Cat Litter Crystals: Clevercat Top Entry Litter Box Review

Average Reviews:
4.3 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)I've tried several types of litterboxes and this one has been the best by far.Nothing else seemed to keep litter off the floor, but this design has really cut down on the number of times we have to sweep around and underneath the box.We have 2 average-sized cats (9-12 lbs; names Stinky and Number 2), living with us in very small apartment.I know that at least 2 litterboxes are recommended, but this is just not realistic in a place like ours.Anyway, one cat (Stinky) apparently has NO scratch instinct and consistently drops his loads in the box and runs off without covering them up.The other cat (#2) is fastidious.After doing her business she will tidily cover the offender within seconds, then continues to paw at the litter for about 5 minutes, or until someone chases her out.She is also not content to just scratch the litter, but scratches the floor and walls around the box too.With other boxes (including covered ones) we had to live with cleaning up litter around the box everyday, and often she'd eject poop onto the floor (a real problem, and especially nasty when the projectile happened to be a non-litter-encrusted log from the non-scratching cat.After trying all kinds of covers and mats, I finally decided to try the Clevercat.I cringed at spending $30 for what looked like a $5 rubbermaid tub whose lid was corrugated and had a hole in it, and I doubted whether my idiosyncratic cats would accept this contraption as a toilet.They took right to it though, and I have been thoroughly impressed with the results.It is sort of infuriating that it costs so much for such a simple design, but personally I'd rather pay for it than simply cutting a hole in the lid of a bargain tub as another reviewer has suggested.The main reason is that the corrugations in the lid really do seem to trap a substantial amount of litter.Also the hole in the Clevercat has a smooth lip on it that I don't think I could duplicate if I did it myself (i.e. I think I'd end up with a sharp or jagged edge, which wouldn't be good for me or the cats, expecially when working in the vicinity of all that poop).While I haven't tried the liners, I have no desire to either.The box stays pretty clean, and the rounded corners of the box have not made it difficult to scoop in my opinion.Anyway, I think this litterbox is great, and I highly recommend it to those who hate stepping in the cat litter on their floors everyday.
