My new cat seems to REALLY enjoy hanging out in one of the litter boxes - and not just hang out there, but he scratches, then pounces, then crouches and "hides" - jumps out, then back in - then DIGS with both front paws synchronized and throwing *huge* amounts of litter behind him.
The box he's chosen to do this in has rather high sides (was a covered box, but I took that off a long time ago) and isn't used very much by the new cat, or by the resident cat. But it is used occasionally, so it does...well, sometimes have stuff in it WHILE he's playing.
When I first got him, he did spend several minutes rolling around in his new litter box, so this is the second fun litter box thing he's doing. There's litter everywhere!
What, if anything, can I do to discourage his litter box play?
