  The previous solutions are good ones.  Is the cat young?  I know our cats were able to jump over gates that weren't super high.  You could possibly block just the box itself with enough room for the cat to jump over to get to it.  This obviously won't work if the kitty is old or can't jump well. 
  
  You can also just try the frustrating method of repetition and hope that eventually the baby "gets" it.  We had that problem not with the litter boxes, but the cat food and water bowls and it was annoying to constantly have to redirect and say "no" but my son eventually understood that those were off limits. 

  Good luck!

  I would try a lid that has a door.  You can get them for under $20.  It kept our dog out of the cat box, so maybe it would work for a baby too.

  Thanks, those were all good suggestions.  Our cats are older (9 years and 11 years) so gates aren't really a good idea.  And like I said, if we put up a gate, it would also block our toddler from going in her playroom.  I like the idea of getting a box with a lid.  We tried it awhile ago and my cat hated it and would pee on random things because she did not like the cover, but maybe I will try again just in case she has stopped being a P.I.T.A!!  HAHA
