Lately I've been dealing with a pee mystery around the cat box. It appears that some cat is perching on the edge of the box, thinking they are fully in, and then just letting it rip all over the floor.
At first I suspected the fat orange cat, because this really seems like the kind of dumbass stunt he'd pull. He's the gentlest, most friendly cat you'll ever meet, but unfortunately it seems that the good lord did not see fit to bless him with very many brains. Previously I've had to put down moisture detector alarms in the corners where he'd sneak off to go pee, to try to annoy him into knocking that shit off.
Finally I got fed up with cleaning up cat pee every doggone day, so I set up a motion sensor camera to catch the perpetrator in the act, and to my surprise it wasn't Big Orange, but the 18-year-old super senior cat that's completely deaf and is either going senile or simply has no fucks left to give at this stage in her life.
So now I'm trying to engineer a solution that doesn't involve me cleaning the litterbox mat and the floor every single day. For now I'm going to just put down some puppy training pads to catch whatever doesn't make it into the box, but I'd like to figure out some kind of design solution that would prevent her from perching directly on the edge of the box.
I feel like I'm Matt Damon and this cat box is my Mars.
