apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I have a silver one, and keep it in my closet. I still have problems with cat litter on the floor. I also had to get a catmat for the enterance because one of my cats likes to leap out of it bringing litter with it.

Unfortunately, if you have a larger/taller cat, they pee through the little seam where the top connects to the bottom.

I have a resolute seam-peeing cat. She isn't even tall, just determined.

Using litter crystals has massively cut down on her litter scattering, probably because they don't make the bathroom floor as dirty, so where's the fun in it? The dratted things cost triple the price of normal scoopable litter, though.

I have a seam-peeing cat too! How do they find that one weak spot??? But, at least the ramp "catches" the leak and it is not all over the floor. The ramp also catches a lot of the litter that previously went straight to floor as well.

Also, my my older arthritic cat could no longer jump into the regular boxes with ease so the ramp is a godsend for her.

Yes, it's huge. It sits right in our tiny bathroom as if it were a piece of sculpture. We used to keep her box in a closet, but then litter "dust" was hard to control and it basically rendered that entire closet useless. It's just a fact of life with an indoor cat.

i have the regular verison w/o the steps. it's not this $$$ & not this big. it's actually smaller than most litter boxes i've had. i imagine a litter tracking rug thing would work just fine.

TRY THE REGULAR ONE!!!! IT'S AWESOME!!!

I have a small textured throw rug infront of my litter box which catches much of the paw bound litter as kitty steps out of the box. I need to keep my litter box elevated because I have a little dog who would consider kitty solids to be a delectable treat--NOT IN MY HOUSE!! I can vacuum the throw rug and pick up masses of litter and occasionally launder it to keep things relatively clean. I will still occasionally find evidence of litter in my bed which is a considerable distance from the box.

My cat would stand in the litter area and pee on the top of the steps so it would run down the groove in the edge and pool at the bottom of the steps. Then he'd step in it, it'd overflow onto the floor, and he'd track pee all over. He was also good at peeing through the seam. The only thing this box was good for was keeping the dog's head out of the box (ew ew ew) otherwise, It's too expensive and hard to clean just to have cat pee pooling up at the bottom.
