My cat tracks litter everywhere. How can I stop her paw wiping?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 year and 10 months old | 6 lbs

My cat wipes her feet for a really long time after getting out the litter box. She also gets it all over the floor around the litter box. What can I do to change those things?

You most likely cannot change to habits of LB in the litter box but you could invest in a litter box with a lid or higher sides. This will help keep the litter inside the box and less messy. Hope that helps
