One of the cheaper models, yet made of thick, heavy plastic, great colour, and with secure and easy to fasten clips on the sides to connect it together. As with all hooded litter trays, you should start off with just the base, then a week or so later add the lid, and then the door flap a week later - all to get the cat used to using this type of tray. The tray is large and with two young cats and a larger older one, I find they all have lots of space to manouver. It's also nice and deep, though the lip at the front is lower than my previous hooded tray - though still high enough. My one anticipated concern (I say anticipated as I have not yet got to the stage of using the door flap yet)

I bought this in burgundy last year as my cat tends to throw litter everywhere and she had a litter of kittens who copied Mum!!Working full-time on long shifts the last thing I wanted to do was come home and scrub the floor plus the smell was terrible. This solved the mess problem beautifully. I bought some carbon filters to put in the top and it controlled the smell nicely too. My only prob being the round piece at the top did tend to fall off. Once the kittens were gone,Mum who is half feral disappeared before I could get her spayed.. Came back heavily pregnant again the other week. Had her kittens in a small igloo I bought also from Amazon.

I wanted to replace our existing hooded cat litter tray as it had got rather grimey and I preferred not to do a deep clean. I thought that might end up my only option until I found this litter tray. It isn’t as robust as the old one and is a shade smaller than I really wanted, but it has four proper clips to hold the top on the base that are good enough to allow you to pick the whole thing up if necessary and move it.It needs some self assembly with the access flap fitting the opposite way to that expected (it works either way for the cat but only hangs correctly one way). There is also a clip that fits under the handle in the top. All straightforward and easy,

I purchased this litter tray for my kitten a few weeks before we got him (Feb, 2017). It arrived in a smaller box than anticipated, as the litter tray lid was inside the base. I popped it together within a few minutes, added litter, and it was ready to go. I recently bought a second one for my cat (who is now 1.5 years) as there was a small hole forming at the base of the tray, in the back corner. I am quite a tidy person, and to be honest, I could of put off buying a new tray for a few more months, however was concerned there would be leakage. I feel as though the reason the hole formed was due to my cat being an indoor cat, and when you use something a few times a day for a whole year and a half,

Thank goodness for litter trays with covers as my kitten hasn't quite got her aim under control and seems to enjoy attempting to dig for Australia or play with the plastic liner. This neatly controls all that. The size is better and though not quite as neat and small as a previous lidded tray we had (which was from the 80's, so that may be why!) it is far less bulky than some I've seen. The 5 month old kitten has loads of room and I suppose as long as you haven't got a large cat it will be fine. The sides of the tray are high - I bought the extra giant litter liners to fit. The door to it isn't very well fitted though, so much that when it was attached it used to hang with quite a large gap.

Bought this for my sister's cat who was making a right mess when digging to use her previous cat litter tray. This is quite a HUGE cat litter tray and would be recommended for someone that has a spacious place. Its a nice colour and it matched the bathroom deco which was a plus. Upon opening the delivery box my sister was quite disappointed to find the top part of the cat litter tray (white part) was full of scratches and dirt. After a good clean the cat was good to go. She was initially scared to go in with the flap in place, so my sister removed it for a couple of hours until her cat was confident enough to go in with it on. Before you know it she was going into the tray while the flap was on and doing her business with no care in the world,

Pros:1. Size of the litter box is big enough to fit three 2-month old kittens at once. My kittens sometimes use this box to play too; lol!2. The handle is sturdy and you can easily lift the litter box if & when needed.3. Color of the box is decent.4. Best part about this box is that it has a got reference line kind of a thing inside (or atleast I think so). Filling up the litter upto this line is recommended for easy scooping, less odor etc.Cons:1. The front door absolutely makes no sense to me, because it is just one way! The cat could get in without an issue, but can not come out because the door is stuck. So, better use it without the door.2. There is this weird cap like thing at the top,

Bought this for my very first cat, 3 month old British Shorthair girl.Researched a lot about litter tray and also was advised to get litter tray with hood so I chose this one.From the very first day when she arrived from breeder, she used this litter tray with hood and never had problem, never missed!All I did was using litter where her breeder used and introduced her to litter.No smell, easy to assemble, use and clean.So I am happy with this product except one thing, the hole and the cover on top.It does keep dropping and once she managed to put her head through the hole but unable to get out and panicked.I am going to superglue the top but wanted to know the reason for the hole....Anyway,

Much bigger than I thought, lovely colour and quick delivery.As yet, I haven't put cat litter in it as I am allowing my cat to adapt to it (she currently is used to a simple box tray), but she is climbing inside it often to explore, so I know she is comfortable and can handle the flap-door.Just a couple of notes:1. When I started to put the two parts together, the top looked as if it might have been a used litter box. I immediately realised this was not the case, but the *minor* marking on the top was a surprise. I've since managed to clean it off.2. At first, it appears the flap-door doesn't fit, as it has a gap almost an inch - had I not read the reviews prior to purchasing I would not have realised that to correct it I only need to turn it around so that the inward dip of the 'flap'

Because it looks like a carrier (complete with a handle on top) it doesn't look offensive in whichever room you put it in. The colour isn't as rich/deep as in the image. The flap, as everyone else has mentioned, is poorly designed with a centre of gravity that doesn't suit the slant of the cut-out in the lid making it hang three inches inside the lid at the bottom. You can fix this with a bit of cheap diy: either attach a weight to the bottom lip of the flap to pull it in line with the cut-out (e.g. fishing weight) or do what I did and loop a plastic tie around the bottom lip of the lid and cut it so about half an inch is sticking straight up. When your cat leaves the litter box,

Have inherited a neighbours cat who has taken up residence in my garden, put box out which cat was living in quite happily but thought it could not carry on living like a hobo. Saw this and purchased, covered handle grip in plastic to stop rain getting in put bedding in and cat is perfectly happy with her new apartment. Wedged under garden furniture to keep in place stopping wind picking it up. Even has cat flap. The cat has never been a house cat and just seems to like my deck and garden as peaceful. Looked at actual outdoor cat houses which were upward of £50 expensive for any cat let alone one that is not yours. Saw these in garden centre for £20 plus, then found this one on here for fraction of price.

Was ordered on Prime, arrived following day in the evening.Kitten now uses it which is fab :-)✔ Tray itself is spacious enough for my kitten to use.✔ Easy clips that can come on and off much better than other more expensive trays✔ Beautiful colour✔ Easy to clean by taking lid off✔ Flap was removed for ease of access (for now). Easily put back on :-)❌ Little circle purple thing was removed as it was of no use really❌ No filters - will still smell so need to clean properly and thoroughly (which is done anyway so no problem for me but may be for others).❌ may be too big for a smaller kitten❌ HORRIBLE PACKAGING! ❌ (main reason for 4 star review)Was sent in a huge box, packaging was half open /

i was a bit skeptical about buying this, will it be another piece of throw away plastic ... ?It was actually ... a good buy !! the colours are 2 shades of purple, the top comes easily away from the bottom, the clips feel sturdy enough. The whole item feels like solid plastic, not bendy at all !! i would clearly rest something on the top and not worry about it collapsing !!The top part comes with a plastic circular disc, u clip this in place and it supposed to stop smells coming out .. ( how this works with the front having a hole witha flap i dont know )Anyways, the cats managed to dis-lodge this within 2 days, so this piece is kinda useless ! neither here nor there really though to be honest,

We were unsure about whether our kittens would take to an enclosed box as had used an open tray for the first few months but ordered one of these as was worth a shot. Best thing we’ve bought for them without exception - we’ve since bought 2 more to replace all the trays we had.The little tinkers can spread litter in a 5 mile radius with an open tray, but apart from a little directly outside the doors now and again, we are now litter fountain free!The boxes were easy to put together, clip the ‘bowl’ bit under the hood, pop some litter in the tray and clip the hood to the tray - job done! They are sturdy, not too big (but big/tall enough for larger cats too), easy to pull apart and wash,

We have two of these trays and my cats prefer them to the other trays that we have and have had. They are good value and sturdy enough for the price. The lid has a circular cut out in it, under the handle. The cats periodically knock it off and it lands in the litter, but I think that's because they are all rather large cats. It's not a problem.They are made of plastic, which means that the cats can scratch it - and they do. Eventually this means that the surface becomes roughened, making it more difficult to clean. This has happened with every plastic litter tray I have ever had, so it is not peculiar to just this brand. It just takes a bit more effort to clean, and never really looks clean anymore.
