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."

Try putting some of her dirty litter in it so she smells herself there. Tuen after a day of her walking buy it And being familliar with it, empty her old box completely and set that one in its place. I had one with a lid, and I put my clever cat in front of the door in the lid, so they had to go through the clever cat to get to the door, worked like a champ.

No matter the size the cat, the problem with this type box is that cats pee against the side of the box causing urine to collect under the pan creating an awful mess. I would not recommend this box no matter the size of your cat.

Try scooping some poop out of the other box, place it in the new one and unplug the box until he/she uses it. Then plug it in once a day and hit the button to cycle but dont leave it going. Unplug it once it has cycled. I have the same issues with my cats but we are on week 3 or 4 and they are almost never using the old cat box anymore. Slow transition. They need to trust it.

I'm not sure because there are all different types of covered litter boxes. I suppose if you buy one of those 3M hooks it may.

One of our cats does the same thing - we tried covered boxes but the urine just ran down from the side of the top and gathered in the capilary space between the lid and bottom part of the box. The only we have found to work is 18 GAL Roughneck Totes by Rubbermaid. They are 24 x 16 (like a regular litter box) but even on her best tail pumping days, our female cat can only get to within a half inch of top the the 16.5" tall side walls. I am considering this box but am concerned that the pee will run down the wall and collect where the lid and bottom come together. Did you have any luck with this product and your cat?

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 suspect YES. I have no direct experience with cats however. Big trick--I think--would be to train or tell the cat this is your Cat Box without the cat-litter. Good Luck.

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.

My kitten does the same thing. I purchased the jumbo they are 20" x 14" and 61/2" deep. So far so much better. They work great as long as you fill it with lots of clumping litter. The baking soda helps keep the urine smell gone. As long as you scoop the poop, they work great! I also use the cat genie in conjction with the boxes and it's marvelous! so I just have to scoop the poop out and put it in an air tight bucket. My house smells great! hope this helps.

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

So, I was able to finally get my cat to use the red stage only for pooping. I found out in the process that she stands when she pees and doesn't squat. I should have known that from seeing the inside markings of her litter box. She continued with that same habit with the Litter Kwitter, so I had to just stop using it.

Hi Joe, I don't know the measurements of your "scoop free" box, but it didn't fit my covered box. I use the biggest, longest, plain box I could find. I also didn't/don't use the divider that comes with it. I think with the divider, it's way too small for any box, especially if you have a couple of cats. My cats took to it right away, with no problems. I love hiding the cat box in such a great way and I think you will love it too. GOOD LUCK!

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.

It will leak through the seam. I had an elderly cat with kidney issues and arthritis in her hips -- she used to bend down and raise her butt to pee spraying all over the wall and down the sides. I found Nature's Miracle High-Sided Litter Box (P-82035) to be the most effective. 11/16" shorter, but the low front made it easier for her to get in and out. I think a weewee pad under will prove to be a good thing.

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!

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!
