Arm & Hammer Sifting Cat Litter Pan, Large

I’ve used these for several years and they are so much better and easier than scooping. You can wipe down the just-emptied box so actual washing of the litter box doesn’t have to be as frequent. But you will be washing three things rather than one. I’ve tried other sifting systems. This is the simplest.

This is first litter pan I purchased for inside playpen type cage. Being it was a bit large I purchased corner pan in hopes of having more space for them to play. Have gone back to this one as it is the easiest to work with and finger friendly when pulling the sifter from the pans. What I like is I can pour from the first pan through the sifter into the bottom pan. Then move the sifter and pour through it again. That way any tiny particles that may have been missed the first time are caught. Plus the bottom of the bottom pan is always clean. Would highly recommend this pan and will be purchasing another one because we now have over a dozen cats/kittens making use of our cat/kitty area This is first litter pan I purchased for inside playpen type cage.

I was skeptical about using this system of sifting and pine litter. My elderly kitty girl has been getting clumping litter stuck in her rear paws (cement paws) and appeared to be having a hard time. I needed to try another form of litter. She wasn't too fond of the pine litter in the beginning. She is still getting used to it and I do believe she will resort to this method eventually. We still have both systems of litter up for her with the eventual hopes we can rid ourselves of the clumping litter altogether. I cannot speak to the odor as we have not witnessed that yet. We personally like this method. It is much cleaner and neater if done per the instructions.

Use this litterbox with pine pellets and you'll never dread poop-scooping again! First, I have to say that my cat loves it. He hopped right in before I could pour anything in it. Second, this is by far the best litterbox on the market. Doesn't mean it couldn't be better, but that's a quick fix. When you're using the pine pellets, you need space between the slotted pan and the catch pans for the sawdust to go. However you go about raising the slotted pan, make sure it's something that's attached to it. The first thing I tried were individual risers sitting in the catch pan, and I had to pick them up out of the pee-sawdust whenever I was going to clean the litterbox.

My DIY solution was to cut 5 pieces of PVC pipe 1 1/2 in long. I drilled a hole straight through both sides, and zip-tied it to the slotted pan (one at each corner and one in the middle; the plastic is a little bendy and I wanted to make sure it would hold the weight of the litter and my big dude of a cat). Now when I pick it up, I can just toss the pee-sawdust in the trash no problem. This litterbox was designed to be used with clumping clay litter, which is why it has no space between the pans. I was going to give it 4 stars for requiring some modifications, but this with pine pellets has really changed my life. … more

I really like the concept of this litter pan having two pans and a screened pan for easier cleaning. But, the downfall with this is particular design is that it's too short overall. This needs to be longer and wider. Poor kitty has to scrunch in.....

A few years ago I got a very expensive (about 3x more) sifting box. Comparing the two, I like this one more. Easy to use, clean, no litter left on the floor. I've already bought another for me, and one for family. Highest recommendation for everyone.

Triple benefits. I bought this because I was looking at the size to fit inside the cabinet I bought to hide the litter box. My guy is big and this litter box works for him. It fits perfectly in the cabinet and I really like the way it works with the new litter I decided to start using as well; Okocat - clumping biodegradable and flushable mini wood pellets that is flushable and or compostable so I don’t have to be adding urine soaked clay litter to the landfill. Now I have the best of all three worlds - litter that totally absorbs urine odor and only smells like pine, a litter box that I can sift the litter through so I don’t have to mess with it and a cabinet that hides it all.

I was really getting tired of scooping my grand-kitty's litter box and ran across this sifting cat litter pan. It works just as it says and I no longer have to scoop. It comes with 3 pans, one of them the sifting pan. You put the litter into one of the non-sifting pans, and put that on top of the others, with the sifting pan in between. Then when it's time to change the litter, you just pull up the pan kitty has been using and dump the soiled litter into the sifting pan just below it. Pull up the sifting pan and shake, and all the clean litter falls through with poo and clumps caught in the sifter. Then just empty that into a garbage bag.

Sometimes one or two of the clumps want to stick to the bottom of the pan when emptying into the sifter, that's the only issue which is quickly rendered by knocking it out with the scoop. Maybe future models could have non-stick surface. Other than that (which is no biggie) I am very happy with this. SO much better than scooping! Great design and very affordable! … more

I bought the cat cabinet and the sitting litterbox. I love how it hides the litterbox, and the sifter works as it should. But the litterbox is so shallow, our 3 cats cant squat low enough to actually pee inside the litterbox, they pee over the side onto the wooden bottom of the cat cabinet, which is eating off the wood finish and a pain to clean. The litter box needs modified to be deeper or have sides

Memphis is the first cat I've ever had, so I've come a long way with my cat knowledge since March 2020. I started out with clay litter but quickly switched to pine pellets, because the smell of regular litter was impacting my existence. Pine pellets are the best. A friend recommended this specific litter box for pine pellets. In my mind, I envisioned Memphis would mainly encounter clean/whole pellets. Like, the more she dug around, the more she'd help "self-clean" the litterbox by pawing loose tainted dust so it could travel towards the bottom. Especially pee dust. Unfortunately, the sifter sat so low in the blue pan that nothing like that really happened.

Unfortunately, the sifter sat so low in the blue pan that nothing like that really happened. Memphis drinks a ton of water, so is consistently peeing waterfalls. I needed my vision to work. I couldn't find any other litterboxes that solved the problem of space between sifter and pan. Had to take matters into into my own hands and recommend you do too. I modified the sifter using 2 inch high density closed cell foam. I cut 4 pieces then hot glued one to each side of the sifter so it sat higher on the blue pan. VOILA! It's not a particularly pretty sight, but it's been working for over a year now. Sawdust is able to arrive and accumulate in the pan. You could probably use other types of material, but I'm able go over the whole system with disinfecting wipes and/or wash as needed. Overall, I give this a 3.5/5.0 Stars. The size of the box itself is perfect, but yeah, I had to modify the sifter. There doesn't seem to be anything better on the market right now though, so this box for pine pellets may be the easiest to modify. With the mods, it's easy to clean and I'm thankful my cat accepts it! It's a team effort. I still have to knock impacted sawdust from sifter holes with her scooper though. Also, I wish there was a cover option. I guess I can make one out of a cardboard box... … more
