I’ve been using this box for almost two years, it’s held up great with two cats using it in my 500 sqft. Guests never notice it is a box, and it’s easy to clean daily.

I purchased this litter box and used regular cheap acrylic paint from Michaels, mixed with baking soda and it looks much better! Definitely elevated it to look like an antique vase/pot rather than cheap plastic. I ditched the fake plant & grass and bought moss from Michaels and put that on the top. If i were to do this again, i would try to find a patch of moss or grass rather than loose crumbles of moss because my cat does dig in it and make a mess

I just received this a week ago! I love it for my cat. He likes to urinate on the very front of the little box and sometimes its really hard to clean in the corners. This litter box’s round shape is perfect for cleaning ease.

I own two of these because I had two large boy cats (18 and 22 lbs.). I really like these litter boxes. Yes, they are a bit cheesy-looking, but they get the job done! After one of the boys had an intestinal issue, I started using plastic garbage bags as litter box liners, which works great!

Everything Mallory said, I agree with, from the way you have to put on the lid to how tall it is. I got mine at least 8 years ago, possibly 10, so perhaps the dimensions have changed, but my cats have no trouble turning around in these boxes, possibly because it’s round. Her boxes far more plastic leaves (fronds?) than mine do.

They serve my purposes quite well. When company comes over, I move the opening 6-8 inches from the wall facing away from doorway (rather than a corner) of a spare bedroom. No one knows it’s there. I can see how spray-painting would help it fit in with your decor. These are NOT small boxes by any means!

My cat loves this litter box. I have had it for two years and two apartments. I like it because it’s smaller and, keeps in the smell
However it does have a problem with tracking of the litter even with a litter mat

Thank you for your ability to be so creative. I really appreciate that you put thought and research that reflects on your love for your cats. Thank you for taking the time to help fellow cat lovers!!! Happy Holidays!!

It seems to me this would make a better cat nest than a litter box.

Considering how they love boxes and so on, throwing a plush fleece blanket in there would be something they would like. 👍

I've noticed they now have litter bags specifically made for this litter box. I'm going to give them a try.

I did consider this for a while because I have a 2-story home and an open floor plan downstairs, so there’s no place to hide a litter box on the first floor. But I saw it in person and I thought the price wasn’t justified. My kittens don’t mind going upstairs to use their regular boxes, I’m simply not sure if they would adapt to a covered box anyway. And they will be big cats (Ragdolls) so I’ll consider it only if the price comes down. Manufacturing seems a bit shoddy. Thanks for the review!

That's an awesome idea 💯👍🏼 my cat is messy with his litter box.. 🤣

My favorite discreet litterbox is a storage bench with a hole in the side, you can just lift up the top and clean the litterbox inside of it and all the litter and smell is kept inside the bench. Can just sit in the entryway hallway or a closet.

Good march. May God help you for this noble work

Exactly the video I needed ! Thank you 🙏 ☺️

Thank you for your review of this litter box. I'm still trying to decided where I want my cat litter box to be (right now I have it in the kitchen by the trash can because that is the only place in the house with enough room) and was thinking about this one. I don't think I would consider this for a litter box but might for a cat bed

Here's my experience, I've been using this litter box for the past 3 years and now I have 3 of them, I also have 3 cats. There's a newer updated version that comes with rocks and a better looking plant versus the moss. The moss was not ideal, my cats were eating it. Long story short, this is why it works for me. I have one cat who aims really high, none of the open square litter boxes worked for me. None of them were high enough to catch the pee. This littler box works for me because it's high enough and enclosed. The only issue with this is that although it doesn't leak outside, it does leak into the groove which makes it difficult to clean. Not impossible but not easy. It holds pee there and if you don't clean it, it will start to smell. I usually wedge a clean paper towel into the groove to clean it out. But overall my cats don't mind that it's facing a wall.

I know my cat would have loved this cat litter box!

This is the litter box that I have! I love it except for the fact that since it’s plastic it does retain smells. It’s so large and has so much space for the cats and it just really makes the space look intentional!

[jazzkatt]

I have a relatively small living space (think in terms of a studio apartment or bedsit), and multiple cats. Multiple cats means multiple boxes, and I gave up on open boxes years ago, for several reasons. For one thing, most do nothing to protect walls and furniture from cats who "pee high." For another, one of my cats prefers to have her box off the floor. Setting one of these planter-type boxes on top of my dog's kennel, which looks a lot like an end table, is a perfect solution for her, and a very efficient use of limited floor space, as well, so efficient, in fact, that I now have one on an actual end table, as well, in addition to two on the floor.

It's true that the boxes are a little flexible, and yes, it might take a moment to line up the top and bottom. I find this a small price to pay. The foam filter is useless, and the straw-looking nesty bits didn't work out well for me, either: my cats just played with them, scattering them everywhere until I threw them out. The box looks fine without them, and frankly, if you need a filter to control odor, your litter box isn't clean enough, anyway.

Aesthetics: I would not face the opening to the wall. These are litter boxes, and I'm not trying to hide the fact that they are litter boxes. They're just a bit more attractive (and tidier) than most. I've seen pictures of these boxes that have been painted different colors, had more plants added, you name it. While they are not items I would select solely on the basis of their beauty, they certainly don't look any worse than a standard litter box.

The litter: Clumping litter does tend to stick. One way of dealing with this is to get a curved scoop. Another is to try a different litter. I use horse bedding. It's basically the same thing as Feline Pine, except that a 40 lb. bag costs about $6.50 at the local farm store, as opposed to at least twice that amount for half as much when it's marketed as cat litter. It's cheap, far more sustainable than litters made of bentonite clay (most of them), does a great job of controlling odors, and doesn't stick to the box. at. all. While it's not "scoopable, " you can still remove solid waste between litter changes, just like people did for years before scooping litter came on the scene.

Lol, have the exact same planter litter box and couldn't agree more to it's flimsiness while carrying it. My dad sprayed flex seal inside and it helped a good bit making it stronger. Not to the point worth buying a can but if you have some laying around give it a go.
