Highlighted Reviews
"My cats use it well. Dogs can’t get into it. Really like it!"
"As title says. The top and bottom parts don't align (bottom is too wide), so the lid collapses into the box when trying to lift it to clean the litter. 1 star for box, do not recommend. 5 stars for Chewy for their quick refund, 10/10 recommend Chewy."
Bottom Line
Consider this litter box if you have a young, agile cat and can find a stable place for it. It's not ideal for older or heavier cats.
