That picture is not my cat, but I can wish. My old cat, Wiz, is the best cat in the world. She always uses her litter. If she had a lid, she would put it down. She is a lady.
Her litter pan is the kind with a lid and a little flappy door. She has privacy that way. No beagles can surprise her with a cold nose while she is reading the newspaper. I use clay litter, and a liner. Easy clean up. The problem?
Poor Wiz must hang her bum out the door or something. There is always a puddle under the pan that is obviously not water. I don't know how she does this. She might pee standing up. Maybe she has arthritis now and can't get in a more appropriate position. I don't know. She does not go on the floor. This is in my laundry room, off the kitchen.
Does anyone else have this problem? If so, how do you solve it? It's not like I have any hopes of retraining her. I was never able to teach my daughter to put the lid down. I used to charge her ten cents every time she left it up. Wiz doesn't have any money, anyway.

I had a horse that used to hang his butt over this water bucker to poop in it.
Is Wiz a big cat? I know when my cats
got larger, they had a problem with the
cat litter pan with the lid on it. They would
go into it, and couldnt turn around well, so
we started having accidents. Poop on the
outside of the pan, that obviously was just
because they couldnt get all the way inside.
I finally took the lid off, and I've had no
other problems.

LOL at the below answer..hehehehe. Well, just be glad she's a kit and not a horse...MERCY!
When my cat, Odie Bodine, developed problems with a urninary tract infection, she would stand in the box and somehow still spray the wall. Once I took her to the vet for something else (a bee sting) and mentioned it, he checked her out, gave her anibiotics and she began to hit the box again....
Yes, Suzy, I have this problem. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I have it. The cat is always in my way when I have to go, so to avoid wetting his fur, I try to pee off to one side. I usually miss the litterbox altogether.
Uh oh, this sounds familiar. I've got a cat that does the same thing. The only thing that helped was getting one of those boxes that has the little step-grate thing just inside. Since it's not a solid surface, they don't like standing on it. That way the cat goes farther into the box to pee. ¤Holly
