Catit Jumbo Hooded Cat Pan

I just bought 2 of these and as many other reviewers have stated, the doors do not swing back and forth to allow easy access in and out. Not an easy DIY fix either as the plastic is super sturdy and not at all bendable (a plus otherwise). Bummer since our cats are used to the swing-door litter boxes, and unfortunately these doors will have to be removed if they’re going to use the boxes. Other than that the jumbo size is great, the plastic is sturdy, and it was easy to put together so I don’t foresee other issues.

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

I bought the Catit Hooded Jumbo litter box online and had it delivered March 2021. It arrived in good condition. All of the stickers were easily removed. We have 2 fairly large cats and it is large enough for them to share. I scoop the clumping litter once a day by carrying it a few feet and lifting it to a low table. The plastic is somewhat rigid so it doesn’t flex which gives it a sturdy feel. The clips holding the cover on are secure so I don’t worry about it coming apart. Part of the cover lifts which makes it easy to scoop and to add litter without removing the hood.

The bottom of the box is flat and smooth with straight sides which makes scooping easy. I removed the filter because our cats clawed at it as is it were a toy. Otherwise I like everything about this litter box. … more

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.

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!

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

I purchased this box because I have a leggy male who ends up peeing against the top of the box. I purchased it to be a back-up box in case one of the cats got sick and they had to be separated. I found the side snaps on the top to be ridiculously complicated to open and when I went to clean the box after the 3rd use, the bottom cracked (it is made of that hard, brittle plastic). So I would say don't buy this item. Not worth it.

I was so excited to get this as it looked high quality. Maybe the tiger striped box is made of better plastic but the gray one is soooo cheap. The door, which is the main reason I bought it, doesn’t even work. It gets stuck and you have to push hard to get in and push harder to get out. Is the cat supposed to use their head? Shouldn’t it swing easily?

I have a 20+ pound cat that hates using small litter boxes. This is the second Catit box that I’ve purchased. I’ve never had any issues with leaking. They hold more litter for sure. The filter doesn’t last long because the cats usually chew it since it’s larger than most and more noticeable. Still no complaints from me. I highly recommend for pets that require a little more room.
