IRIS Top Entry Cat Litter Box

I was a little nervous to purchase this litter box due to many recent reviews saying the one they received was defective because the top wouldn’t snap into the holes at the bottom. Unfortunately mine also arrived this way, but I spent ~10 minutes pushing outward on the side that wouldn’t snap in. Since it is plastic, the part of the lid that snaps into the hole was pretty easy to bend out enough to where it would actually snap into the hole on the bottom piece. it’s worked perfectly ever since and my cat loves it! I also love that you don’t even have to take the lid off to scoop it, the hole at the top is plenty big to reach in and scoop the whole thing! definitely buy, and don’t stress if yours I was a little nervous to purchase this litter box due to many recent reviews saying the one they received was defective because the top wouldn’t snap into the holes at the bottom.

I purchase the large one and the medium one. My cats took to the medium as soon as I put litter in it. Was not sure if the kitten would be able to get into it. He was the first one into it. Perfect to put this one in the car for tips to the vets. Our dog can not get in to this one she is a Sheltie, larger dogs maybe. When it comes time to replace your old litter box try this one you too will love it.

We’ve had both the medium and the large, because one of our kittens grew really quickly. I love this litter box. Took our cats no time at all to figure out how to use it. Seems to help contain litter and smell. We use it with the Naturally Fresh walnut pellet litter and the microfiber mat (with a mouse design). Also, it’s pretty. We live in a very small apartment, and it’s just out in the open. I don’t hate looking at it when I’m in the room. The large did arrive with the lid-fitting problem some others described, but as others described, Chewy was amazing and we had a replacement in 3 days. We are donating the medium one and the slightly damaged one to shelters in our area as they suggested We’ve had both the medium and the large, because one of our kittens grew really quickly.

I have been in search of the perfect litter box for YEARS! One that my dogs couldn't get into and one that my male cats couldn't sit on the edge of and pee underneath or spray. This is hands down the best litter box I have found. I just ordered a third one, so I have now replaced all three litter boxes with this model. It keeps everything contained within the litter box and the dogs leave it alone :)

Cute lookin' isn't it? Well I ordered it twice to give IRIS a chance. No dice. This lid does NOT STAY UP if you put ANY weight on it, never mind a cat... You would think they would test them but apparently some people must keep stuff they will never use...or throw it into recycle, wasting hazardous oil and petroleum plasti-trash products. IRIS should test AND recall the whole lot or make the PAW PEGS longer!

I got this litter box for my new kitten. I just left it behind his temporary one and let him figure it out on his own with some encouragement. Once he got the hang of it I removed this temporary one and he's used it ever since! Great size and works amazing at keeping the litter in the box. The ridged top works nice at keeping the litter from coming out. I still use a litter matt but for the little amount of the litter that leaves the box I can't complain.

I initially liked this litter box - looks good, cats like it fine - they're used to the top entry boxes. However, I've had it for less than 6 months and the plastic is actually shredding - as in, thin layers of plastic (thin garbage bag thickness) are peeling off the inside in many places. It makes it very difficult to clean as litter, dust, poop, etc are getting trapped. My cats are pretty efficient in the litter - not a lot of excessive scraping or scratching, so I don't know what is causing the issue - plastic should not shed layers like this. Also - the round shape makes it difficult to dump out the old litter because it's hard to hold on to (I have the large one - the small one might I initially liked this litter box - looks good, cats like it fine - they're used to the top entry boxes.

I like the fact that the scoop has a little hook for hanging, though. … more

Who knew litter boxes could be “pretty”? It’s definitely a much better way for Quill to do his business than a simple box I have to stare at constantly! He also took to it immediately, zero problems with locating his potty box (note: I introduced it to him in conjunction with a cat-attract clay litter, and manually picked him up, set him inside, and said, “this is your bathroom now!”). I also don’t have the litter-tracking problems traditional boxes create, phew!! Quill can dig and kick to his heart’s content and it all stays inside, and the grooves on the lid DO help him clean his toe-beans before he goes off to play or nap. My only “buyer beware” is that it’s WAY bigger than my mental visualization Who knew litter boxes could be “pretty”?

My only “buyer beware” is that it’s WAY bigger than my mental visualization estimated! Obviously it needs to be roomy for a cat to be comfortable in, so idk what I was thinking honestly, but in a studio apartment it’s been difficult to find That Perfect Spot given the box’s size. HOWEVER, it matches the decor so well, it doesn’t look bad no matter where I put it! … more

Litterbox works great to contain pee from my kitten that has recently started standing as she's going, BUT one of the sides does not lock into place securely so every time her "big brother " went to jump in the lid fell in with him (a few strips of gorilla tape keeps it in place but need new tape every time take the lid off to dump the whole box). Thankfully I have another large litter box he can use but I definitely wouldn't buy another one from this brand like I was planning on doing.

Worried about ordering too small of a litter box, I decided to get the large size. It was huge! Too big for my tiny apartment, unnecessarily large for my small cat, but not a defect of the product itself. The issue I immediately ran into was that the lid doesn't sit right on the box. It looks like it should snap right in, but it won't, so it's unstable (see picture – if I adjust the lid to fit there the other side just falls right out). I just read another review about the lid not staying put; maybe it was a defective batch or inconsistent product quality, who knows. On the bright side, Chewy support was incredibly quick at resolving the issue.
