Booda Dome Cleanstep Litter Box

I got this for our new kitty - mostly to keep things tidy and to keep the dogs out. I was worried that my smaller dog would get in (she's only ten pounds), but so far, so good. My kitten, who is a little over 3 pounds, has no problem getting in and out. I kept the lid off for the first few days, until she got used to using it. Once I put the lid on, she had no problem figuring out how to get in and do her business. I think she will remain reasonably petite, but I worry about how a large cat would do in such close quarters. So far, I'm happy with the product - it contains the litter so none gets kicked around and it keeps the dogs out. I would give it 5 stars, but for two details.

First, the liner they include is a joke. It's too small and ridiculously thin. I would like to find a heavy duty liner to use with this litter pan. Second, it's a little flimsy, and the top and bottom take a little fanagling to get them to interlock. Once it's put together, though, it stays that way until I take the top off to clean it. … more

The idea of this box is so much better than the actual product. Our 15lb cat and 4lb kitten both fit/used. However, the design of it is simply not ideal. We learned the hard way that the top and bottom do not easily align and urine can seep through the seam if not aligned correctly. I love the idea of the extra room for the cats to walk before stepping on the floor to track less litter, but if you use lightweight litter, it'll still track for miles. I wish this contained the smells more - no matter what we do, it still stinks BAD. I do like that our dogs cannot get to the litter. So again, solid meh. Your cat probably deserves better.

This box is good in theory and I've actually gotten one before for an older cat and there was no problem. Now I have a kitten who thinks the stairs are where he should "go"..yikes. No amount of cleaning the stairs and keeping litter off of them seems to convince him otherwise so I'll have to invest in another more old-school box instead, one with a doorway low enough for the little guy to get in.

My cat is notoriously bad at aiming. She keeps her butt too high so she needs something with high walls that can stop it from going everywhere. The top and bottom pieces of this box don't fit together snuggly so the urine leaks out around the edges when she sprays too high and gets all over my floors. The whole point of this box was to keep everything contained and I can't say that it's doing the job.

Vet recommended this as a solution for little, old man I rescued, due to suspected arthritis in back legs making access to regular litterbox difficult and possible reason for dumping his load near the entrance. Situation improved, but not solved, in spite of 3 litterboxes being used for his little, old lady partner, rescued with him and him. They both seem to like using Booda for poopa, at this time. She may be reason he still chooses to avoid being trapped in a box where she can harass him. He let me know he was not happy about the bath he was given on Sunday by dropping his load in the hallway, miles away from all 3 litterboxes...don't think arthritis had anything to do with that or Booda could Vet recommended this as a solution for little, old man I rescued, due to suspected arthritis in back legs making access to regular litterbox difficult and possible reason for dumping his load near the entrance.

Very happy with this litter box! It's not horrible to look at, keeps smell in, cuts down on tracking litter outside, and also helps keep my dog from sticking his head in and eating cookies lol. My only issue is that the lid doesn't clip on or anything so it can be easily knocked off.

Seems like a good concept, except my elderly cat pees on the steps. The urine runs down and right out of the box. The only way to prevent that is to put litter on the steps, which then gets tracked EVERYWHERE. Also, the part for the littler is not as big as you think, and the dome shape further limits room for the cats to turn around.

Nice box. Works well for multiple cats, has a large basin for the litter (which is perfect for my diggers) and the staircase definitely helps catch and keep the off the floor. Color is appealing. Drawbacks: Lid and base do not lock together and is loose. May end up using tape later to avoid spray leakage. Bummer. Carbon Filter is supposed to sit securely on the top of the lid. Held by four open tabs. Unfortunately curious kittens pulled the filter out and had it in pieces within a couple minutes... Not sure how to fix this yet.

Great litter box that fits in small spaces. Even my 2 older cats like it. It’s easy to keep clean. Like the fact that it has a charcoal filter for the odors. Was only disappointed with the clear bag that came with it....did NOT fit so I used a 33 gallon trash bag cut in half. Other than that, I would recommend this cat box to others.

Got to say these are terrible, I got two, one is a big fat cat no way could she get in let have room to potty, The other one is just a kitten she doesn't have much room either, it has a litter step where it catches the litter, it does do that I burned one, ordered another different one for my kitten, Chewy u need to take these off your list.
