"This is a good product. It is large enough for my jumbo-sized cat (all muscle as they say lol). The stainless steel makes it easy to scoop. I’ve always used plastic litter boxes but this is far better. The shape of the litter box also prevents my cat from creating a pile of litter on the floor wit..."

— Karin
