Ever since we adopted our cat, she always has peed on the edge of the litterbox. This was ongoing for 6 years. On a whim, I bought finer litter and she stopped this behaviour immediately. Just thought I’d share.

Yeah. Throw litterboxes away, buy a general storage box that's much taller and wider, problem solved. Ours is about 18" x 24" and 6" deep, only needs a thin layer of litter in the bottom, all cats happy. Probably cheaper than a dedicated litter tray, too.

I do the same but add a stainless steel litterbox in the bottom of the large bin so nothing sticks.

Just cut a hole in the side so your cats don't have to jump high to get in.

That's a really good solution and I'm a little pissed it never occurred to me you could just do that

Like a plastic box? Do you have a pic of it for reference?
