When I adopted my almost 5 year old female last October, they'd warned me she is thorough in covering her 'creations' in the litter box. They suggested a high-sided box and, after just one day with the box I'd prepared before adoption, I got one with high-sides. I also put it on a litter mat to help remove litter from her feet before walking on the laminate wood floor.
Ummm...she is VERY thorough. So much litter was still ending up outside the box that I got a tray to put the box on. [Think like a boot tray, but much larger.] Then I got a small whisk broom with pan to sweep from the tray daily to help avoid tracking.
The clumps are almost always in the corners, generally the ones by the box entrance. She is a medium-sized cat, NOT huge; somewhat overweight at 13 lbs, vs. the 10 she should be. So, it isn't like she is crowded in the box.
I suppose I should be grateful that she uses the box and has not gone outside of it. [I scoop twice a day and clean every 3-4 weeks.]
