Height of entrance? Also has anyone changed their cat from a regular uncovered box?

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!!

Acorner Box would probably fit him better, my cat is not that large and she barley fits longways

I have the same issue - a cat with "elevator butt" syndrome. The problem with the covered cat boxes I've been using is that the urine would collect in the seam between the top & bottom halves.Just switched to a 30 gallon Sterilite tote with a 9" x 9" door cut on the side so that they don't have to jump over the high edge. Filled 1.5 bags (60 lbs) of Dr Elsey's clumping litter (unscented). Amazing clumping compared to the Fresh Step I'd been using. Won't have to do a total replacement very often at all.And the Clever Cat top entry seems nice, but my cats are very big. Not sure how they would be able to jump down without stepping in existing waste, and getting back out wouldn't always be simple. I have the same issue - a cat with "elevator butt" syndrome.

There is a "door type" of opening on the bottom that is about 5 inches in width at the bottom. The largest circular openings are about 4 to 4 and a half inches in diameter. My cat is an 8 pounder. She actually has never gone inside of the tree, but it has been the absolutely best scratching post we could find. Don't know if the failure to go inside is due to size or not. She does not in general go hiding at all - so it may be a temperament issue, but dont really know

You could move it up but if its a hollow door it will not look so good. I raised mine up 2" so I didn't have to cut through the lower frame and then I wrapped the lower frame in matching color felt and stapled it at the bottom of the door for a clean look and to protect my cat's belly. My cat is only 8#s so I can't say if yours would fit. You can download the template on their website and then cut it out to gauge fit for your cat.

I have not found a box on the market with high sides that fits inside this box. I did find a covered box at petco last week that fits inside but the front is a little too high - don't think my cats can make it thru the opening now because the front of the litterbox is higher than the opening - they don't like going thru it now. This washroom that I spent 1.5 hours assembling and coating with contact paper is now sitting empty as a coffee table for the time being and I have gone back to my highback natural instincts pan with the "katmandu" enclosure which cost under $30. hope that helps you.

I am not sure. I did not install the divider that was sent with the cat box. I also do not have a traditional litter box as my female thinks she is male when she pees. I bought a high sided plastic bin/tote and cut out an opening for her to get in the bin to do her business. Sorry I could not help.

The largest opening is about 4"x2". I have cats to. Pretty sure it's too small for them.

I have the same problem but cats vs dogs, I will order this and try it on the top of door but move it closer to the hinge side to open up the door more, I'll let you know the results Frank Ok, I installed on the top edge of the door about midway, it works fine to allow cats to their box. You have to be tall enough to unlatch when you enter though and overall it seems easy to break if you forget to unlatch, I wish it was stronger.

No. For my Glass patio I used a 2x6" post the height of my sliding door and notched out 4.5x10.5" opening at the bottom and stapled a vinyl flap on the bottom. This allows my fat cat to snuggly enter and leave at her pleasure. I painted the wood post the color of my wall trim, so it matches. Had to plane the edges of the post so that it fitted into the aluminum door opening and then secured top with one wood screw. looks neat and works fine.

The front panel where the opening is is 16 1/2 high and 14 wide. (The top lid sticks out a bit) The opening where the cat enters is 8 wide and 10 high and it is 6 1/2 inches from the ground. Approx measurement because I have a mat under mine so my tape measure didn't quite hit the floor. Hope that helps.

Hi. The one I bought is about 5 1/4. It is the hooded one. I have 5 cats so I have to have a few litter boxes. I think Natures Miracle are great because they have high sides but the opening is not too tall. My daughter have kittens and they are able to get in and out with no problem.

The opening for the cat is 6" wide x 7 1/2 high. The total box is 14W x 18L. The actual pan is 5 1/2 high which is what the cat needs to climb over to get in. The total height with the 6" lid is 11 1/2" Hope that helps!

Weight is not the factor here; girth is. The door is seven inches by seven inches. Get a cardboard box big enough for your cat and cut a seven by seven inch hole in one end. If he can (easily) get out, you may have a winner. You could do the same with a "pet carrier" by duck taping a heavy piece of cardboard over the door with a seven by seven inch hole in. My guess; you need to move up to doggie doors.

Hi,I measured 7 inches from the bottom of the box to the entrance. I have a cat that is 17 years old and he doesn't have any problem getting into the box. Hope this helps.

The inner height is 9 3/4", The entrance inner height is 7". The box is triangular shaped. The two equal sides are 16" long, the side with the entrance is 20" long. These are the inside ( bottom ) measures. The sides slope outward and the top measures are 20 " for the sides and 23" across the entrance. Hope this helps. The finish on this litter box is nice, the litter does not stick and it scoops out easily. I bought a second one.

The opening is 7-1/2" wide and 8-1/2" high. Our cat is very large (tall and long) and he has no difficulties maneuvering in to, out of, or within the litter enclosure. Hoping that helps you!
