Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I never ever write reviews, so this is a pretty monumental moment. I have a 19 year old female cat that is quite rotund. I adopted her at 5 years and was told her extra weight was baby weight. 14 years of constant dieting did not result in any weightloss until she was diagnosed with early renal failure. I used the Clever Cat box for the past 8 or 9 years with great success. I have a couple little dogs that are particular to "natural cat treats" and the Clever Cat was wonderful in preventing my dogs from foraging in the cat's litter box and containing the litter from being kicked out. I started to notice that my cat was pooping outside her litter box and that her pee clumps were ginormous and stinky. That's when I took her in to the vet and she was diagnosed with early stages of renal failure. I put her on Azodyl which helped with the stinky pees and continued to use the Clever Cat box with a litter trapping mat. I noticed that she would pee immediately upon entering the box near the opening, which made for a huge tracking mess of paw prints all over the house. Yuck. Then Kitty had 3 big pee messes right in front of her box. I guessed that her old age was making it difficult and cumbersome to jump on top of the box every time she needed to go and maybe she was holding it in and her bladder was giving out. I worried a lot about what to do since my two main concerns were litter kicked all over the place and something that would allow for easy entry but big enough to keep her cooch and pee inside the box. I took a chance on this box since her messes had been only days apart and I was desperate to find something easy for her to use which also met my needs. I did a price and size comparison and chose this box since it was one of the biggest and was inexpensive enough to toss if it didn't work. I got the natures miracle pee pads and laid them down under the box in case of my misses. It's been just over a week and this box has worked its magic. My cat has not made a single mess, has not pooped outside the box and has been going pee more frequently. I have noticed that the clumps are spaced out throughout the box and not just at the entrance which means she is comfortable moving around inside the box. There is a little bit of litter kicked out of the box but it's a small annoyance compared to taking a cleaning rag and wiping down the track marks all throughout the house on a daily basis. I have her box in a small closet and angled it so the litter spray would be minimal. I have also noticed I am going through less litter since the switch. I know one solution is not right for all but this box is working for me.
