Does this work for cats who pee in the corners?

This is definitely a question I should have considered before buying mine. My one cat likes to pee in the corner directly above the grate so it does require regular maintenance to clean out that spot or else it will build up where the scoop can't reach. I wouldn't call it a huge dealbreaker, though, just a minor inconvenience and still better than scooping out a normal litter box every day.(Also, I've noticed this problem gets worse if I don't occasionally even out the litter, since the grate tends to push it all forward and leaves those back corners a little low.)

Not very well, I have a cat who pees in corners and along the sides never in the center and I'm constantly having to scrape and scoop the inside the box several times throughout the day, which defeats the purpose of a automatic self cleaning litter box.

Sort of. My cat does everything in the far corner from the scoop. It gets it pretty well but there is sometimes a layer of waste left on the bottom that the scoop doesn't reach.

I have it in a corner. It's not squared-off, so it doesn't really nestle into the spot but it fits ok. It's a little big, but to be honest if it was much smaller my kitty wouldn't use it. It keeps litter scatter down, and the bathroom clean, so it makes ME happy. :-)

This high sided litterbox works best for cats who spray rather than squat when urinating, like my cat. The walls prevent the pee or poop from ending up around the outside of the box...unless your cat hangs their rear end out of the entrance. If your cat is old and missing the box, perhaps he/she has other issues that should be checked out by a qualified veterinarian. I hope this helps you.

Yes. I purchased mine for that reason. To monitor which one of my cats was urinating in inappropriate places.

This litter box solves the "overshoot problem" --mostly. It is possible for the cat to go over the edge in the entryway area only. However, the incidences of this happening are cut way down.

Unless your cat's butt is in the opening, you shouldn't have problem. My cat used to pee over the rim, and this litter box completely eliminated this issue.

Not if you use "clumping" litter. We like it b/c it fits perfectly in the corner:)

I guess it depends on your cat. The idea is to deter further urinating, but it may not deter all cats. I think a lot depends on how soaked the area is as well. I'm only guessing that an area that is really soaked underneath (carpet pad, soil?) is harder to deter than a fresh one. If I were testing the idea, I'd spray the area and let it soak a bit to get rid of the urine odor and then perhaps rinse off the pea gravel to get rid of the Fizzion. Even if you can't smell it anymore, I think your cat could for a while anyway. In my atrium, occasionally a stray sprays one of the outside walls. I spray it down with Fizzion but ,eventually, it gets sprayed again. I guess it depends on your cat. The idea is to deter further urinating, but it may not deter all cats.

I would think so - these pads absorb the pee quickly so the cat shouldn't be stepping in much, if any. Not much difference than using a litter box. Hope this helps...

It seemed to work for my situation. I have one cat that gets "upset" when she thinks the litter box is ready to be cleaned and she will then pee on the carpet underneath a low table in our living room. The urine was sitting long enough for it to dry this time before I caught the smell. I soaked the carpet underneath the table with the entire 32 oz bottle. Since we live in Albuquerque, it only took 24 hours to be completely dry again. The urine smell was gone and I do not notice the cat smelling in that area any longer. From my point of view, it seems to have worked.

Fizzion absolutely does work to remove the pee smell. Perhaps the pee got between the boards and they are still smelling it? I soak the area and wipe it down, then soak it again and let it stand for a while. It might smell worse for a bit, but when it's dry the smell is gone. We have some naughty boys who also like to pee on a few fav. places. Fizzion doesn't say it will stop them from peeing, it says it will clean it up. Dogs pee once and they are done, a cat will remark a spot to be sure other cats know it's "theirs". Very irritating for sure! But all we can do is clean it up and get rid of the stink.

I'm not sure... if you can figure out how to install a higher side on the inside of the litter box (maybe some thin plastic and some e6000 glue), that would be the solution... but if it's not a feasible alternative, maybe this is a bad litter box for your cat. Which is too bad, because we STILL love it. :) I hope you find a solution!!!

It will keep them from peeing on certain spots on carpeting. I don't know about just scratching.

My female also pees standing up. I have a sageking catty corner litter box. We use it without the cover,(she wasn't fond of). She was constantly getting pee stains on the wall. After several weeks of wiping walls down, I decided it was time for "drastic" measures. Put a piece of folded cardboard behind litter box-goes behind 2 sides and is three times as high as box. From this I hang thick plastic, just enough to go over edge of box. Now her pee runs back into box, not on wall. I scoop the litter box, don't use the tray that lifts out.

Yes it will most likely. The sides are made of mesh (so that your pet can see outside the pen), so that might not keep urine inside like a solid fabric would. The bottom is waterproof, but the bottom flap is attached with Velcro, so liquids will run through if the liquids end up along the sides. My cats used to knock into their water bowl inside the pen, and the water would seep through along the edges of the bottom flap.

I have all female cats but one urinates over the side of any regular litter box. I have had no leaks or puddles around this one.

Not high enough. If you have an over-achiever that sprays high, this will only leave a mess. I also have another litter box that is a corner box, same height etc . On both of these boxes if the cat shoot high the urine will leak between the lid and the bottom and go onto your floor. Probably not what you are looking for. This litter box in particular is very frustrating being as it is oval you cannot scoop out the solids in the corners without twisting the scooper in a Houdini fashion. I have gone back to using my $5.00 special of a Rubbermaid or similar lidded storage box. You cut whatever size hole in the side that you want and I also cut a large hole in the lid so the cat would not be claustrophobic. It works well. Bottom line is this particular box is not worth the money in my opinion
