My three kittens are great about using their litter boxes, and always have been!
But lately I think they like the littler box a little too much because they've started playing in it! I know it's normal for them to dig and such, even if they don't need to go potty. I've also read about kitties taking their toys to the box, which one of mine (the male) has done a few times. I don't mind this as I know it is normal and doesn't make a mess.
But the last couple of weeks, the kittens have been digging so furiously during play that they are actually throwing handfuls of litter out of the box! I think it is mainly the male doing this because he seems more obsessed with playing there, but I can't be sure as I've never caught them in the act! I have to constantly sweep and vaccuum around the boxes because there is litter all over the floor!
Have any of you dealt with this kind of behaivor? Will they grow out of it, or do I just need to break down and buy a few of those boxes with the extra tall sides?
