My cat pees out of the litter box opening. How can I stop it?

Question

I have 2 covered boxes for my 2 cats. She has been in the box to pee and just pees straight out of the opening of the box, usually after my male uses it. It has happened 3 times now and I'm getting frustrated. What could be causing her to not spray in the box? Can I prevent it? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 10 lbs

This is a problem often encounter by cat owners. I recommend to make your own litter box. Sometimes it’s not always spraying, some cats do urinate standing up. Get a Rubbermaid container that is tall enough that she cannot urinate over the side. Cut a hole in it that is high enough that it seems unlikely that she will urinate out of the opening. To keep things even cleaner, place a puppy pee pad outside of the opening just in case some urine does come out. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
