does not have a urinary tract infection. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.
