Catit Large Hooded Grey Litter Box with Airsift Filter System

Our 5kg boy was struggling with his previous smaller tray so I knew I needed to find a larger box for him to be comfortable. This one from cat it fits the bill - plenty of room for him to toilet comfortably and turn around inside. The entry lip is quite high so it seems to keep litter inside better than being kicked all over the floor. That said it’s not uncomfortably high for my cat but he is only 2, an older one with mobility issues may struggle. Luckily he’s taken to it well and appreciates the privacy of a covered box but also having a clear flap so he can see outside. I appreciate how the entire front of the box lifts up so it’s easy to see and empty any mess.The clips on the side to lock the lid in are good quality, if a little stiff at first but after a few uses I’m sure they’ll loosen up. Too early to tell whether the airsift filters will keep the odour down, I usually like to empty any mess soon as possible anyway so we’ve never really noticed bad smells. Because of the larger size I expect to go through litter more often, but this is a small price to pay for my cat’s comfort.All in all a good buy, both me and my cat are happy with it. Only improvement I would suggest is that for this price an included scoop would be nice - and the filters work out quite pricey - I’ll have to see if I’m going to bother replacing the one included. Thank you for reading my review, picture of box and cat included because why not!

A nice sized Litter Box for a small cat but not a larger variety like a Rag Doll or Maine Coon. Nice design but lid a bit flimsy and it wants some getting used to aligning te box with the fastening when you’ve taken the lid off the box to clean litter. It would be better if lid was a bit more sturdy than the present manufacture because it took me several attempts to get both sides closed

delivered promptly and well packaged. on assembling it, i felt the bottom tray was rather flimsy; but when filled with a few inches of cat litter, it was fine. it's a BIG box - both in width and height - and that's good for cats, who like to turn round a bit when they're covering their poo up. pale grey and white: nice neutral pale colours. it has a ledge (part of the base) just inside the door end, extending an inch or two into the box itself, and this has rather a sharp edge. however, it doesn't seem to present any problems, and in fact has stopped my cat from doing her usual thing of standing inside the box, reaching outside it and shredding the newspaper underneath. she just can't quite reach! ;-) i wasn't at all impressed with the square of black stuff (like a nylon sink scrubber) wedged into the lid. it wouldn't seem to me to be either useful as ventilation, since there's no way you could breathe through it, or as a deodoriser. as some buyers have said, it's an invitation to a curious cat: to take it apart - and my worry would be that they would catch their claws in it, and be unable to detach: could be really dangerous. remove it! and replace with a square of cardboard, or cork tile, if you don't want a hole in the lid. the sliders which hold the lid to the base are a good idea: less likely to break than the usual snap fastening flaps. not sure how much i'd trust them, if lifting the box up when it was full of cat litter, though.like any responsible cat owner, i immediately removed the plastic swing door: who wants to trap a cat inside a litter box with all that dust? no wonder some cats have lung problems. don't use the door, but stand the box so that the open end faces a wall (a foot or so out from the wall) and your dust problem will be minimal. what do you value most - your cat's lungs, or a bit of dust on surfaces, which can be easily hoovered?all in all a good large box, but with a star removed for the nasty unnecessary piece of black nylon stuff.

Horrible.ARRIVAL: It arrives in the biggest bag/sack imaginable which the separate two pieces rattled around in...TRAY: This is made of the flimsiest plastic I have ever seen on a litter tray and the idea of washing it out after a few large poos is a gross one. I needed him to get used to a hooded design as the one he was using was just a box. But Whoa!DESIGN: The door doesn't close and the clip lock feature it raves about hurts your hand to push because of the upraised design on it and also the effort that is entailed with pushing it over. It really caused me stress and then when I had put it together and thought 'well it will have to do for now' along with 'I hope it stays on its box' and 'will this handle ever hold the box if there is litter in it too?' I noted the worst thing of all -POTENTIAL DANGER: The filter is barely held onto the box at all and can be accessed fully from the top where the cat / kitten would jump up to. This rendered it absolutely useless as any playful cat worth its salt would have this out from its truly minimal clipping in a matter of seconds and be eating it instead.RETURN: Frustrated to say the least I decided the box risk was simply not worth it and looked at a return. If you don't have a home office this is impossible - no printer or qr code facility and you are screwed. The idea of being stuck with this box was horrendous as I wanted to replace it with a useable one asap. Luckily the amazon support was able to help me.THE BRAND/ CUSTOMER CONFIDENCE: I NEVER want to buy cat it item again due to the flimsy plastic used (seriously, I know everything gets thinner and less solid but litter boxes? They deal with poo! Let's not skimp on materials used in this particular field).ANY POSITIVES? Other than getting a sturdy awesome replacement from another company at a much cheaper price with covered filter etc? The ONLY positive thing about it is that it is large with a deep tray. I considered using it without the hood but really then it was just a deep tray I could have bought from a garden supplier! Truly horrid useless box and I can tell all this after putting it together and without using it!ADVICE: Don't even get it as a gift for someone ELSE, dammit not even if you don't like them! Their cat is innocent and doesn't deserve the box even if you want to cause the owner the distress!
