Hi! Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ve done some searching and haven't found any posts with exactly the same problem as me (so the replies, if any, wouldn't really apply to me).
Anyway, I really have 2 problems, which are both starting to get very annoying.
First, the title says it all. My cat recently has been going pee, in her litter box like normal, but lately when she does it her rear end will be hanging out of the box, or partly out. This results in either all the urine going on my floor or urine on the floor, on the litter box, and in the box. Does anyone ideas on how to fix this?
Second, this has happened ever since I switched to clumping litter (I switched because sheâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s getting older, and far pickier with her box, and it has to be cleaned at least once a day or she will go somewhere else). I love the clumping litter, but it seems to have an apparent down fall, which is when she pees around the edges, the litter wonâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t fully harden and stays soft and sticky, and sticks to the side of the litter box. Also, it will stick to anything it comes in contact with that wonâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t absorb moisture, meaning my hands and the scooper alike. This is very annoying as you can see. I have seen some people recommending that people spray their box with Pam but I *think* that's if the litter is sticking to the bottom of the pan, which isn't the case. I wouldn't want to spray Pam on the side and let it dry because believe it or not oil tends to get sticky as it dries (for example, ever handle an older half used bottle of cooking oil? it gets sticky on the outside and collects dirt and hair and all that good stuff).
As far as that problem I am thinking of lining the pan with newspaper or maybe tin foil, does anyone else have any suggestions?
Thanks!
