My male cat sprays really bad. Would the lid keep the urine contained? Or would it leak out?

Even with the lid snapped in place, urine leaks out of this unit. I have two average-sized female cats and they manage to urinate high enough to where it leaks out in multiple areas around the box. I need to keep a disposable urine pad underneath the unit in order to prevent the urine from landing on my carpet. If this unit had some sort of lip/seal, I'd be a much bigger fan.

It should; if he is uninating against the back of the box, yes it will contain it. If he is facing his backside out of the front then maybe not. I find this box to be just wonderful as I have lots of cats. I own 5 of these and have purshed more for friends with cats. I highly recommend this as it cleans well!

Having the cover definitely makes a difference, but the opening is also pretty large, so it's unlikely the box would contain all of the spray. You'd probably be better off getting a similar box with a door on the opening.

Hi Kelly - My one cat likes to back up against the side to urinate, and would sometimes overshoot the edge. She still does the same thing and what I noticed is just a little urine on the edge of the box after I take of the lip to scoop. So, I'd say it's contained. The box is the deepest I've ever had and I haven't seen any drips..I completly wash it out every 2 weeks and have not noticed any drips down the outside. I'm pretty happy with it. Sure contains the litter....only a few escape now. It was ridiculous before.

I had the same problem with my other cat litter boxes but I've had this one for a few months now and I haven't had it happen. The bottom is pretty deep too which helps

I don't know for sure, I don't have that problem with my cats. I did spray some water around the edges where the top connects to the bottom and there was no leakage. The only problem I see is if your cat sprays toward the entrance to the box.

The litter box is great. Keeps everything's in. I also found litter that's the best. It's called Feline Pine at Petco.com you can probably get it on Amazon too. Hope this helps. My cat sprayed too so unfortunately we had to have him neutered which we didn't want to do but that solved the problem.

I have all female cats but one urinates over the side of any regular litter box. I have had no leaks or puddles around this one.

Not sure I understand the question. As long as the lid is screwed on, it does not leak but, obviously, if you remove the lid and turn it on its side the contents will pour out.

Yes, but the lid will not sit tight. if your cat pees on the walls of the litter box it will drip through the small gap.

It acts like a diaper and so the cat will urinate and defecate in it. We have an older cat that likes to spray and urinate when out of his room so we use Joybie for this. It fits well and he can't get it off due velcro straps. He doesn't like wearing it but it keeps our furniture and dog beds free of urine and we use a thick maxipad in it.

Dunno, but mine leaks intermittently, so I put a square cat litter bucket under it. Not putting any more $ into a POS.

Well, I can't say for sure but my guess is the pee could get outside the pen. It is vinyl on the bottom but I've not experienced anyone peeing in mine so I can't say if it is water-tight or not. The siding where you see black is mesh. That's why I would guess the pee would get out. My cats who like to burrow enjoyed being inside there, so long as it was unzipped so they could walk freely in and out.

The best thing I found for my cat, who doesn't even make an attempt to squat is a Rubbermaid storage box, they have some that are not overly huge and very high. Both my cats stand to pee, and even my big boy, (about 16 pounds) doesn't pee over the top of a Rubbermaid, and they are MUCH less expensive that most height sided litter boxes. I think outs is 23 inches high. If I even cut the front he pees out of the opening.

the first rotation will cover the uncovered pop and pee with litter and the second rotation, when the next cat or the cat goes again, will allow the now covered pee/pop to drop into bottom of unit (if not all in one motion). It will only smell for seven minutes though.

NO...not @ all....it would block the holes & all of it would go down to the pad that is created for urine only.I would hate to see the mess that it create. Breeze pellets do not soak up the urine or dissolvein anyway, urine just drains to the bottom pad. Feline Pine would dissolve & clog everything." ) Meow

I believe that this container, if used in conjunction with its companion lid, would most likely do the trick of keeping out any pests. The lid seals pretty tightly to the container. To be totally forthcoming, though, I have not had any experience with keeping out critters, so I can't attest completely to the air tightness of the container in this specific situation.

The lid is very secure and should not be a problem. So far, my cats have had no issues and do not have a reason to break into it or knock it over. It is best to always keep it filled up halfway so there is enough weight to hold it down (in case it is somewhere that a cat might be tempted to knock it over).

Sort of , it's more like a cupping device to keep the litter in. My son's cat used to do that too , turning around and peeing out the door. It does help it to stay in , like a splash guard, but nothings perfect when dealing with that. I keep an old towel under the litter pan and change it daily.its easier than cleaning it up after the pee goes under the pan and is floating. I do think the bottom lip on the pan helps quite a bit compared to the regular type of litter pans. We also got his cat the big corner pan as opposed the the smaller oval pan. That helps keep it in as well. Good luck to you ! Sort of , it's more like a cupping device to keep the litter in. My son's cat used to do that too , turning around and peeing out the door.

Not high enough. If you have an over-achiever that sprays high, this will only leave a mess. I also have another litter box that is a corner box, same height etc . On both of these boxes if the cat shoot high the urine will leak between the lid and the bottom and go onto your floor. Probably not what you are looking for. This litter box in particular is very frustrating being as it is oval you cannot scoop out the solids in the corners without twisting the scooper in a Houdini fashion. I have gone back to using my $5.00 special of a Rubbermaid or similar lidded storage box. You cut whatever size hole in the side that you want and I also cut a large hole in the lid so the cat would not be claustrophobic. It works well. Bottom line is this particular box is not worth the money in my opinion

The high back and sides of the Iris Open Top Litter Box contains the cat spraying, and it's cheap on Amazon. THIS IS WHAT SOMEONE USED. THEY POSTED THEIR OWN REVIEWER PICS OF IT ON THERE AND IT SEEMS TO FIT JUST FINE.IM WAITING TO SEE IF ANYONE HAS TRIED A BREEZE SYSTEM IN IT. I LOVE MY LITTER BOX TOO MUCH TO GIVE IT UP LOL.

It may but my neighbor had the same problem with one of her cats and I told her to use a large tote for a litter box and it stopped the problem, they can spray in it but it still stays inside of the tote.

Nope! I own three cats and have never had a problem! There is very little room on the lid for a paw to slip through :)

I used one and it held up very well. The litter level is very shallow , but I was surprised that there was no leaks whatsoever. My males pee backwards and I thought for sure it would leak through the back or side walls. But to my surprise.. no leaks anywhere..Hope that helps..I also kept it longer than I should have and added litter a few times before tossing it :) Barbara
