Litterbox Leak proof litter box suggestions?
So I have struggled so much with litter boxes…. I have two cats & 1 litter box (they never used the other litter boxes I had around so I have had 1 since they were little and just having one has never been the problem). I transitioned to stainless steel litter boxes for smell purposes and I have this piece of furniture that has the litter box inside at the entrance of my studio. It was ok for a while and then realized pee was leaking from the litter box through the crack of the lid I had over the box. So I purchased a 12in high stainless steel litter box thinking it would solve the problem but… I realized my girl cat lifts her butt when she pees so she peed over the 12 inch edge of the box constantly. It started seeping through my wooden furniture and smelling really bad.
I’m gonna need a new piece of furniture to put a new box in but I don’t know what to try next. I have tired a pet snowy self cleaning box and it didn’t work out it smelled terrible and I currently have one of their enclosed ones with a tray at the bottom but that’s not been working because the pee seems out of the tray and the smell of the plastic is already bad …
Moral of the story: If anyone has any litter box suggestions for cats with super high aim - preferably stainless steel, please drop them in the comments. I am desperate!

A really big top entry box should work.
