"Everything I was looking for. My cat loves having the extra privacy, and I love that it helps control odor and keeps the litter inside. The size is perfect for larger breeds or cats that like extra room to turn around and dig no more cramped corners or messes outside the box."

— Gary

"Ordered 4 two came in damaged. Reorder came in and 1 was damaged. Called csr x3. Terrible customer experience"
