>>>The covered box preference. <<< Maybe I confused things Nina. He did often use the cement open container. He just used it so near the edge that it was like he wasn't using it at all.
He does that with the covered boxes too. I have to wipe around the inside edges a lot when i'm cleaning! Good point--he may well prefer a sentry----because he's scared the others may do to him what he does to them! For he is also the only cat that terrorizes the others by standing right outside the box when they're using it. I tell him off for that and pick him up/move him if I can get to him in time. I'll have a look at Office Max/Depot---they're quite near me. Thanks!

I was thinking about the way Tiger used to wait for you to get home to eliminate. I know from watching the ferals, and from my bottle babies, that some cats prefer to have a "sentry" on guard while they defecate, or eat. Someone watching their back. Maybe it wasn't "over excitement" at all, maybe he just wanted his wing man present when he was in a vulnerable position :) . I got the hinged topped storage crates at Costco. I think they may have them at Office Depot, or Office Max too.
