We bought this box when our old one was getting too worn in the bottom to even clean thoroughly. It was the same brand (Van Ness), and we were happy with the quality of our old box, so looked for a new one by the same company.
First off, this is a very big box. Ask the bruise on my shin, as it took me a while to remember there was a larger box in the hallway! LOL Our two cats share a box, and this thing is really truly big. There is plenty of room
for our cats to stand up, turn around, lean, write their memoirs or read a magazine while in there.
I’ll post photos of our 17.5-pound cat exploring it before we filled it up.
For the first batch, I filled it with half of their current batch of litter (meaning the one in the old box,
with some crumbs of yesterday’s business) and half new to get them used to it.
We did NOT use the swinging door, both because of our box’s location (in a small hallway next to
a bedroom door – we have a small place), and because our big cat is skittish of things
touching him. We think he’d freak out if the door swung back on his fur, and he might not
use the box again. I kept the door, but really doubt we’ll use it.
The translucent isn’t as bad as I thought. By that, I mean I thought we might have to see
everyone doing their business, as well as what business they did, because of the transparency.
As it turns out, the main thin you see is a shadow in the box, and the litter level. That’s about it.
I think both cats enjoy the extra room, because even our bigger cat can stand up if he wants to without
a problem. The entrance is higher than our old box (which sloped down a little). This might be a problem
if you have a cat with limited mobility, but for now, it isn’t a problem for either of our cats, aged
5 and 6. I like the higher entrance, because we have a LOT less litter being kicked out now. It’s a win-win.
Now, I know this isn’t the place to review sellers, but I have to mention that if you buy this from
PetCareRX, be prepared to not only wait awhile for the box, but cross your fingers on the condition it
arrives in. Amazon has spoiled me to expect great customer service and careful packaging. I forget sometimes
that that is not the standard for all sellers. Our box arrived in really bad shape. The one piece of tape
at the top was mostly popped off. One hinge was missing entirely. It wasn’t a huge problem for us, but if
it was in a place where locking the lid was essential, we would have had a problem. It was really surprising
to see how carelessly this item was packaged and shipped. Shame on our seller…not that I did not ding any stars
based on the seller.
but, Van Ness makes a great cat box! I did ding them one star because of the iffy quality of the plastic.
This is MUCH MUCH thinner plastic than our last box. Our other one, you could lift the
bottom even if it was full of litter and a cat. This one bends easily, and would never hold up to being
picked up with litter in it. It isn’t flimsy, per se, but isn’t the same thick box we previously had.
I would never try to pick up the box with litter in it. I was actually surprised by how thin the plastic was,
given the price tag for it. I kept our old one for an extra week, in case this one died right away. So far,
despite feeling extremely thin, it has held up to the cats jumping and scratching without a problem.
I’d doubt we get the long life we got from our last litter box, but so far, we’ve had less mess at the litter
box location, both cats are using it without any problems at all, and it seems easier to clean. (We do just
lift the lid off the box and scoop from there.) It might simply be that our old one had become scratched and
pitted from use and old age, and this one is still nice and smooth.
Either way, we are glad we got this size, and I was happy to see that we got a similar color as in the listing.

First off, I have 6 cats..4 Siamese (3 male, 1 female), a neurotic Havana Brown rescue boy, and a mad Siamese cross (bossy female), I’ll tell you, it’s taken some experimentation to get their toileting just right! After a couple of years of using pine pellets (horse bedding), we changed. The horse pellets were very cheap, and you just put around two cups down. I would remove the solids and flush them, then, when the pellets started to crumble, I would change the trays out, adding the pee-infused pine powder to my compost heap. I have only ever used covered trays and the cats have never known anything else. 18 months ago, one of my male meezers started weeing inappropriately. Medically, he had minor urinary tract issues, which were resolved with Tinkle Tonic and extra, syringed water. BUT he still peed in corners, up the wall (definitely marking behavior), and it was driving us crazy. I kept our boxes spotlessly clean but it made no difference. So.. I decided to forgo the compost benefits and we tried different litters. He stopped peeing outside the box almost immediately! However, two of the boxes we had, which had locating tabs either side of the box, at the join, were leaking through the seam (a problem when you have one cat that stands up to wee!). Also, when you tried to lift the box with the hndle, the top came apart from the bottom so it was definitely time for a change! BTW, the scented litters are a no-no! I developed a skin rash AND respiratory issues whenever I made contact with the darned stuff. We tried the REALLY expensive stuff Dr Elsey’s Cat Attract but it didn’t clump that well, and worked no better than the “dirt” cheap stuff we now use. “Peerless” Pets Scoopable Cat Litter” which comes in 14lb jugs for $4.00 from Big Lots. It clumps wonderfully and seems to be a natural deodoriser. With 6 cats, there is only a little tracking. We have now replaced ALL the old boxes with these large boxes from Van Ness. We HAD tried the Omega Paw Self-Cleaning Litter Box from Amazon, but I have now dumped it after only 5 months as it stinks the place up, even after scrubbing. The boy who pees standing up. He hasn’t been able to pee over the top of the entrance of this Van Ness box yet! I find that the super-smooth finish wipes down wonderfully but, whatever you do, don’t use any abrasive scrubbers or cleaners. For cleaning and deodorising, I have an old “wipes” container that I 1/2-fill with water, then add 2.5 ml of pure Thyme oil. I shake it up and then push in around 30 of the “cloth-like” kitchen towels.. you know, the ones that tear in two pieces? I do that before dropping them in. I give the container a good shake, and, hey presto, an eco- and kitty-friendly cleaning wipe that is really cheap if you buy your Thyme Oil in 250 ml bottles like I do :^) BY the way, I DID remove the cat-flaps on these, as always, as my cats refuse to use them, and bliss.. zero odor, no inappropriate peeing.. life is good :^)
At Our Home We Think –
This is a pretty large litter box. Which is great, since I have a pretty large
cat, and I don’t think he’s finished growing yet.
This works perfectly. It works best when the door is on. I say this only
because my cat has removed the door a few times, and during those times
it became pretty obvious we had a litter box in the house. With the door
on, you’d never know there’s a litter box even in the house!!
The door is not easily removed. I just have a large cat that is still a kitten,
and he gets a notion every now and then to ‘redecorate’, so the door comes off
when he’s ripping into/out of the litter box/through the house. He is Maine Coon
size, appears to be part Maine Coon…. is an orange tabby… For now the litter box
does fit him perfectly.

The fact that the door comes off was a big plus. My cat will not use his head to push it open. It did come with a broken latch, but I did not care as I never latch it down anyway.

El tamaño esta super bien, tengo dos gatos y el macho esta alto y largo y cabe super bien, la altura de la base y la puerta es perfecta para que no se salga la arena al escarbar, me llego bien y completo, la puertita si la levantan mucho se safa, sólo hay que checar eso.

When I first bought this product I wasn’t sure if Iris would use it as it was covered and had a door leaving her isolated inside the box but I shouldn’t have worried as she took to it right off the bat. She loves getting on top of the litter box and sleeping there 🙂 My only complaint is the door is not very good as it fell off almost immediately and wouldn’t stay on after that not that it made any difference to Iris. Definitely an Iris-approved litter box. I will say though that there are cats who absolutely do NOT like enclosed litter boxes and will refuse to use them. But other than that it’s an excellent buy.

This litter box is amazing, very well made, good quality materials, lots of room inside (more than I expected). The only thing that is cheaply made is the swinging door which I take off anyways as most cats don’t like that – I just put a litter mat in front of it. Btw – I put it in a corner which fits perfectly, and unlike any other litter box I’ve had I don’t have to move it away from the wall to undo the lid fasteners which is great.
Price – I checked locally at a number of stores, and all over Amazon – this is the only one I found that has a top and is under $35. I just ordered a second one while I still have the chance to get one.
Ale Ponce –
The product is very flimsy not sturdy. The flap door keeps falling off. Not worth.
