Really Pleased! (also Omega Paw comparison) This is quickly becoming one of those products I keep raving about to friends and family. I have two senior cats–one 12-pound male and one 6-pound female. I had been using an Omega Paw for about 2 years and really liked the scoop-free hassle. However, my male has started several habits that make it pretty ineffective now, such as not covering his buried treasure and drinking so much water that clumps wouldn’t fit into the tray. Punk. I tried different litters but it made no difference. It’s another kitty conspiracy, really, which is nothing new, but fortunately the female goes in and covers up after him (is this not typical?). Needless to say, since I had to scoop anyway, I wanted something where I could get a little more benefit, such as with not having to take the cover off constantly or being able to see when the box needed changing. I also wanted something with a little more room. While the Omega Paw is bigger than this box by a little bit, most of the interior is taken up by a grate that sifts the litter, making it not-so ideal for large cats and probably a little less sanitary. Aside from that, I do like it but wanted to try something that would be easier for scooping.I saw the Catit box and, since I love their scratcher (also recommend), I figured I’d give it a go. I’m really happy with it so far. Actually, I’ve been pretty impressed. It’s extremely well constructed, even better than the Omega Paw and it’s the best I’ve seen yet. The handle is great and it has more than enough room for them–whether height, depth, or width wise. The smallest is very petite, almost the size of an 8-month-old kitten, but she can even get out of it with ease. I think the carbon filter, while a bit messy when installing, is a great feature and it does help with residual smells (not so much right after they go). So far, mine haven’t tried to kill it, but they have their scratcher thingy. The filter also appears to be pretty inexpensive on here.I loved the fact that it has a convertible top, which is likely my favorite feature and the main selling point for me. This makes it extremely easy to check when it needs to be changed in my fairly dark restroom area, and it helps with being able to sift without having to take a hood off or stick your hand inside–something I really don’t like, being a huge germaphobe. I can even add more litter without removing the hood, which is great since I am most lazy. While big in size, I don’t feel that it takes over my tiny space where the box sits in, next to the toilet and shower stall, and less litter comes out–though it’s not going to 100% prevent it. The color is also nicer and a bit more taupe than in the picture, which I prefer.The other feature I really loved while browsing was the clear door–both for the sake of preventing odors and when it came to preventing less litter from being scattered. It also allows you to see in without having to lift the hood. My cats, of course, did not want to use the box without the door since they never had one before (and the better to torture me with), so I left it off for a week, keeping the lid bearing the carbon filter folded down up top. I just tried it again tonight to see if they would use it, now that they’ve been using the box longer. While the more adventurous female hasn’t tried yet, due to prioritized napping, the extremely timid male, who would normally be the one not to go for it, got right in. Thrilled! Especially since he is the odor culprit and prone to going right after I sift tut. I also don’t smell a dang thing, even though I know he just did the stenchy bit. So I’m even more happy about it and the fact that fallout won’t be wafting into my bedroom area. Finally. Therefore, I definitely recommend trying the door later if your cat doesn’t take to it immediately. Other than that, I’m very pleased and highly recommend. ��
