Why does my cat always make a mess pulling litter from the box?

Question

My cat, Freya, is about 3.5 years old. She has always been confident in our house. Freya always make litter fly out of her litter box. At first she had a small litter box so we got her a bigger litter box but we still found litter everywhere. Then we got a litter box with a lid. Later we found Freya pulling litter out of the litter box with her paw. We are using the same litter the adoption center used before we got her. Does Freya just not like her litter?

Freya may just be playing in the box. You may try making her a litter box out of a large rubbermaid container. Leave the top open and you may cut the hole a little higher than the litter line to see if this helps. Give her plenty of play time every day as well to see if that helps. Best of luck.
