"I replaced the existing litter box with the Van Ness Trackless Top Entry Cat Litter Box, Large for my two cats. Both cats checked it out as soon as I put it in place of their regular litter box. I was a little concerned that the 1 year old would object to a change, but he watched the 5 year old us..."

"The idea of this product is wonderful, however, my cat did not agree with the design. To be fair, she is an indoor/outdoor cat, so the concept of being confined to do her business is foreign to her. If you start a cat off young with this type of design, I think that it would work better."

Bottom Line

If you have an active cat and want to keep litter tracking to a minimum, this is a solid choice. Just be mindful of your cat’s mobility.
