So Jackie is kinda an idiot. He likes to pee in one box, then poop in the other. In his excitement/eagerness he doesn’t cover his pee or something. When he climbs over the side of one box, into the other he steps into his pee litter puddle and gets clumping litter stuck all over his back paw(s). Which makes a mess and is awful cleaning up the litter off his paws!
I removed his 2 high sided littter boxes and gave him a large tub. Problem solved but I wanted to give him 2 boxes (in case I have an awful sick day, he can skip one day of box cleaning if absolutely necessary.) So I gave him back one of his small boxes. He then climbed the side of his tub into his litter box! So I added a lid wall.
So I may DIY & cut a entry whole in the side of the tub (& sand it? So it won’t hurt him?) if I do that I will look for a second large tub with a smooth bottom for him. (He is a litter kicker so it must be high sided.) The scratching sofa is there temporarily as a step to make it easier for him to get in & out.
I could give him back his two smaller boxes with the “wall” between them.
Does anyone have any other ideas on a better box? Should I look for an extra long, extra deep tub so it is just a giant litter box?
The cute little twerp that is lucky I love him to pieces:
