cats who pee standing up... my 2 year old female feels the need to be a bit dominant...she pees standing up and makes a huge mess of things...it's not a matter of spraying, we have a male cat in the household who has that area covered...she does spray...

One of our cats does the same thing - we tried covered boxes but the urine just ran down from the side of the top and gathered in the capilary space between the lid and bottom part of the box. The only we have found to work is 18 GAL Roughneck Totes by Rubbermaid. They are 24 x 16 (like a regular litter box) but even on her best tail pumping days, our female cat can only get to within a half inch of top the the 16.5" tall side walls. I am considering this box but am concerned that the pee will run down the wall and collect where the lid and bottom come together. Did you have any luck with this product and your cat?

I would say no. I knew where my cat had peed and it did not even pick it up. It was not worth the money.

I have this litter box inside of the cat washroom/end table and so far, they have not peed over the top. The male usually peed up to the top of a covered box I had but he seems to keep it inside this one so far. It might be that having the litter box inside another "box" helps him to keep it down a little. :-)

The queen has not attempted this, she enjoys the very roomy interior, the opening of the litter box is a bit like a curved scoop, it looks like if she did attempt to try to pee over the edge that it would go back into her box. I hope that this helps. - Dante the humble cat servant....

I have not had this issue with my female 10 lb 8 year old cat. She usually pees(#1) just at the entrance and does her #2 in the back of the box. I have two boxes for her and most of the time, she uses one for peeing (#!) and the other one for #2. I clean the boxes every night. I failed to do so one time and I noticed that she had peed on the side. I am not sure if she did this because she felt the box/litter was dirty. Despite the peeing on the side of the box this one time, I did not notice any leakage however I always put a large towel under the box to catch any litters in her paws and in case there is a leakage (I have wood floors).

Yes, my cat does and she is on the small size. In the beginning she had a little bit of an issue but I think she has figured it out.

Nope! Look for some videos of toilet trained cats; most perch in such a way that everything is directed down, nice and neat! I clean the toilet once a week with no issue.

It may help, I used for spraying along with the cat pheromone product plug-in's next to the area that he sprays. The main thing is get to the reason he is spraying. We added another liter box which also helps but honestly it still happens from time to time.

oh, I wish you had posted an update! I'm wondering how things turned out.Did cats get used to the ScoopFree?More experiments to entice the cats to adapt?And, to be sure, some cats are just picky, determined, and don't adapt.

I purchased the Omega Paw litter box but did not change brand of litter and I"m haveing trouble with my male cat using it...He had never voided on the floor until now. So I question the fact of the litter..but question if it is the design on the box..My female seems not to have a problem with it....boys will be boys .....HaHa

Hey Michael, I had this exact problem with my cat. He was peeing on my couch, bed, rugs, etc. He has had some slip ups since I got this litter box, but they are significantly reduced. Having this one plus my old regular litter box (which I try to shovel out every time I notice he's used it) seem to work pretty well. He seems to pee outside of the litter box most when I'm not doing as good of a job cleaning out the original box. Hope this helps! It's been really helpful for me.

I have used this on two of my cats. One is a jealous bully and was terrorizing the other. I also had some inappropriate "peeing" but never knew which one it was. I put a collar on each cat and saw some improvement, though the problem did not abate completely. I can definitely tell when its time to change the collar. I have also had luck with the plug-in pheremones, but discontinued them when I learned that the plug-in air devices have a tendency to fail and can be a fire hazard.

It's pretty big for cats, but if your cat likes to knock over water bowls, it might do the trick. My old cat used to like to play with water. I got him a cat water fountain. The noise from the motor intimidated him enough that he didn't want to play with the water, but would still drink. Plus, you get the added benefit of giving your cat constant clean water. So, if they're finicky like mine was, they'll like that.

Yes, one of my female kitties does the same thing and this box, so far, has kept all the pee where it is supposed to be. :)

I think it depends on the cat. Mine is terrified of these things, so one good spray and he'll stay away for good. I find even putting one where I don't want him to go and leaving it off is deterrent enough. And when I catch him doing something he shouldn't be, I just have to walk up with one in hand and he scampers off.

Not on mine. My cats pee and potty near the opening at the front. Love this thing!!!

I know this is going to be an odd answer - but our lovely cat doesn't like when dad is out of town, well her way of expressing her displeasure is by peeing on his side of the bed during the night. The few times she has done it we have had nothing soak thru to the mattress itself.
