How high from the floor is the door, I have an 8 week old kitten and need to make sure he can get in/out.Need hooded box as dog is getting into litter

The door is about 8 inches from the floor and I think an 8 week old kitten would be able to get in, however I think the door might deter him. Have you looked at the igloo type litter boxes?

It might be a little tall for an 8 week old kitten. But in a couple of weeks, they'd have no problem getting in and out.

It is about 3 feet tall, my two cats go in it with a litterbox comfortably. It zips top and bottom and is real easy to clean. If you are getting this for a mid-size dog, it is probably too flimsy. I wouldn't put anything animal over 20 lbs. in it.

The tray is only about an inch high. It is not very deep to put kitty litter in, if that is what you are thinking. My cats try to dig to bury my dogs urine spots on the pads, putting wholes in them. I hope this helps, best of luck to you.

There is plenty of room. I even keep the container of extra litter inside. I do have a mat to catch the litter when they come out. They always have a bit stuck in their fur.

The entrance is 5 1/2" off the floor, so expect some litter to get kicked out. I keep plastic mats at the entrance. Also recommend a metal scooper shaped like a spatula that will easility scoop out the rounded shape of this box.

I have 3 large cats (from the ground to highest point of back is about 12-13 inches) that all use the door just fine. It's a little bit of a tight fit, but they don't seem overly bothered by it. My small dog, who is more barrel chested and less flexible is also able to use the door (she's about the same size as the cats), if a little less gracefully.

It would depend on the size of the dog, really. A small to medium dog would be able to put their head right in. You MIGHT be able to set something heavy on the top and keep a large dog from getting into it. We have an (extra tall) baby gate up at the entrance to the room the cat stuff is in, and it keeps the dog out of the room- which is the ONLY way I have ever been able to keep any dog out of the cat box.

Not sure. Our cat needed a second or two with her head inside the opening before it clicks open. She was reluctant or unable to do that until I put a cinder block there for her to stand on while she was attempting to enter. Depends on how high the cat flap is off the ground. Ours is about 8-12 inches off the ground. I think the closer the door is to the cats head in its natural position/height, the more likely they are to adjust quickly to it. I love mine after she finally learned how to do it. I taught her by forcing her through it several times over several days. I now see my neighbors cat peering inside but wondering why he can no longer enter! Not sure. Our cat needed a second or two with her head inside the opening before it clicks open.

the actual opening is 5-3/4"x6" and my 14+# panther cat fits through no sweat -- it's kind of amazing, since he's pretty tall. important not to have it at floor level, more like 4-6'' off the ground. From the outside ours is at least 8-10" off the ground and neither our big cat nor our tiny cat (6#) have trouble with it. If he wants to go in or out, I bet your cat will be just fine -- the hardest part I've found is simply getting them to push the door open with their noses.

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!!

I purchased a top entry version in 2013. The opening is on the top which has reduce the litter outside the box to a few specks. My cat is a large 20lb 12 year old. He's able to get in & out with no issues.

I agree with V. Sams. Raise it off the floor so the cat can squeeze through but not the dog.

You are correct. It is not much taller than a regular litter box. Maybe just a little bit taller.

Between 7 - 8 inches. It's for adults cats, kittens have a hard time getting in. Hope this helps!

I just saw this message. Has anyone answered this for you? If now, I will measure when I get home from work today. For right now I can say this is the best litter box I've every had. I like not having to take the lid off to scoop it. I do have it under shelves so it's not terribly tall even though it looks taller than regular litter boxes.

How low is the opening for the cat to enter? My cat is huge with short legs and she has arthritis. I need something she can enter without pain. An 8" clearance or less is good for her.

Cut a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" hole in a piece of cardboard and see if he can get through. It might be a tiny bit taller than that, but no wider. The door flap makes the vertical space smaller than it looks. My cat loves it, but she's tiny (7 lbs).
