Catit Airsift Jumbo Hooded Litter Pan, Warm Gray/White - Privacy and Easy Access for Cleaning - Ideal for Larger or Multiple Cat Households

Big enough for larger ( or fat ones! Lol) cats but no so big that it takes up a lot of room. I work with my local VSA & sometimes would take in kittens, cats when the shelter was full. Someone told me that the large plastic storage bins ( Walmart , target $10) without the lid, make good large cat boxes & no litter gets out! We got the clear ones & they did work well. Cats jumped right in & out no problem. Well , my cat has got a few years older & a lot fatter! The vet said it's genetic & she's predisposed to be heavy (?) , so wet grain free food diet etc. but she couldn't jump into those bins any longer! I looked at some litter boxes in the pet stores & they were cheaply made yet not cheap in price. I saw this one & gave it a try! Wow , it's great! Very sturdy & well made. The hole is wide enough for my very fat cat to get in & out easily. The top lifts for easy scooping without having to remove the whole top & unlock the sides, which is very convenient . It has a carbon filter for smells that's cheap to replace. If your cat has never had a hooded box before, the top of this lifts up & will stay up ( as I said to scoop easily) & it makes it more OPEN for cats to get use to the hood. I had no problems with any getting right in it. I went to a pets supply that I go to when I can't get my Amazon stuff as quickly as I need it, & they had this same litter box- $49.99 ! They had a smaller sized one of this that was $38 . I couldn't believe it! I bought 2 more when I got home. They are easy to clean & the litter doesn't stick to the bottom of this one, sometimes I would have sludge like spots on the bottom that were so hard to scrape off ! I clean them each day ( scoop out & wash weekly), I think it may be the litter I used? I use Dr. Elsely's litter in Blue bag 40lb for about $14 & these boxes are great! Cut down on the stinky smells sometimes from them too, with the good the carbon filter on top!Oh, also it low enough for kittens to get in, or fat cats, old cats.... I know ppl ask that on these , so yes I don't see any problem with the kittens or the older cat thats very heavy getting in this. But I don't have litter all over either! One likes to dig to China after he's done & with any normal litter box I had the Sahara dessert of litter to clean up! Hence why we got the large plastic totes , which worked wonders, until the fat one couldn't get in any longer. But I love these! No mess , easy to clean, cats love them, easy in & out for all sizes. Highly recommend .Also you can't beat this price! Seriously, pet stores are 2x at least the amount on here. ( uh I hope the don't raise the price now!! 😁) .Ps. I got the other 2 from the warehouse , said like new but a few blemishes less than 2% on top , back or side. Well I didn't notice anything except one TINY scratch on 1 side of a box & who's gonna notice or care about that?!! It was like $5-$6 cheaper! Great deal. Chk the "used" prices, they aren't actually used! Just a scratch here or there or the outer box isn't perfect. I always save money that way, it's great!Hope this helps someone & their loved furry family member! Okay well the cat. There's some pretty furry men out there that could use some manscaping , waxing, pruning,mowing- hey whatever works! Unless you like hugging a sweaty sweater. Hey, I don't judge. I'm sure it might be nice on a cold night 🐻?Anyway......Have a great day,Jenn~

There were several factors that I needed looking for a litter box. First it is in our entry way so I wanted a covered one so guest would not see poo when they walked in. With that in mind I did not want to trap my kittens in there with all that dust from clay litter and smell. Next since the entry way and kitchen are open and together I did not want the smell to be in my kitchen. I have 2 3 month old kittens right now. I bought this litter box as well as the breeze system from Tidy Cats. You can usually find a $7-$10 off coupon on their website so wait for it to go on sale and it should only cost around $20 (plus it comes with a bag of breeze pellets that you could probably see on craigslist for $5.00 which would bring price down to $15.This Catit Jumbo Hooded litter pan has a door that comes off so the cats are not feeling too stuffy. You can also lift the door and carbon filter piece off to have an open door and skylight so its even more open. I use Pine pellets from tractor supply. It is the same as Feline Pine only $5.00 for 40lbs. When cats pee on pine pellets they absorb the urine and the odor and it turns into sawdust. I use the Breeze box, just the bottom green part, without the white outer shield (as I place the breeze sifter pan inside my Catit litter box. It fits perfectly. This system is working great. It is discreet as you can't see it or smell it. There are no urine lumps to remove so less waste. I don't latch the cover on the Catit box. It stays on just fine without latching it. That way I can pull cover off, take out breeze box and empty sawdust from tray once or twice a week. I just throw it out my patio door onto the woodchips I have there. With pine pellets there is no odor, tracking, or dust. The poo sits on top of the pellets or the cats bury it but with the scoop that comes with the breeze all the good unused pellets drop back into pan when shaking scoop so all that is left is the poo. I then put it right in the Litter Champ pail.I also use good cat food (4health from Tractor Supply) which cuts down on the smell of the poo. This is the way to go. You don't have to use the breeze pads in the tray as it is just sawdust that is in there. However I have been buying puppy training pads at the dollar tree 4 pack for $1. I use this to help with any liquid or if they have diarrhea that does not get dissolved right away and so I don't have to clean the tray that often. So the upfront cost to do this is Catit Jumbo Litter Box $24.00 on Amazon+Breeze system $20.00 on sale with coupon at Hyvee+ Pine Pellets $5.00 for a total start up cost of $49. $5 pellets will last 2-3 months for 2 cats. So you are looking at $20-$30/year for litter. With the puppy pads being .25 that's $13.00/yr and you don't have to use them but for me a $1.00 a month is doable to have less to clean. So at the most you are looking at spending about $3.50-$4.00/month to maintain a cat litter that is little work, does not smell like ammonia, is healthy for cats and people to breath, spells like pine not urine, has the option of door closed or open, plenty big enough for cats to move around even if they are large, no tracking, no sticky lumps in litter box or on litter scoop. The only thing to keep in mind is to switch the cats to a new litter box or litter gradually. I kept the old open box with clay scoopable litter out and set the breeze system next to it. I added pellets to the old litter box and eventually after a week or so I took away the other litter and it is going great.
