They also sell dog litter pans which have a lower front....

I like that dog one too. Dont have a Petco near us but we do have PetSmart. Next time we go up north we will have to check there, unfortunately our PetSmart is 28 miles one way

You can order right on line from PETCO or PETSMART.com also carries them(I think they also do online orders).

Laura,
Do you put litter on the pad so she knows it's ok to potty on that pad?
Inorder to get her used to the pad, would I go ahead put Thumper on the pad when I know she has to go?

I have done well with the plastic freezer boxes that you can get from most grocery stores.
They are great for mistakes and are easy to keep clean. The Ones I get are about 2 x 4 feet.

I recently added 3 more litterboxes for my cats because I was having peeing problems. I tried the lower open boxes with the framed sides but the cats would pee over the top of them.

I then went to Petsmart and bought an open box with very high sides but the entrance is very low so even senior cats cat use it without any problems. Storm loves them. Here's the link: Petsmart Litterboxes.

I have also been putting the puppy training pads behind and in front of the litterboxes to catch help catch accidents and litter spills. You shouldn't need to put litter on them first.Thumper will hopefully figure it out and just pee on it. I think that they come with a special scent to them. Good luck.

I use the pads outside the litter box for Amy and none of the other "girls" have ever used them. I find they are very handy for keeping the tracked litter off of the floor also. Amy just can't judge how bad she has to go verses how many time she will fall over and sometimes she don't even try to go in the box, preferring to use the pads. I'd try the puppy pads if I were you.
