Hi... I have 3 cats and I use a big storage bin as my litter box. It messures 21"x15" and is 9" deep. The problem I have is when they jump out of the box, litter follows and goes all over the floor. I put a carpet in front of the box but the litter shows and looks terrible. Right now I just sweep the area 20 times a day. I cannot have one of those covered boxes as 2 of my cats are too big for them. Any suggestions?
THANKS!!

LH that is awesome!
I'm going to order the Catty Corner Litter Box and soft pad. It's big enough and looks great. I can put it in the corner of my office. Thank you so very much!!!
Much thanks to all who replied, all your answers were great!!
Have a great weekend!

I keep one of my litter boxes in one of those plastic under-bed storage boxes, so when the cats exit the litter box, they're still in a plastic box for a few steps. I put one of those litter mats outside the door of the litter box and that lets them walk it off before they get onto my carpet.
For my other litter box, I have a Catty Corner box - it's probably just about perfect for your larger cats. It's too big to fit in one of those underbed boxes, but I got a Litter Buster mat that works really well - it's a plastic mat with what looks like plastic astro-turf. They seem to track all the litter on their paws onto that, not on the carpet.
Here are links to the things I'm talking about.

They make mats to go under the litter boxes,don't know if one will do the trick though. Haven't tried them myself,my kitten does the same thing. A covered box did HELP,but didn't fix the problem entirely.

There are special products at pet stores that are specially designed to catch the litter. It scrapes it off their feet and holds it there. It might do better than the carpet if you're willing to shell out a couple bucks.
Here's a link to an example at PetSmart...

Get a little box with housing around it.
