Petmate Top Entry Litter Pan

I really liked this box, but an odor lingers in the litter or plastic after awhile. I think if the box was treated with an antimicrobial agent it could be a better product. I have owned other top entry boxes with a lid and they did not smell like this. They did not have a grate type lid either. I don’t know if that is the main difference or not. At first I had issues with getting the lid to stay attached to the box when I cleaned it, but over time it started to stay in place. Even after bleaching the box the odor will come back, otherwise this was a great box for my cat who stands to pee. The litter in the box was easy to clean and the bottom of the box didn’t get discolored or scratched up.

I bought this to prevent litter from getting everywhere, turns out my cat would zoom out of her litter box. I haven't seen her use it in the week or two that we've had it, but she accepted it after just a few hours! I have seen zero litter on the floor, small amounts in the lid. One small complaint is that the lid comes off super easily, but it does make it easier to dump the litter back in.

These are the best litter boxes out there! I have been using them for years and have never had a problem with them. I recommend these for any cat household and especially those with multiple cats. Easy to clean, very durable and last forever!

Its basically a plastic storage container with a hole cut in the top, the lid doesn't even come close to fitting tightly so whenever you move it or the cat jumps on it the lid almost slides off, need to tape it down just to keep it in place. It still works (its just a box, how could it not work), but it would have been cheaper to buy a $10 container and just cut a hole in it myself.

I’ve tried adding old litter, attracting litter and such but my three cats refuse to use this! I’m so sad too because the two kittens are diggers and litter gets everywhere in conventional litter boxes.

I love this litter box for many reasons. The container is made with sturdy plastic - it's not flimsy at all. I like the high sides so litter doesn't end up everywhere. I like the feature of being able to put a lid on it. The hinge feature doesn't really work, but that's not a big deal. My cats like to have the cover off - I think the odor stays trapped in the litter box if the lid is on, and my cats don't enjoy that. I have 3 cats, and bought one box for each of them. I left one without the cover, and the other 2 with. That day the cats only used the box without the lid. So I took the lids off the other two, and it's working out great! Highly recommend.

This is a nice, compact, sturdy litter box. The lid stays attached an flips open for cleaning. The only place I could place it was in my dining room. I feel the bathrooms humidity make the litter smell quicker. It's a lot nicer to look at instead of an open box and less litter ends up on the floor.

I love this idea of the top entrance. The box is too small for an adult cat. They can still use it but I wish it was bigger. It's hard to scoop out the poop.

I have two small dogs who love the cat litter I use. I was concerned if my cats would take to a top entry box. Thankfully after introduction, they use it without any issue. It keeps the dogs out and makes such a huge difference with litter tracking. A small amount of litter still gets out but nothing near as much with a regular front entry.

My old top-entry litter box was so hard to open, I would often hurt myself trying to open it. The hinge top on this one is a game-changer! It doesn't really stay attached to the hinges, but it really doesn't matter (you'll see what I mean when you use it!). My 12-lbs cat has no problem using it, and it's definitely cut down on litter tracking in my little one-bedroom apartment.
