But I do really love these new boxes. They were a little expensive, but so worth it. They're a perfect example of Rules to Live By #2: Think vertically, and make having cats so much easier on the cleaning front, too.
Picture a plastic tub with a snap-on lid with a kitteh-sized hole in it. Simple, but brillant. They're actually called "Clevercat," and don't think that didn't give me pause. "Crap! What if our cats aren't smart enough to use them?" But even our cats were able to hop in the opening in the top of the box, do their stinky little business, and hop back out.
Due to the top entry hole, there's no way Miss Cider can whiz out the back as she used to have the nasty habit of doing, poor thing. The top of the box also has ridges on it which acts as a great mat, trapping the litter from their paws. No more litter scattered all over the laundry nook floor! This also means no additional space is taken up by its "footprint" due to a mat out on the floor next to the box.
And since the lid snaps on the very top, there is no seam midway to get all gucky like most covered boxes. Nor can Master Newton kick litter and poo out of the hole, as he used to like to do. Malicious and adorable, isn't he?
The box came with liners (and they sell refills) but we find that it works fine without them. We got ours at PetSmart for about $30 and they're also available on the company's website. All hail the mighty litterbox!
