How can I keep cat litter from getting everywhere? I have three cats, but I only use two litter boxes because that seems to be enough. I've tried all sorts of tricks to keep the litter from getting everywhere, but they never work! I had these litter boxes that were literally boxes with holes on the top, and they worked amazingly well, until the boxes started to smell like cat pee, even when the litter was clean. I couldn't scrub out the boxes everyday, so I went back to using old litter boxes. I try to put towels or mats under the litter boxes, but my cats pee on them because they start to smell like litter... I have wood floor and no matter what kind of litter I use, it gets on the floor and scratches it up! The latest thing I've tried has been to put the litter box in a bigger storage box, but the storage box isn't the best size and litter still gets everywhere! Does anyone have suggestions? Also, please don't tell me to do something like vacuum everyday or to wash the mats. :P So sorry! I forgot to say that I've actually gotten TWO auto cleaning litter boxes, but they scare my cats! And my cats are inside cats. D:
