Modkat Top-Entry Litter Box - Reduces Litter Tracking, Swivel Lid for Easy Cleaning, Leak-Proof, Dog Proof - Includes Scoop & Reusable Liner White

When we moved, we bought new litter boxes. We have three. In the Nuthaus, they were in the bathroom, our bedroom, and the unused fireplace (with half a curtain hanging in front of it for privacy and looks). Fortunately, here at Vogelfutter we have been able to move two of them to the bathrooms (one in a closet) and one in the laundry room. Let me explain what my life looked like during the past few months at the Nuthaus: We had three covered/lidded litter boxes, with swinging doors for the cats' entries. One of our cats thought she had a UTI, and thus behaved as though she did (this is a thing cats can do; like, she was diagnosed with what's basically hypochondria, but cats can actually make themselves really sick, and she was even bleeding a little bit, but there was no physical reason). She was visiting the litter boxes 30+ times per day, often in rapid succession, one after another. When I woke up, I'd have to sweep the bathroom floor before I could use the restroom, because Mal would want to crawl around and there was litter everywhere. Much of the time when I was... doing my business... I'd have to be REALLY exaggerated in making faces and saying, "Ewww! Don't put your hand in there! It's DIRTY! That's where the cats poop! YUCK!" Unfortunately, this typically backfired, as Mal thought it was hysterical and would reach inside, anyway. We'd go into Mal's room, and there would be cat litter on the crib mattress, as that's a favorite resting spot for the kittehs. So I'd swipe that off and have to sweep his floor, too. Later, when Mal bored with playing in his room after diaper change, he'd crawl back to our room to make sure his dad got up in time for work. I'd have to run in there and sweep our room so he wouldn't track through the litter. Then, during the day, I'd sweep the whole house at least once, and the areas around the litter boxes two or three additional times. And I'd vacuum. There was litter on the mantel, the coffee table, the bookshelves, and window sills. It felt like a constant battle, and I was exhausted. I hated the cats. I wanted them to disappear. Then there was that Mal liked to pull up on the litter boxes, and they were filthy. They all had filters in the top, to keep the smell from getting out, but that meant that there were lots of nooks and crannies where dust and old litter and cat hair could collect. We cleaned them regularly, but they always looked dusty and were dirty. Also, Mal sometimes decided that banging on the top wasn't enough, and he'd reach in, like that punch game on "The Price is Right." I don't think he ever retrieved a treasure, but it was just a battle to try to keep his hands out of that stuff! (I guess it looks a lot like a sand box with which he *could* play, now that I ponder it.) So. Before we moved, we looked at the Modkat Litter Box. You can see all of the features on the website, so I won't do a repeat here. Also, you might notice that right now the boxes are on sale for the low low price of $171! Now, when we bought them, they were the full $180. No, we're not suckers. Yes, we asked ourselves, "Is anything worth spending almost $600 on litter management?" Then James asked me something, and in the throes of dealing with this, I did not hesitate with an affirmative answer: "Over the next two years, will it be worth it not to have to fight Mal?" And we went for it. We've been here just over a month. What do I think? First, let me tell you what we did: 1) We didn't get black. The black boxes look so sleek, but one of the reviews I read said that even "dust-free" cat litter left dust on the plastic, making it look dirty. I got one red, figuring that if it looked janky, I could move it into the laundry room. Actually, you can see a thin film of dust on it, but it's not too noticeable, and I like how it looks in our bathroom. But white looks the nicest. 2) We made a commitment to clean out the boxes every day. I just did all three, and it took 3.5 minutes, including the time it took me to get a second bag because the first one was torn. So we're looking at spending half an hour or so a week on scooping out the boxes. BONUS... 3) Since we clean out every day, there aren't huge messes, and we haven't had to dump and refill yet. We top off every week or so, but I bought a 42-pound bag of litter before we moved in, filled each box, and we've been topping off... and we still have about 1/3 of the bag left. I was buying 14-17 pounds of cat litter EVERY WEEK because we were emptying it and starting over every weekend. 4) We use Fresh Step Multi-Cat. I hate clay litter. I love pine litter. However, when we lived in the trailer, we had awful fruit flies with the pine. Apparently, that just happens because there are larvae in it and they hatch and become... icky. We had the corn mix at Nuthaus for a while, and it got everywhere. Same with the really fine and "light" litter. We landed on Fresh Step Multi-Cat because it works best. I seriously think we've tried everything over the past couple of years. 5) We feed the cats a high-quality, no-filler food that cuts down on digestive waste. Better for the cats, easier for us. Probably a wash in the cost department, since they don't eat as much. (But, yes, it hurts spending more per pound on cat food than I do on some - most - of our meat.) So. Thursday is my day to sweep and mop all of the hard floors at Vogelfutter. Obviously, I touch-up sweep more regularly, but not necessarily every day. And certainly not multiple times per day. The boxes have cut down on tracking immensely. Like, I don't hate the cats anymore. I don't want to snuggle up with any of them, but I don't actively want them to pack their bags and get out, either. The other people around here seem fond of them. The boxes take up less floor space than the other boxes we had. Their footprint is smaller, but they are taller, and there is plenty of room for the cats. Also, they are basically square, with no stick-outy parts, like where the lid to the other boxes hinged on, etc. The boxes are sleek, with no place for dust and litter to collect. If litter gets on the lid, you can either sweep it back into the box with the brush on side of the scoop (each box comes with its own, so you don't have to lug one dirty scoop all over your house), or just open the lid and the litter falls back in. There is no way for the litter to fall off of the lid onto the floor unless maybe you were trying reallllly hard. Because the boxes are so deep, my toddler cannot reach the litter. This is not to say that he can't see it, and that he can't drop things into the open hole. Oh, yes, he can. But I typically just wait until he's on to something else, remove the offending item, scald it, and am grateful that the child can't grab a handful of doo. Another benefit of cleaning the boxes every day is that whatever ends up in there usually just ends up with some clay granules on it. Nothing too disgusting so far. Some of the reviews talk about how the boxes don't hold in the smells. I guess they don't, but I've only noticed a smell coming from one of the boxes (in the laundry room) one time since we moved. I'm guessing a cat had just gone, but that's also the most popularly-located box, and the most humid room, so it has a lot standing against it. Personally, I think it's better for the cats because the smell doesn't build up inside. We have one cat who will poop in the floor in front of the box if the odor in the box is not to her liking. That hasn't happened since we moved. (Again, probably also a function of our cleaning every day.) The boxes have rubber feet, so if your cat is particularly enthusiastic about exiting the box, they're still not going to push it across the floor. Oh, no one else has cats that do that? Hmm. Must be nice. So, all in all, my take is: Yes, it's freaking ridiculous that the litter boxes cost as much as they do. But we did a lot of research, and there's nothing that matches both the function and the look of these. I mean, you can throw $40 at a Clevercat top-entry box, but it's freaking huge and looks like you just sawed a hole in a storage container. Plus... so many nooks. So many crannies. In the end, we were fortunate to be able to afford these, and I can tell you that my quality of life as a stay-home mom has improved immeasurably. Love them. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

I also purchased an IRIS top entry litter box which I use in an upstairs bathroom. I purchased two of these which are placed side-by-side in my laundry room. The room is space-challenged and these boxes happen to be the perfect dimensions for my available space. I bought the gray. It's a nice medium gray color. I've been using them now for about a week. I managed to find them on sale shortly before Christmas, so I jumped on it. At full price, they are expensive for what they are. The cats like them, they are easy to clean and they look nice. They definitely reduce litter tracking. The IRIS top entry that I have reduced the litter tracking greatly and I would say this litter box is slightly better than that one. I should mention that I have been using Fresh Step Clean Paws litter in all my boxes (it's larger grains and heavier to reduce tracking as well). Also, the lid closure and tensile strength of the lid is very good. If your cat can fit in the box, it will have no trouble supporting their weight. Liners...after reading many reviews on the subject, I was actually pleasantly surprised. My husband and I have both noticed that the urine clumps don't stick to it and pop right out without breaking apart. It has actually made scooping easier which I did not expect. Since I'm not having clumps explode as I attempt to chisel them off the bottom of the pan, the scooper (despite the large holes) has been fine and makes it quick and easy to sift. I've read that as the liners age, they become problematic. So far, I kind of like them. I will update later, because I am waiting to see how long they last and if the cost of replacing them is worth it. Overall, I am very happy with this litter box. It's living up to my expectations.

The box arrived on time. I have tried the traditional litter box with a lid as my cat is messy with kicking up the litter, so a loud head always been necessary. This is my first cat and I have 2 dogs. I never knew dogs love cat poop as a snack?!? Completely gross ... tried a more circular/dome litter box, the dog's head still could fit in to get those irresistible snacks ... uggh! Looking for yet another litter box to help with this problem... then I saw Modkat! I thought this would be great, I can put on a small, low table and the dogs couldn't reach. This worked perfectly. I have it set up on the box it came with until i can find the right size/ height table. Let me back up a little now... When I first got the new litter box set up, my cat wasn't sure what to think about it. Once I read up in switching litter boxes (this is my first cat ever - always had dogs), I put the "old poop" in the new box and gently placed him on to of the box several times, letting him jump off when he wanted to (didn't force his new box) After about 1 day and going this he would jump into the box and wouldn't go to his old box, Hooray for the transition! A few more details.... 1) very compact! Other left boxes are soo bulky! This would be great for any space even those tiny houses that are so popular! Side note, my cat used to roll around in the kitty litter boxes or just hang out- it drive me a little crazy. With this box, he does his business and gets out. 2) comes with a great scooper - not cheap or flimsy 3) love the liner- take it outside after old litter emptied then rinse and air dry (I'm in AZ - it's a dry heat) so much easier than the whole box having to get cleaned and the box doesn't get scratched so the box itself doesn't retain the odors! 4) holes on top help keep most of the litter in but I think (again first cat ever owned) the kitty litter is a little messy with any litter I've used and box. When i say first cat, I would like to say i have tried at least 10 litter brand at least (my cat's - not picky so he lets me try anything) and 4 cat boxes. This box is the last one I have to buy... still trying new litter?!? My cat is not a huge cat nor a small cat. He is full grown and long but has no problem getting in or out if this box.

je l'ai depuis 4 ans et le bac est toujours en très bon état. J'ai désormais 3 chats avec 3 bacs à litières différents, ils apprécient particulièrement ce bac. Je pense réinvestir prochainement dans un bac Modkat, des qu'un de mes vieux bac sera inutilisable. Les sacs intérieur sont plus solides désormais.

Lo uso da diversi mesi (acquistato per impedire al cane che soffre di pica di mangiare la sabbietta). Il prodotto è veramente molto costoso, se non fosse stato che non potevo farne a meno non credo che lo avrei preso, nessun pezzo di plastica può giustificare un costo così elevato. Esteticamente è molto bello, robusto, non si ribalta, la grata in alto solida per un gatto di circa 5 kg. Per adesso non ho ancora dovuto sostituire il sacco interno, non ha lacerazioni però.... quando la lavo con il disinfettante come facevo con le altre lettiera rimane un po' la puzza di urina sul telo, cosa che prima non accadeva, sarà la trama che assorbe? Non so.. è un telo come le buste ikea Aggiornamento dopo più di un anno: Ancora robusto e intatto nonostante il gatto sia passato a quasi 6 kg.. anche il telo è quello originale, ho risolto il problema di pulirlo: lo sciacquo sotto l'acqua e poi lo metto in lavatrice lavaggio rapido con un po' di detersivo da bucato e disinfettante, centrifuga 1200 rpm inclusa. Il telo non si deforma, esce pulitissimo e senza sforzi! Devo dire che anche se è costato.. ne vale la pena, è bello da vedere e non ho più sabbia in giro per casa. Anche se il mio cane purtroppo non c'è più se dovesse rompersi lo ricomprerò.

Obwohl das Produkt m.E. überteuert ist, gibt es von mir Bestnoten (und wer mich kennt, weiß, dass es das für mich als kritischer und sachkundiger Verbraucher äußerst selten gibt). Warum? Ich habe jahrelang nach einer passenden Lösung für mein Katzenproblem gesucht, insbesondere auch hier angepriesene Produkte ausprobiert, wie z.B. patentierte Spezial-Unterlagen etc. etc. ... alles hat bisher nichts geholfen, alles letztendlich unnötige Fehlkäufe. Meine Katze hat es bisher irgendwie immer geschafft nach dem Toilettengang das Katzenstreu in der ganzen Wohnung zu verteilen. Des Öfteren lief sogar Urin aus der seitlichen Einstiegsklappe raus, jedenfalls gab es immer eine riesen Sauerei.... Durch den clever gestalteten oberen statt seitlichen Einstieg gelangt jetzt nichts Ungewolltes mehr nach draußen, außer natürlich die Katze selbst, und die hat das Klo sofort angenommen und dem alten auch sofort vorgezogen. Der Inlay ist m.E. auch völlig überteuert, aber auch hier ist die Qualität top, meine Katze wütet und kratzt jedesmal in der Toilette rum als gäbe es kein morgen mehr, der Inlay hat das bisher gut ausgehalten, jede andere Plastiktüte wäre schon längst in tausend Fetzen zerrissen. Nebenbei ist das Katzenklo auch noch ein wahrer Hingucker, äußert elegant ! Ich würde sagen der Apple unter den Katzenklos :-) : Schick, funktional aber teuer ...

Habe das moderne Katzenklo von amazon warehouse als gebrauchten Artikel gekauft. Amazon ist in seinen Angaben absolut zuverlässig ehrlich! In der Beschreibung war zu lesen, dass Klo war deshalb auf 141 Euro reduziert, weil die Verpackung an einer Stelle eine kleine Delle hatte, die in keiner Weise die Unversehrtheit des Artikels minderte. Genau so war es dann auch. Auch war es für mich mit der Kulanz von amazon ein sicherer Einkauf mit 30 Tagen Rückgabefrist. Das Modko sah wie neu aus und gefiel mir sofort. Sehr stabiles Plastik, formschön, passte sehr gut zu meinen Möbeln. Das wirklich bedauerlich Blöde war, dass meine 3 ausgewachsenen Hauskatzen überhaupt nicht meine Begeisterung teilten. Katzen sind Gewohnheitstiere und was die nicht kennen, rühren die meistens nicht an. Empfehlen tue ich allen am Kauf Interessierten, bei erwachsenen Katzen, die vorher nur Haubenklos nutzten, das ModKat ohne den Deckel als offenes Klo anzubieten und wenn die Katzen sich daran gewöhnt haben, den Deckel drauf zu geben. Ideal ist das Modko für kleine Katzen. Da gibt es keine Probleme, die gewöhnen sich dann gleich an diese Art Katzenklo. Zum ersten Mal gesehen, hatte ich dieses Modko bei einer BKH Züchterin und die dicken großen BKH Katzen sind alle auf diese Modko gegangen. Auch wenn meine Katzen leider anderer Meinung waren, ich bin begeistert von diesem Klo! Danke an amazon für die kulanten Bedingungen.

Best cat litter box ever. Also, the customer’s service is excellent!
