Can you place him in the right position on the litter box? I had to do that when my kitty first came home from having surgery because he was a bit disorientated with having an e-collar on him.

You can get a taller larger box and cut and opening in the middle of the long side for him to get in. Boys are good at peeing over the side.

I agree with flygirllaura, get a high-sided storage box, and cut a doorway at the height he needs. Put the doorway on one of the longer sides of the box, as it encourages the cat to turn away from the opening for more space, before doing it's thing. We used the basic Sterilite brand storage boxes, in solid color...it was very easy to cut with a few passes of a sharp box cutter. I have read that the clear/translucent types tend to crack when being cut. Here is a picture of one of ours. You can cut the doorway lower than we did, if needed.

@Burkey and @flygirllaura   Thanks for such a great idea, and thanks @Burkey for posting this photo.  It really makes it clear, how to set it up.
