My Maine Coon is a 20 lb monster. I have an extra large litter box with a cover. He enters the litter box and doesn't turn around and sprays urine outside of the box and then he gets out of the box and puts his front paws back in and digs litter out all over the floor to try to cover up his mess. Any suggestions on helping him figure out he needs to turn around?!? I have seen the Booda litter box that has stairs and then turns but it just doesn't seem big enough inside, maybe I'm wrong but he is soooo big! Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I hadn't thought of using a storage tub and cutting it. The only problem with that would be no liner, which I really like to use.
As far as "spraying" that is not what he is doing. He is going into his box to urinate, just not getting himself in there properly so it is coming out the opening of the box. He doesn't use the floor, unfortunately that is just where it lands when he is inside the box.
Also, he is not overweight. According to his vet this breed is a large breed. He has extremly large paws and stands atleast 2" taller than my other cat which always was big to me at 15 lbs. The vet told me he was at ideal weight.
There is a a large storage tub already designed just for that. It has a whole cut in the top for top entry. If you search goggle or ebay and find them for around $30... they have liners to fit also. They are called cleaver cat top entry litter box. Hope this helps:)

Humane Society experiencing increase of animals, decrease in donations
22.09.11
A release agency was set to pick them up later in the afternoon, freeing up the spaciousness the 2 1/2-week-old kittens would have occupied for about six weeks for other animals.
Expanse is important to shelters like the one operated by the Humane High society that take in any animal brought to them. With the economic downturn, the local asylum has seen more animals coming in its doors but fewer donations to yield care.
Income at the shelter is down $16,000 from the $573,913 sedate by this time last year, Brown said, and donations are down $72,000 from the $197,423 comfortable by this time last year.
The tightening budget has prompted a contraction in some staff hours, including that of Executive Director Alan Allert, who's working on a part-pass basis.
As a nonprofit, the Humane Society relies on proficient will and donations to cover about 85 percent of its $1 million budget. Brown said it costs about $7,000 a week to conduct the shelter. In 2010, total expenses for the cover were $941,333.
Cat Hit by Car Braves Cold to Crawl Home on Broken Legs - Paw Nation
by Helena Sung
Last month, we told you the story of Giggle-Blizzard, a cat in Florida who was missing for two weeks and dragged himself home on two shattered hind legs after being hit by a car . This time, the harrowing tale involves Paddy Paws, an eight-month-old kitten in Carlisle, England who'd been missing for a week , reports the (U.K.) News & Star. Still, Paddy Paws was alive and back at home. He now awaits surgery for his hind legs as his family struggles to afford his veterinary bills, which amount to more than $1,600. (By contrast, Giggle-Blizzard, the cat in Florida in a similar situation will rack up an estimated $3,000 in vet bills and will spend a full month with both legs in a cast.)
HELLOOOOO....don't let your cats outside! Period! It is dangerous for them and expensive for the people who are supposed to be "caring" for them. My cats are happy housecats, even living with our dogs. They don't want to be outside with other animals, cars, mean people, etc. It is irresponsible to let your cats outside and take veterinarians time away from other animals that need care. It is really irresponsible when your cats are not spayed or neutered. You are not caring for your cats if you let them outside. Would you let your little kids run out in the road or have to fight off dangerous animals or bad people alone? My animals are a part of my family and I treat them that way. If you cannot care for animals responsibly you should not have them, kids too!
Yes, by all means, keep your cats indoors!
I do have a friend living in Northern Ireland that lets her cats out but they do live in a rural area on a lot of acreage.
Still, this woman lost one cat already and says her family can't afford the vet bills and has not figured out that she should keep the cats indoors.
They need to take responsibility for the animals and get that cat the surgery it needs, for heaven's sake.
No matter how badly a cat wants to go outside, keep it in. There are...
