So for the last few weeks Ive had problems with my cats scratching all the litter out of there litter boxes like literally taking the cat litter out leaving quite a mess. Maple would roll in it like she does in dirt, anyone else had this problem and what have they done I have brought a covered litter tray to try that

Has there been any change in the litter recently?  Most cats do not like the covered litter boxes, but instead prefer more space.  I use a Sterlite (similar to rubbermaid) container that is about 18-22inches long.  I also make sure the litter is 2-3 inches deep.  Also to help with litter that is scattered about, make sure you have a litter attract mat under or beside the box.

How many kitties do you have?  The golden rule is to have one litter box for each kitty and sometimes one more.  I have 2 indoor cats and 3 litter boxes.  If you have more than one cat, one cat may be staking claim on the box.  Get another litter box.

I had 3 litter trays for my 2 cats, there cat litter hasn't changed but I do have the grip may just at the door to the litter cupboard, I brought a covered litter box but am not using the flap and they actually seem to love it and I'm going to get a 2nd one, I think the reason they like it because now they can't annoy eachother while the other is in the toilet
