Cat urinates on his back paws; what should I do?

Pets Asked on June 10, 2021

I have two cats, the bigger-sized of whom often (once every two days) pees on his back paws.

Upon inspection, this doesn’t seem to be his fault — he’s using the litter and litter box properly, but because he pees so much every time, the urine tends to "stream down" into where his back paw stands.

At first, I thought it was because the litter box is too small since he’s the bigger one, so I upsized it to the biggest one I can get from Amazon, but this still happens.

Is there anything that I can do about this? Thanks in advance. 🙂

One Answer

I'd suggest to try much bigger boxes, we are not using commercially available litterboxes as even the large ones tend to be somewhat small, but instead use those plastic under-the-bed containers you can put your blankets in.

Those are about 50x90 centimeters (20x35 inches), and even the largest cats can use them comfortably with a lot of room to spare.

You'll need a lot of litter to initially fill them, think at least a full large bag, but the cats absolutely love them.

The more space they have to dig their little hole, the less likely any accidents are.
