Litter Boxes
Make sure your cat can easily step into any box, turn around, and dig. Box should be no smaller than 22” in length. In some cases, it can be helpful to have higher than regular walls.
Ease’s Top Pick is a Rubbermaid Storage Container (choose the large 23.5” x 18.62” x 12.25” size). This option has a high wall to allow for marking in the box. Take the lid off and cut an entry port – see arrow for guidance:
Other Good Litter Box Options:
TownTime Extra Large Litter Box with High Sides (25.27 x 17.83 x 13.11)
Petmate Giant Litter Pan (25.65 x 18.3 x 10.02 in)
KittyGoHere Senior Cat Litter Box (24 x 20 x 5 in)
So Phresh High Back Cat Litter Box (24 x 18 x 10 in)

Splash Guards
Contain urine with waterproof guards in problematic areas. Observe your cat’s behavior to make sure the guard doesn’t discourage litter box use.

Minimize Stress
Use tools to reduce your cat’s potential stressors. To start, don’t let your cat see or smell neighborhood cats. This can lead to marking exits to establish territory. In multi-cat households, separate feuding cats comfortably.
