Oh, my, yes.  It's very common.  We keep a sheet of newspaper spread
out in front of the box, and fortunately our pair seem to prefer that
"toilet paper" to the wood floor.

A crumpled towel or blanket often works very well, making the spot
look like a better bed than bathroom.  As a last resort, a food dish
might help.
