will this work for cat not covering poo? My large cat doesn't cover her poo... will this box work?

Yes, it works fine. The crystals work to dry the poop before it is pushed into the "storage area" so it can stunk for a while, but after it gets moved it is the same as if the cat buried it. You can adjust the time that the box waits before "pushing."

My cat isnt finicky about litter box usage so I can't really say for certain. If I had to guess, it would be for the benefit of the human.

not a good idea, i have the large size and my cat fills it everyday, so i clean it twice a .day or she will go outside the box

I haven't tried that as I don't have a covered litter box, although I've had them in the past. However, I think it just might. The hook part of the molded plastic caddy is about one inch high and above the the top of the caddy, so it might fit under the box cover. If I had a covered litter box, I would buy it. You can always return it or give it to another cat lover.

My cat easily went back to using his litter box. He preferred it. I never successfully trained him to use the toilet. We made it to green and he was to large to sit on the edge of the toilet at that stage. If you have a small, thin cat, it might all work. My cat was more than willing, but the setup didn't work for him. So we are back to litter.

Thanks for the answers. I had always had a cat door accessing a large pen in my 2 previous homes, but was forced to get a litter pan for where I'm currently living & had always thought you needed to use liners with them. Not only had I found them to be ridiculously expensive, but I'd yet to find any that fit since this is a large, high back box. I'm trying it without liners now. Thanks to all who took the time to answer. :)

It does much better than an a open box... For my cats, this box gives them the ability to cover their poop well (more room to turn around and maneuver....), minimizing smell...

The only way we knew it was working was because the cat poop isn't there anymore. Not sure about the answer to the second question. We just set it and let it do it's job. Now our back yard is not a giant litter box.

Did you ever find anything that would work for your cat? I have the same issue I'm trying to resolve...cat box in the laundry room but want to keep the kiddo out.

I can't answer that question. I've had mine for a year, and it still works well. We only have one cat though. It is worth every penny not to have to sift cat poo by hand- that is the ultimate question.

That's why I bought it (several of mine miss). So far, seems to be working. Granted, it depends on how far away from the litter box your cat goes. But there's a shallow dip a few inches from the edge that may catch a little bit of liquid. Large volumes may be more problematic (it doesn't absorb anything as it's plastic).

Ditto the previous response. Doree Tateoka's measurements are right on. I really like my two Flip Litter Boxes for our 'wall spraying' kitteh. Remember, once your cat steps into the box he/she will be a couple inches higher depending on how much litter you use.

Hi Brenda, sometimes, the boxes last longer if you clean often. I have three cats, four boxes, they tend to only use two downstairs. These are worth a try. I like them because I have clever cat boxes (expensive), these protect the box. Might get liners if cheaper and switch off. Still would give them a try. Also, might depend on type of litter and what's going on with cats stool. Let me know if you have further ? Ps clever cat is only good for small cat. I found my 8 month Big Boy (12" tail), gets poop on tail and elsewhere, other two still like bigger box.If you have small cat only would recommend clever cat box.

I've been using this box for some time now with 3 cats, 2 under a year and 1 older, all about average size. Haven't tried a liner but it does a good job of containing the litter. It seems the liner could be held in place at least partially by the top which is pretty secure with 4 good size snaps. Aligning the top can be a little tricky at first but easy to figure out. Hope this helps!

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

No cat would jump up on this and sit to use as toilet. Tall, would tip. Look for those special toilet seats to train your cat to use toilet. This is just a hamper to put clumps of poo into!

In my opinion, the sides are too high for most cats to be able to do that....unless there was a lot of litter in the box to bring level of waste up high. Does that make sense? I hope so. Hope this helps you.
