IRIS USA Large Top Entry Cat Litter Box, Hooded Privacy, Gray/White

These litter boxes are large, look nice & very durable. My kitten adapted quickly to it as well. Less litter scatter, definitely. I ordered 2 of them, but one was missing the included scoop. Is there any way I can please have another scoop sent?? It would be greatly appreciated. TY

I HATE the smell of cat pee and poop. HATE it. It's the one and only reason we haven't gotten a cat for all these years. Then, along came our sweet little daughter, who begged to have a cat. What could we do? So I did a lot of research on different cat litter boxes and decided on this one, and it has been a winner! We adopted a 10 week old kitten who was used to feline pine and a regular kitty litter box. We started out with just a regular box and feline pine to get her used to her new house and new kitty litter location. What we noticed is the kitten, while she was tiny, likes to stand up straight while she pees, so it sprays backwards instead of straight down, which made it go over the side of the regular kitty litter box. This is not pleasant. After 2 weeks of using a regular kitty litter box which she was used to, I brought in this Iris box, put it in the same location as her old box, and put in her same litter. I also put in the litter dust from her old box when I cleaned it out, so the Iris box smelled like her scent right away. I did leave her old box in the room but right next to the Iris box for a night just to be sure she knew that this Iris box was for. It worked!! After a few times of setting her inside the Iris box, she began using it like a pro! We have not had one single cat mess in our home. PROS: This box is TALL. I was worried that the kitten wouldn't be able to climb in or out of it due to its size, but that has not been a problem at all. And, the size has been a HUGE plus because the kitten can stand, squat, do her business in whatever angle she prefers, and it's all contained inside the box without spraying out. Also, having a lid on it helps contain the smell. The lid also comes off very easily to clean (my 6 year old cleans it herself without help. This is easy you guys!), and has a lip on it to hang the side of the box while you're cleaning so you don't have to lay the dirty lid on the floor or anywhere else. The lid is sturdy for your animal to stand or sit on, and works well to clean off their feet when they jump out. The inside dimensions are also great, and I know this will give her plenty of space inside as she grows. Lastly, and this is a big one... the dogs and kids can't get to the cat poop. This keeps the kids from messing around with this, keeps water out of the box from rogue bathtub water when the kids get too rowdy in the tub, and keeps the dogs out of the cat's business. And, gives the kitten some privacy. No cat likes a dog sniffing their butt or a child trying to pick them up when they're trying to poop. CONS: The scoop that comes with this is pretty small, but scoops are easy to find and cheap. The rounded sides make it difficult to push the scoop against for leverage to scoop poop out. When we do this, the poop just smears all over the inside. When I clean out the box, I wipe out the entire inside with clorox wipes or wash it out, so it's no problem. But inbetween full weekly washes, it does get smeary. Litter accumulates on the top of the lid. I purchased a tiny little broom and dustpan and brush down the little crumbs daily. I'd much rather have them on the top area than spread all over my carpet. These pieces are easy to clean. This is a fabulous cat litter box. I would gladly purchase again and again! Also, the price on amazon is so much cheaper than buying any top entry cat litter box from a store, and the ones in stores aren't nearly as cute as this one!

This litter box has been a great purchase. It’s spacious, feels sturdy, and does an excellent job keeping litter contained compared to open litter boxes. The top-entry design helps reduce tracking, which keeps the area around the box much cleaner. My kitten had no trouble adjusting to it and actually seems to enjoy using it. I fill it a little over 1/4 full with litter, which gives her plenty of room to dig and cover comfortably. The lid fits securely when closed but is easy to remove when it’s time to clean. It also comes with a scoop, although it’s on the smaller side. I ended up purchasing a larger scoop separately to make cleaning quicker. If you’re looking for a litter box that helps contain mess, is easy to maintain, and gives your cat plenty of space, this one is definitely worth considering. 🐱✨

Good, not low profile but not a obvious litter box. Easy enough to keep clean and is of sturdy build

I have 5 cats and I love this box. I’m about to purchase another one. Keeps the litter in the box. No mess. My only complaint is you really have to wash it out because the smell goes into the plastic. I wish they made a metal one.

We picked this up for a vacation since we needed a second litter box for our cat. We already had one in this style, so it made sense to stick with something familiar. This one is slightly smaller than our other one, but the cat didn’t seem to mind at all. One big advantage with this style—if you have a dog that likes to go “treat hunting” in the litter box, this design helps prevent that. It also feels easier to clean compared to a standard open box. Overall, worked out great for what we needed.

This has been so great! My dog stopped eating the cat crap! And it seems to mask the kitty litter well. It’s easy for my cat to get in and out. I was worried about it tipping. But I keep at least a big box of kitty litter at one time in it at all times, and I haven’t had any problems whatsoever. The only downfalls I hate how the urine sticks to the sides, but it comes right off and it’s hard to scoop out because of the round corners. But I’m not complaining because of that because this is an amazing kitty litter! Seriously, the best one I’ve had! I would definitely buy this again and it’s so durable is a perfect height. It holds a great amount of litter good bang for the buck.

Overall, the QUALITY on this is very good, other than the SCOOPER which is a little too small & flimsy, with slots that are too big to contain small bits of poo (from regular sized cats). Also, it would be better if the corners on the scoop were more rounded to better reach into the rounded corners of the litter box. I use a garbage bag in my litter box and the corners of this scoop can tear it if I'm not careful. The litter box is very STURDY, especially the top. The holes in the top are large enough so that any litter that happens to splash out onto it will get sifted neatly back into the litter box (and not onto the floor) with a slight tilt of the box. Nice! My comments below have more to do with STYLE/ features, as I compare this litter box to a standard side-entry litter box: Pros: 1. Easier to see/ determine when it needs cleaning; no need to either remove the lid or "stand on your head" to peer into the side. You can do a quick "drive-by" look-see. 2. The lid is much FLATTER than a traditional domed lid, so it takes up very little space after you have removed it in order to clean the box. This is good if you are working in very tight quarters, like a bathroom or laundry room. Not a biggie for me, but it might be relevant to your situation. 3. Litter stays better CONTAINED when the cat is in the box trying to cover up their excrement -- I don't know about yours, but my cats have terrible aim! -- since there is no hole in the side of the box for the litter to exit. This is the one very important, good feature of this style box, imo. When they scratch around inside the box, I don't see any litter coming out the top AT ALL. Yaay! I'm finding much less litter on the floor; where I used to have to sweep daily, it's now weekly. Cons: 1. SCOOP is too small and flimsy with slots that are too large, as mentioned before. Scoops are cheap though so it's easy to get another one. From a germ and smell perspective, I can't imagine anyone wanting to hang the scoop on the side of the litter box either. I tried rigging up a way to hang it in a plastic bag but failed. 2. My 2 adult cats JUMP straight out of this box, with paws touching down only lightly at the edge, taking litter with them and straight onto the floor. Granted, it's not nearly as much as when they kicked it out from the side-entry box, but still, I was hoping for no litter on the floor. Maybe I'm just expecting a miracle...? 3. SMELLS seem to waft out the top a bit easier than from a side opening box. This may not be an issue if you have highly perfumed litter, but I found that I was smelling the "perfume" from it all day, which I didn't like, so I went back to clay. it seems like my choice is either to smell awful perfume or pee/ poo...? 4. This style box allows only a much smaller area for the cat to PERCH on, or to SET things on. The cats don't seem to want to perch on it as well, perhaps because they don't like to sit or climb around on the rather large holes, or maybe it's more smelly up there with the large opening so near? I thought of putting a towel up there but I was afraid it might accidentally get shifted and block the cats' entance to the litter box. Not worth the risk! 5. The top is very hard to CLIP and unclip to the box, which offers the advantage of being very secure if you need to carry the thing around, but it just about breaks my nails to get it off, which I find annoying. I hope all this helps! I know this box got great reviews but everybody's situation is different so I thought I would expand a bit on other reviews.

Estos areneros nos gustan mucho , compramos dos. Son resistentes , las gatitas si los usaron desde el primer día , fáciles de limpiar , no arrojan tanta arena fuera , son grandes .

I used non-clumping litter in a flat rectangular tray box for many years. Unfortunately, the price of this litter kept going up and supplies were getting harder to find. I finally decided to get my cat a new box and use the newer litter in preparation for the last bag of old litter. The old box is stained and something that is unusable for anything, so it is destined for disposal after a few decades of use. The new box is great! I dumped a full container of the new litter in and found the scooping wasn't as unpleasant as I thought. The cover captured a few grains of the litter in the top but nothing was spread beyond it. The cat has the privacy we all require, plus the bonus of a much cleaner box that doesn't retain the lingering odours that the old box emitted. My cat adapted easily since I placed the box in the same location as the old one. The area smells so much fresher and I no longer hear the complaints of a cat screaming for a litter change. Now that the transition is complete, we are both happier and if I ever need to move the box up from the basement there is no fear of litter being spread beyond the box. I'm in a house, but I think if I was in an apartment this item would be a necessity to maintain cleanliness. I highly recommend buying this; I bought the cheapest one because the colour didn't matter! It's increased by a few dollars but still worth getting!

good one

La calidad del material es muy buena, los colores son lindos pero lo mejor de todo es que mi baño ya no está lleno de arena por todas partes, no tengo que barrer constantemente y todo está limpio! Con el arenero tradicional barría varias veces durante el día incluso fuera del baño, por que con las patitas se llevaban arena a la habitación contigua aún con los tapetes atrapa-arena. A mis dos gatitas como periodo de adaptación les dejé el arenero habitual y el arenero Iris. Lo adoptaron en uno o dos días y lo hicieron su preferido casi de inmediato. Lo recomiendo muchísimo. Además el precio es bastante bueno. Compré el mediano. Tengo dos gatas y la medida fue perfecta.
