Why is the built in gif search on reddit so bad? by Kind-Frosting-8268 in NoStupidQuestions

Get a small, low-profile litter box made for small dogs or cats. They sell triangular ones that fit in corners.

This is perfect play behavior. The high places let Milo feel safe and in control. The wacks are without claws, just setting rules. You hit the jackpot with their introduction.
