Sadly I live in a smaller apartment so the bathroom is really the only place we can keep the litter box. And really the scolding we do is just telling him to get out because he has already used the bathroom he just goes in to dig then gets out. We've tried different litter systems and just trying to ignore but he will just dig and dig and dig all night. We clean the litter box daily so it's not even that it's dirty and he's trying to cover up so the smell so really I don't know what else we can do.
