my relatively new rescue cat Rory has developed bad toilet habits in the last week. He's been toileting fine up to recently (eg always in the box), but now seems rather slap dash, sometimes good, sometimes a complete miss.
When he goes well, he seems to want to pee on the front edge of the tray where there isn't any litter. Which is annoying as it leaves a puddle, rather than a clump. This can't be hygienic as he must be walking in his wee as he exits the box

We have 2 litter trays, only used by him as big brother goes out for his business. He's never hassled by BB when he goes, I'm here to keep an eye on things. The trays are different, one a conventional closed box, with low-ish sides. The other open and high sided, about 20cm on the deep end and about 10cm on the low end. He seems to prefer going on the shallow end of this box, but with his bum hanging out. I can hear him scatting around in the litter, but the numpty has him bum over the edge

Litter: Trying two different types, larger flakes non clumping and very fine grain clumping. Neither makes a difference.
Health: He's been to the vet, no issues.
No disturbance from me, or the family, or BB cat when he goes.
What can I do? Buy a very deep (all around deep) box, so that he can't hang his bum over the edge?

Thanks

PS He's locked inside for the next 4 weeks while his leuko vaccine takes effect...only to be let out once he's had his booster. So stuck in for now.
