Pets

50+ years of marriage. We have used different strategies depending on the cat. We have used a big heavy, sturdy grey storage tubs, (with out the lids) if the cat was able to jump into the storage tub. We have also turned a bathroom bathtub, plugging the drain, tarps lining the tub and duct taped into place, so it wouldn't mess up our plumbing. Both systems have worked for cats who missed the litter box. Their age, health and if they were born feral can affect their litter box usage. All of our cats were rescues, thank goodness for clumping litter. We now have one 16 year cat (feral) who uses her automatic litter maid cat box, with no problem. Her sister, who passed 2 years ago, wouldn't go near it. Both rescued from the gutter, just barely able to crawl, eyes barely opened. Daily cleaning of their box helps, because they don't want to step on their poop or pee to go potty. Good luck.
