Many litter box problems in cats are caused by the litter tray setup rather than behaviour.
As a veterinarian after 20 years of practice listening to clients questions I decided to publish a vet recommended cat litter products list. These are the types of litter products I commonly recommend to cat owners.
Choosing the right litter tray, litter, and mat can prevent many litter box problems and make life easier for both cats and owners.

Large Open Litter Trays
Large uncovered litter trays allow cats to turn comfortably and reduce litter box aversion.

My picks:

Soft Clumping Cat Litter

Clumping litter also makes daily cleaning easier and helps control odour.
My picks:

This keeps floors cleaner and reduces mess around the litter area.
