Catit Jumbo Hooded Cat Pan

I can actually use the swinging door! Through the past thirty years plus of having litter boxes I never kept the swinging door on. But with the kittens I got in July of 2020 it's a must. One of them loves to pee OUTSIDE the box no matter how high the sides. I have a few boxes I can't use now. I even bought one of those pretty, furniture pieces with the hidden litter box inside, along with the not so cheap matching trays for them to 'wipe their paws on'. He would still find a way to go outside the litter pan and onto the wooden floor of it, and to make it even worse, completely outside of it onto the paw wiping tray. YELCH!

So now I have the hooded litter box inside the hidden piece of furniture and the door swings easily for them to get in and out, that is if I don't put it too close to the opening. He got stuck a couple times but that was my fault. The hood latches well to the bottom and easily unlocks. I like the sliding latches. That was different. … more

I bought this last summer, and every time I go to move it, i’ve thought to myself “someday this handle is going to pop off”...... today, i spoke that worry aloud to my dad while carrying it. no joke, 2 seconds later, it popped off, sending the litter box plummeting down 3-4 feet. i’ve never believed in the power of the jinx before today. i wouldn’t be leaving a review if it weren’t for the fact that the impact caused the box to CRACK! this is basically the only option for a hooded XXL litter box, so i’m annoyed that the plastic wasn’t sturdy enough to endure the blast. hopefully sealing it with gorilla tape gives me some more time with it.

I got a 10 lbs DLH rescue that had used covered and uncovered litter boxes. I was hoping to keep the door down so litter would stay in the box, but the one and only accident he's had was when the door was down (he doesn't seem to realize he can push the door to get inside). So I have to keep the door up, but thankfully the design easily allows for that. An additional reason to keep the door up is the litter box doesn't seem to be big enough for his taste; he likes to stick his head out of the litterbox while doing his business. I'm really glad I went with a covered litterbox though since he definitely slings the litter. The only way the litter gets out is when he insists on jumping I got a 10 lbs DLH rescue that had used covered and uncovered litter boxes.

It's been easy to take apart and clean as well as staying together when I've had to move it with litter. … more

This door is too long and it catches on the rim. I'm currently keeping the top (that opens for you to clean the litter) propped slightly up to make it so my cats are even able to get in and out but every time they use it you can hear it hitting and catching on the bottom. I left their old litter box out while they adjusted and they rarely use this because they have to work so hard to get in and out. I'm going to have to take the door off entirely to make this useable at all, which defeats the purpose and I would have spent my money on a different box in that case.

My cat always kicks out her litter I find and also pees in a corner. I have tried a few litter boxes. This one is fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The squareness of it and the size make it perfect for her. I am so happy with this hooded litter box. Ordered another hooded one that was oval shaped and gave it to someone else, as it was hard to clean. Am so happy I tried this one. VERY happy cat and owner here,finally. So easy to clean as well.

I left a review of this on another account originally with very high praise. Unfortunately, I cannot edit the review, which is why I'm posting it on a new account associated with another email. I apologize for not waiting longer to leave the review. I was simply thrilled at first because it seemed to be perfect and didn't leak for the first week or so. I will say that this is still better than other boxes I have tried, but it could use some improvements. I bought 5 of these several months ago for a VERY high peeing foster cat. He pees above the seam and the seams still leak. Not every time, but enough to make it annoying. I have another cat who also pees right on the seam. They either need to I left a review of this on another account originally with very high praise.

He pees above the seam and the seams still leak. Not every time, but enough to make it annoying. I have another cat who also pees right on the seam. They either need to make the seams higher up on the box or they need to have some sort of easy to remove/clean gasket so they won't leak. My mediocre solution is to cut some strips of pee pads about 6" wide by the length of the pee pad, fold it in half (pee pad side out) and tuck it around the edges, making sure to tuck it up under the lip and using binder clips to clip it all the way around. It is the best solution I could come up with without spending even more money and without completely losing my mind (now I am only partially losing my mind). It still isn't an ideal solution because unless the pee pads are completely full of urine, I can't tell if they need to be changed without completely removing them.  I also have pee pads under each box as a just in case. With all this said, this is the best option I have found so far. It's huge and gives plenty of space for large cats. My third cat doesn't have any issues with the box, but she's also a perfect pee-er and doesn't do anything weird like stand as tall as she possibly can. So, if you have a normal cat who pees the way they should, this box is for you. If you have a high pee-er, this might be your best option, but heed the seam leak warning. … more

First, the clear door doesn't swing/ fit properly which tends to get stuck sometimes when coming out. Material of the box feels cheaper, and the top and bottom piece don't want to fit together securely unless really forced too. Second, my cat tends to pee a bit higher on the sides of litter boxes. I saw tons of comments along with the description saying that between the double slider locks and overlapping mechanism, this will prevent urine from leaking out or getting in between the top/bottom seam. But within the first week urine was already leaking out of the box from different areas in the seam. Thankfully I had a mat underneath to catch it!

As for keeping the dust down I give it 4 stars. It is a little difficult to see inside while the flip door is in the up position. I lay my cell phone flash light on top to light up inside to clean. I know the top is removable but the latches are a little hard to slide for us old folks. However, it is much better than what I had prior.

Roomy and spacious. Cats adapted quickly and have been using it about 2 weeks but i have held on attaching the transparent door flap. I will probably attach it some time over the next week and see how it goes. I like the big rounded handle, no sharp or thin edges. Fits nicely in a corner. Does help keep fresh #2 odor down. I will probably purchase a second one for my sunporch for summer.

I searched & searched for the biggest cat litter box I could find that is covered and has a door for my senior cat who is starting to pee just outside the box because he's not going inside far enough. This is the largest covered box I could find and so far it is perfect. This thing is BIG, and I LOVE that you don't have to take the whole lid off to clean it - you just bring the middle portion up and over itself and have plenty of room to scoop inside. When you do need to take the lid off, the 4 locks slide open easily and are very secure when in the locked position. I was worried about having issues with the door getting stuck with the cat inside and it not being able to push out (saw many reviews I searched & searched for the biggest cat litter box I could find that is covered and has a door for my senior cat who is starting to pee just outside the box because he's not going inside far enough.

I was worried about having issues with the door getting stuck with the cat inside and it not being able to push out (saw many reviews about this), which seems to happen if the middle portion is not aligned properly when you put it back down - but I just don't snap it completely down and it swings just fine and only leaves a tiny gap of a few millimeters between the door and the bottom edge. Also saw reviews about cats playing with the carbon filter on top, but *knock on wood* my mischievous little 2.5 year cat old that plays with EVERYTHING has left it alone. I love that the front end has little grooves to hold your bag while you clean the litter so you can scoop directly into the bag without any mess spilling out. This thing is AWESOME and well worth the price. Chewy also had the fastest shipping for this product and it came in 3 days as opposed to over a week everywhere else (& came in perfect condition). I am so happy with this purchase. … more
