Our litter box

About the litter box

Materials, size, and what's included.

What is the litter box made of?

It has a stainless-steel base with ABS plastic sides.

How big is it?

It measures 22.83 × 14.60 × 10.24 inches (L × W × H) and weighs 6.62 lb.

Is it suitable for kittens and large cats?

It suits kittens and adult cats. For larger cats, a common guideline is a box about one and a half times your cat's length from nose to the base of the tail, so it's worth measuring your cat.

Does it come with a scoop?

Yes. Each litter box includes a hanging scoop that hooks onto the box, so it's always within reach.

Why choose stainless steel over plastic?

Plastic scratches over time, and those scratches can hold on to odors. Stainless steel is smooth and non-porous, so it doesn't absorb odors the way worn plastic can and is easier to wipe clean. Read our comparison.

Will it stop litter box odor completely?

No litter box can eliminate odor on its own. A non-porous steel base doesn't hold on to odors like worn plastic, so with daily scooping and regular washing, it's easier to keep fresh.

What kind of litter can I use?

You can use standard cat litter, clumping or non-clumping. Most cats are comfortable with a litter depth of about 2–3 inches.

Care

Cleaning and care

A few minutes keeps it fresh.

How do I clean the litter box?

Scoop daily. Every week or two, empty the box, wash the steel base with warm water and a mild, unscented soap, rinse well, and dry it fully before adding fresh litter. See our step-by-step guide.

Which cleaners should I avoid?

Avoid strongly scented cleaners, ammonia-based products, and harsh chemicals, as strong smells can put cats off the box. Skip abrasive pads and steel wool, which can scratch the surface.

How do I keep the steel looking its best?

Rinse off any cleaning products and dry the base fully after washing. Stainless steel is corrosion resistant, and keeping it clean and dry helps it stay looking its best.

How can I help my cat switch to a new litter box?

Place the new box next to the old one, use the same litter, and phase out the old box gradually. Read our transition tips.
