I am absolutely losing my mind over litterboxes.
I need to find a suitable storage bin to convert into a litterbox for a large cat who pees sideways and very high.
I am currently using this FRISCO High Sided Cat Litter Box, Extra Large 24-in (Free Shipping) | Chewy, which is 10" high all around, (24x18x10) and he still pees over the sides regularly. I'm estimating that it would have to be at least 17 or 18" tall to prevent this.
I just bought a large 30 gal sterlite tote, but I'm afraid it won't work because
1. it does not have a flat surface on the bottom, it has ridges along the sides so it would be hard to scoop and
2. it is 30x20x17. the 17" height is good but the length/width is so large that I would have to use tons of litter and it would be extremely difficult for me to lift/clean with my bad back.
Ideally, I'd want
1. approximately 24" long, 18" wide, 17 or 18 high (no bigger or it will be too hard for me to lift)
2. totally box shaped, flat surface with no bends or ridges
But I have been searching for months everywhere - target, Walmart, various online sites, home improvement stores etc. and have been unable to find anything. They all have ridges on the bottom.
The only thing that comes close is a clear, flat bin from the Container Store that is about 23.5x18x19 and costs $45!
If you know of any *flat* storage bins that would be about 24x18x17 that would be way cheaper than $45, please let me know.
