Dave, every cat I have ever had did that. I have one word for it
STUPID. Cats are pretty, loving, cunning, and a bit dim. Be glad you
have a devoted box user. My cat and I had 4 years or quarrels over
the proper use of a bed as a sleeping area, not a latrine. (I bought
a bed to our mutual liking and she decided that sleeping in it was
more fun than pissing on it)

I have a cat box that is covered all over (a BOX all around). She
cannot kick the gravel all over the floor. She still paws out the
opening on the linoleum and the wall. They want a LOT of sand. They
want clean feet and clean sand. In their teeny little brains, they
are out in the Nile delta (where they came from). Lots of sand there.

They want a larger box. To save the carpet, put a big plywood or lucite
board under the commode. Its easier to clean.

It is really no big deal.. Don't worry about it
