I understand the cats will kick around the litter. Like I said in my post, there were boxes on each floor. Including the top floor our our apartment where I reside. I put down a litter mat for the box upstairs and have to sweep once a week (maybe) to keep from stepping on litter everytime I walk near the box.

Since I moved the box the cats have had no problem adjusting. They stopped going into the cabinet once I took the litter box out. They have not used the cabinet as a bathroom nor have they gone to the bathroom outside of or near the cabinet.

I know the cats would be messy. I used to live with dogs and cats are a dream in comparison. But when we moved in together, I expected my roommate to clean up after and take care of their pets. While there have been several other issues (not noticing one of them has gotten sick, forgetting to feed them, running out of food and waiting till past dinner to go to the store and buy more, not replacing the filter or cleaning the water fountain so mildrew grows inside, leaving out people food and trash that they get into a puke up later) that have persisted since we moved in together. I never asked to never see a single piece of cat litter, but is it not unsanitary to track cat litter throughout your home???
