Things You'll Need
- Pellet-based litter
- Plastic mat
- Thick rug or towel
- Scissors
Instructions
Fill a large cat litter box 3 to 4 inches deep with a pellet-based litter. Pellets are less likely than clumping litter to wedge between a cat's paws.
Reduce the amount of surface area the cat uses around the litter box. Position the box so that it only has one entrance and exit.
Place a plastic mat, a thick rug or towel directly under the exit point to catch loose litter before it gets tracked any further. Consider purchasing or making a ribbed matted ramp specifically designed for a cat exiting the litter box.
Trim the long hairs around the cat's paws with scissors.
