Our cat is 17 lbs., should we get the Large or Extra-Large Sifting Cat Litter Box?

The large fit our cat just fine, but he is not nearly 19 lbs. Maybe you should try the extra large.

We have the large version of the Omgea rolling litter box. The 18lb bag fills it perfectly.

The inside litter pan is not extremely large, so in my opinion, it will probably not accommodate a cat weighing 20 plus pounds. My five cats range from about 8 to 12 pounds and I had problems with urine getting outside the pan and onto the floor. I have since quit using this box and bought a liter robot, which is excellent.

I have a large cat as well, and although she could fit in, it wasn't comfortable . It only fits a small box inside . I ended up using it for a small cat bed Instead of a litter box

Four months we have a 16 lb cat. The litter is cleaned almost daily and litter is refreshed often. Could have used it longer because it was not wet or stained but figured it was time to change out.

5.5 is about accurate. It may be possible to have someone cut it a bit lower if you know a good handyman. I LOVE this litter box and is the only one big enough for my huge cat.

I'd go for the large. I have a Himalayan cat and at 7 pounds the large gives her plenty of room to stand up and turn around but I wouldn't go any smaller. She loves it.

I have 3 cats. One of them is around 22-25 lbs. It is perfect. I have 5 litter boxes in my house b/c they say always have one for each cat and then cpl extra. I plan on replacing all of them with this one since it seems to be the one they now like the best and I love it too. Definitely worth it.

The size dimensions are accurate and give more room for our larger kitties (15 pounds & over) to feel comfortable and not be crowded while doing their business. Smaller sizes don't work well for larger cats as their feet remain inside the litter box while their "business" may not fall within the confines of the litter box. This also works great for multi-cat families because it can leave space for them all to have their own territory within the box & then it rakes it all away in one sweep.

Hi Samantha, I have the large size and just measured it. The bottom of the opening is 6" from the floor, and then the opening itself is 10" high and 9" wide. I also have 2 kitties, ages 4 and 5, the 5 year old can be cranky and doesn't really like change. Anyway, they've both only ever used uncovered litter boxes. We've used the LitterMaid, and regular ones, but all uncovered. I left out both regular boxes with the Omega Paw and let the old ones get dirty, took one away and let the other get dirty until I didn't see any "disturbance" in it. We've only had this litter box for about 9 days and both have completely adjusted. I don't know much about CH, and I'm sure any difference in height could make a big difference. Anyway, I hope that helps! And btw, I love this litter box!!

Go with the large. It's 19" long, 9-1/2" wide and 13" high if that will be large enough. I got mine because my cat breed is large & will be close to 20# when full grown. Will be cozy, none too big.

I have 16 and 20 inch beds. My older 11lb cat likes to sleep in the 16 inch bed even though she seems to over flow it. For a little more money you may want the 20 inch one.

I purchased the intermediate size which more than accommodates my 19-lb feline. Plenty of room to spare once she settles in. While cats and dogs take up space differently, my feeling is that the LARGE carrier would be a comfortable accomodation for your buddy, likely with room to spare for a pad.

My cat weighs 15lbs. She loves her privacy and the box works great. If your cat can jump up to a chair or your lap, it can get into the litter box.

I would go with Large ... we use the Large for our 12lb cat for same reason, he is stocky ...

Any clumping litter is good. I use Fresh Step. My cat did not like Arm and Hammer and Scop Away. He is rather fussy. I used both of those at one time or another and they served the clumping well. He just prefers Fresh Step. One thing i have learned with the Littermaid. Be sure the one you have has a litter bed appropriate for the size of your cat or you will have trouble with the litter clumping because the cat will be constantly urinating on the same wet area and it will not clump if he has no space to scratch and cover which is their natural instinct. I just realized that since I downgraded to a cheaper version of littermaid box and caught him not fitting in the box as he should. He puts is front paws on the back of the box in order to fit. As soon as I get enough money saved I am going to get him the $129 version that he originally had. I would checkl to see if your cat fits in the litter box comfortably so that he can scratch the litter when he is done and help the clumping process along.
