Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I never thought I would see the day when I felt compelled to write a review about a litter box, but here I am. I wanted to share my experience to help other cat parents see that this "innovative" litter box isn't for every puss. Previously, we had a large corner litter box for our two female cats—one is 15 pounds and the other is 12 pounds. Cats LOVE to track litter everywhere, so we have been rocking the litter mat for many years as well. Those who have used a litter mat know they aren't perfect either, as they get the job done but can be challenging to clean. Anyway when we moved into a smaller apartment recently, I started shopping for a more tidy and attractive solution. This seemed to check all of the boxes. Other cat parents left glowing reviews about how much cleaner the process was, with litter and excrement dropping back into the magical box. Well, this was the messiest situation we have ever been in. And, our cats are some of the cleanest I've ever met. Long story short...we ended up with cat poop all over our apartment, furniture, and bedding for a week. The final rebellion on Friday was a pee puddle on the cat litter mat (which I ended up purchasing because litter was still being tracked). This type of potty behavior has never happened before with our cats. Though the litter box is easy on the eyes, the logistics are all wrong with this litter box. Cats must step in their own crap to exit through the top...they slip and slide to get out, then spend the rest of the day trying to get their paws clean. I was cleaning the litter box constantly to try to avoid this—not a great way to spend my time when I run my own business. At one point, I had to help our older cat with a washcloth and soap, because everything was caked onto her back foot and she was miserable. I repurchased their standard unsightly corner litter box again. All is well again with the pusses, and with us.
