I have a semi-squatter/box-lid seam pee-er/entrance pee-er - would this box be high enough and encourage him to turn around to help with issues?

I have the same issue with one of my furr-babies!!! This has definitely cut back on the amount of pee on my floors and walls but I still think the walls could be about 1-2 inches taller b/c I'm still having occasional instances. IF only they'd make that extra initiative and SQUATT?!!

i think so. I like mine it is high and big and i have one cat that is fairley big and i think they like it better because it is bigger they have more room to turn around.

Mine doesn't even squat, I used to have pee all over the wall. This one is high enough most of the time, just once in awhile he still likes to aim high lol, but it's the highest I found and again I'm happy with it. Good luck:)

Yes, one of my female kitties does the same thing and this box, so far, has kept all the pee where it is supposed to be. :)

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.

I believe it would be high enough - the rectangle shaped litter boxes from natures miracle are very high also. This brand is excellent and one of the highest ones that I've seen. To be on the safe side bring the dimensions to your vet and just double check with them. Otherwise I would highly recomend this brand.

They way my son is "designed" the potty hole is not big enough for his parts to fit in and contain the urine. I have to help him aim down. My husband finds it annoying, but I like all of the other features so much, it doesn't bother me. If it were our everyday, regular potty it would be annoying. My son is 2 1/2 and 30 lbs for a reference.

He can get his head in there and probably knock the lid off. Maybe you could get a box that has an opening at the top

Like Amber said, it's not the angle of the torso that's most important, but that your knees are lifted above the hips to get the correct alignment for your colon. You could also use a 7 inch box in front of your toilet, but I like that the squatty potty wraps around the toilet and I don't have to mess with getting a box out of the closet every time I have to go.

This litter box was the answer for my "stand up while peeing" cat! No more accidents ...unless the butt hangs out of the opening, but that honestly does not happen that often! It's a great litter box!

No. You just lift up the top cover and seat like you would to urinate while standing up, place the elevated seat on the toilet, and you're in business. It works great provided it's not a strange sized opening. On a normal toilet, it should be fine.

I think you could, as you put a regular toilet seat above the riser. If there was any adaption it might be a slightly longer bolt.

If the toilets are not too tall, yes. This is designed to direct the flow outwards, away from you, but will not actually allow them to pee like boys. If you tip it too far upward, it will run out the back and get into their clothing.

It's possible. Since I don't know your cat it's hard to say for sure. The opening to the box isn't very high it. I measured it and it was just under 3 inches high which in my experience is still high enough to allow me to put a comfortable layer of litter in it. My bunny, Chibi, used to like sleeping in his litter box sometimes so this was a requirement for me. The opening is also very wide. I don't think any sized cat would have trouble with this. If your cat's arthritis isn't so bad that she can't step up three inches and if she only uses litter boxes as a litter box and not a bed (I think if you have a small cat this wouldn't matter but I don't think a larger one would be able to lay in it comfortably though I'm not sure.) I wouldn't see any reason this one wouldn't work.

Yes. Depending on where they are you may have to position it higher. That's what my boyfriend had to do but it worked well.

Yes. Note that the step stool portion is variable (i.e., not fixed) and swivels to allow the unit to adjust to the height of the toilet.

I would say no especially if you have short legs. I do not and the seat is raised up 2" higher than a normal seat and if you have a high rise toilet that makes it even taller. I like the size and all and I am not near as small as you but it is just to high i wish it was normal like a regular seat in height. The material construction is very good quality.

Seems like more of a balance issue that a weight issue. It may slide out from under you. Also, where you put your feet is kinda high up. If you can squat like that I wouldn't think you'd need the Squatty Potty.

I think it would. The box can be adjusted so it moves forward or backwards depending on how you have it positioned.

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.

I have this litter box inside of the cat washroom/end table and so far, they have not peed over the top. The male usually peed up to the top of a covered box I had but he seems to keep it inside this one so far. It might be that having the litter box inside another "box" helps him to keep it down a little. :-)

Only if you use a step stool. It is close to the same height as a standard toilet
