We're having an ongoing problem with Sonic - we use ordinary low-sided open topped litter trays and he keeps facing the wrong way when he's in them, hanging his bum over the edge, and pooing on the floor. This morning was very frustrating, I woke up to a pile of poop beside the bedroom litterbox which must have been from during the night, and went into the sitting room to find him perched on the edge of the tray in there faced the wrong way and making a deposit on the carpet in there too!
I could deal with it but Sonic has a sensitive tummy and every so often gets the runs, and this morning was one of those occassions. This usually is only one stool affected then back to normal, about once every few weeks, so not a major health concern, just trying to work out at the moment which food is causing it - but it is fairly horrible to clean up! I was at the end of my tether this morning as you can imagine and was late for work!
Now as some of you may recall, we've had struggles in the past to get him to use litter trays AT ALL, so I'm reluctant to do a quick switch to covered boxes, as if he's at least peeing in the trays it's better than nothing. I was wondering whether anyone had any success using deep-sided plastic storage boxes, I thought I might try one of those to see if he uses it. Are they easy enough to scoop and clean?
If that doesn't work I'm just going to have to have put down vinyl flooring throughout
