Try this instead-

First, go out and get one of those big Rubbermaid storage containers.
Get one that is about the same dimensions as your litterbox, but the
sides will be much higher on it. Don't put more than 2-3 inches of
litter into the box. That eliminates the spilling/tossing.

Next, get one of those big black rubber mats with the little nubs on
them that people use in their mud rooms. Put it under the litterbox.
The litter on their paws gets trapped there instead of getting
dragged.

(If you have multiple boxes, get multiple containers/mats, of
course.)

I've found that the amount of litter I see outside the mat/box combo
is about 99.9% less than before I started using this combination.

If you're sick and tired of cleaning up cat messes, wait until you have
kids! :c)

I have no kids and my cat does her business outside on most days, so I have
no complaints.
