PricklyPaw, Ack! I feel your pain
I scoop at least five times a day or basically whenever I see anything in the box. Two of my cats have an annoying habit. I scoop and then as soon as I announce 'OK fresh box, guys' and leave the room, one of them will immediately go and poop. So then I have to get the rake out again....it's gotten to the point that I don't even seal my little waste bag until I get the soon-to-be-taken poop. I've tried stealth scooping but they can still hear me. I guess I would prefer to go in a fresh box, too.
I have an extreme kicker, also. Litter everywhere and it gets in the bed! I vacuum twice a day. At least she covers it and she will actually dig up, inspect, and re-bury the business of the other cats. She's a weirdo, but we love her Coincidentally, her name is Pooper, but she was named well before we realized her strange obsession. She follows everyone to the box and basically stalks them so she can inspect their poop. This causes one of our other cats to shoot out of the box like she's been fired from a cannon, flinging copious amounts of litter in her wake. To balance it out, and possibly to entertain Pooper, one cat doesn't bury anything and I think it offends the others. Five cats, three litter boxes and they all go in the same one. Then my male cat will balance on the edge of the box and pee on the mat because he won't disdain to tread where his sisters have gone...arg. Use one of the other, fresh, untouched boxes buddy! Nope. Well, thanks for letting me vent a bit, I gotta go scoop, rescoop and run the vacuum.
