Litter Box Problems

[WELOVESPUPPIES]

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 like that one from PetSmart.
We went to our Walmart and the storage bin selection really stinks at our store. Everything was way to high (just like a regular hooded liter box).
Thumper gets help getting into the box, she can get out on her own.
I havent trusted her to get in by herself (making it on time) since she has had couple accidents. Mom knows her "look & action" of "I gotta pee" which works when your home but NOT when your away LOL

The only concern about puppy pads in front of the box is everyone else using the box has to step on them before entering. Now if everyone just thinks it's a mat we are set. Otherwise, I'm watching for peeing and pooping. Peeing, cant use to many times since it's wet. At least with poop, I can scoop it up right away.

Gotta think on this one a bit.

Would she use a 'step' made out of a 2x4 or something? Lay flat in front of box - no assembly required.

Or cut down a cardboard box to the desired height, line with newspaper or kitty box liner, and add litter.

A step situation might work. Cutting down a cardboard box is a quick fix because after a few uses with 5 cats it will be a pile of wet cardboard. Not to sanitary
