My cat throws litter everywhere when covering up but no more newspaper under and around this litter box.  My cat wouldn't go near it at first so I had to put some dirty litter in it and it worked, she loves it now that shes figured out what it is.  It's a little bigger than I expected but since it's so stylish most dont even know it's a litter box.  I've have also noticed that it contains the smell better than an open box.
