Another Halfway to the box Problem by: David Patrick
I have an older cat doing the same thing as Ken's. Two feet in and all over the floor. It's only with urination, as she has a routine of getting in the box and turning around a few times before defecating. But the pee on the floor is really a problem. She still jumps onto the bed (with footstool help, but she's not so infirm that she can't lift her back legs over a box rim). Her general health and appetite are great, even though she's a few months shy of 20, so it's difficult to think of euthenasia at this point. I just wanted to post this to say that it's interesting to see someone else has the same problem... just wish we could both get it solved! Thanx.

You're Not Alone in This... by: Anonymous
My oldest cat, Jake, has started displaying this behavior as well. It's a big boy at about 16.5 yeas. I tried a new, taller box thinking he would know when he's in, but no luck. Poop's no problem but for the past 2 months... I've gone through a LOT of vinyl gloves. Should I have gone with a lower box?
