Extremely complicated question about ground fabric under sandbox

Maybe a matter of taste or maybe there's a right answer, but the kids have gone to bed, so has the wife, I'm done with the day and now I want to indulge by complicating simple things :D I have a wooden sandbox - just walls and a lid (no bottom) that I've buried in the garden. I've placed a landscape fabric under the box. I was just about to cut the edges of the fabric sticking out when I started to wonder if I've really done it right. So, I've laid the fabric as shown in image 1 below. The fabric is outside the sandbox. I thought it was better than image 2 where grass and other things might get between the fabric and the box. And the landscape fabric is there precisely to prevent plants from getting into the box and sand from going into the soil. But the question is whether the fabric should rather block sand from getting under the box, which doesn't happen in 1. If you sit/walk on the box, it might shift so that a little sand at a time ends up between the box and the fabric and then you have sand on the sides and the box pushes upwards, if you know what I mean. Still in the fabric but on the outside of the box. Probably doesn't really matter how I do it because the sandbox was cheap and it's not the end of the world if it needs to be torn down/replaced later on. Is there a correct way, how would you do it or have you done it? Landscape fabric inside or outside the sandbox? 1 or 2?

What, does that apply to the cat poop too? That it comes from above?

Well, cat poop tends to just appear. Maybe it grows in the sand perhaps
