My 13.11 month old blind in both eyes cat (Angel). Urinates OVER the litter box sides?! I don't think she is aware that her back end hangs over the box. It is gross and is starting to develop a smell (even though I clean it up immediately but some times I can not, like when I'm at work). I am trying to sell this house soon and I do not want any odor.

Suggestions? I am looking for a high sided litter box but it needs to be easy access as she is old. Thanks!

What about putting puppy training pads under the litter box?

The puppy piddle pads is a great idea.  If that isn't going to suit your purposes, Petsmart usually has the xx-large litterboxes (usually black in color), with the front entry normally low.  Also, you can check your local Target or Walmart and pick up a large rubbermaid container and cut out the front entry yourself using a utility knife - but please use a piece of fine grit sandpaper to smooth all cut edges. Also thoroughly clean with soap and water before use so it doesn't smell like rubber to your kitty.

Your kitty might be standing up to urinate because she might have arthritis, please discuss that with your vet.
