How old are your cats? It might not be the box, they may be sick and trying to tell you something.
So I recently just bought my cats a new litter box because the old one didn't have a cover and it was stinkin up the joint. This litter box is pretty huge because both of cats are pretty big. It was decently expensive, has a cover and all that and even has the door thing.
Well, they sometimes use it and sometimes they opt to just on the floor next to it and piss in the laundry basket. It's driving me ing crazy. I don't get it, I clean the box out a lot and I literally just cleaned it an hour ago and I come out to find my older cat, who knows better, ting on the carpet right next to a fresh litter box.
This is driving me insane. Has anyone had this problem before? I even took the door off so they won't feel all claustrophobic. I just don't see why they choose to use it half the time and the other half they just dook all over the place.
HALP!!!

Yeah, when I don't feel well I just in the corner.
Since cats can't talk, how else are they going to tell him they aren't feeling good?

Did you change litter on them?
cats are assholes! they don't give a about you! recognize!
3 exclamation marks... yeah!!!
ps: cats are better suited outside in the jaws of some poor fox.
A swift kick in the kitty sack will have them basturds back on track!!!!
I can fix your problem.
Grown men don't own cats. Unless you are gay, if so then you are covered.
Well I just relocated my cats' litterbox to the other end of the laundry room, so I hope they don't decide to protest. Lee, they may not be used to the cover. Why don't you remove it and see if the "accidents" still happen?
This is a good idea for a couple of reasons. Cats generally don't like feeling "trapped", and a cover where there wasn't one before likely feels restricting. Also, it makes the ventilation poor and cats have much better sense of smell than we do. You may not smell a thing, but to the cats the stink of ammonia is likely intolerable.
do you vacuum around the box. if you let that build up they treat it like the box. if you switched to a cheaper litter they normally don't like that. one of mine had a reaction to it, so i went back to it. the one i use that is really good, and make's me forget i have a litter box, is the arm & hammer multiple cat brand. i don't know about the "trapped" feeling. mine has a cover, but i'd imagine all cats are different. plus did you put your box close to their food. they don't like crapping where they eat as i imagine no one does. generally, who knows with cats. we're just staff.
I tried using a covered litter box with my cats after having an uncovered one their entire lives. They did pretty much the same thing. I went back to an uncovered box, problem solved.
If you switched back to an uncovered box and the accidents didn't stop, there's a good chance there is something wrong with them, physically. They could also just be pissed about the covered box and continuing to exact revenge on you.
Give your cats away, get a pitbull, and train it to piss and outside. Full proof solution.
i totally agree... moving again soon and will be getting myself one when i do.
i wanna get one similar to my bosses dog brutus!
People love to hate on pitbulls, but they are great dogs if they're trained.
Are those your boss' legs?
remind me never to come over.sometimes they opt to just on the floor next to it and piss in the laundry basket

Damn...look at her hands...that one thumbnail is a deadly weapon and the rest are normal...

WTF??? Coke heads still grow out one long fingernail???
And oh yeah Lee, take the cover off, no creature likes to do their business in a freain' fox hole!!!
Stick them in a pillow case and then throw the pillow case off your nearest bridge.
yall are funny and if it wasn't for the fact that i didn't sign in a bit ago i would've never seen I. Dumb 's posts.
btw, that nail is, if you look closely, covered with a bandaid dumbasses. and i have no clue if that's my boss' legs because it was xmas and there's a bunch of people over at her house on that day. yall sure are quick to pick apart a picture when the real subject is right there in front of your eyes but seeing as yall can't tell the difference between a bandaid and a fingernail i guess the dog just went unnoticed(?).
I bet they just don't like it or aren't used to it. Try taking it off and if that works I'd try slowly adapting them to it, maybe put it on once a week, then twice, etc.
Search around on the internet for some car forums, I'm sure there is a way to make it work.
If you went straight to a covered box after they had been using an open box they aren't going to take it well...cats don't deal with change all that well lol. I would suggest having one covered box and one open box...clean out the open box less frequently than the covered box and they'll be more motivated to use the covered box...after about 2 weeks they should be okay to totally remove the open box.
We've been using the Breeze Liter System by Tidy Cats for our 3 cats...it is the best thing ever, no liter tracking and no amonia like smell...try it out!
