Iris Ohyama Cat Litter Box with Scoop, Up to 7kg, Beige, Top Entry, Cat Litter Tray, Enclosed, For Kitten, High Sided, Hooded, Large, Jumbo, BPA Free, Deep, Easy to Clean, PUNT-530

Bought these a few years ago when I had my first cat and he took to it immediately even as a kitten. Just needed to place some of his “scent” in the box and he climbed in himself after I tried putting him in to do a bit of sniffing once. I got another so he has a choice plus I got a second cat.1. It did reduce tracking initially but now that they are 2 and 3 years old respectively, they tend to just jump in and after finishing what they need to do and covering, they just jump straight out onto the floor without stepping on the lid with the grooves. 😅 So I placed a mat underneath to try to capture any litter as they jump off and use the robotic hoover regularly!2. My cats are Norwegian Forest and weighs 6kg and 7kg. So they are not small/normal sized cats (as everyone who met them tells me!). The litter box fits fine for them but I would not use it for bigger than 7kg as my bigger cat only has a bit of spare room to move around inside (but it could be fur that make it seems like that and not his actual body size!) . The description does say up to 7kg and I would recommend the same. However he easily gets in and out of the opening which is bigger than most covered litter boxes I have seen.3. I prefer the opening at the top rather than the door type as it provides a bit of security for them but I can easily see/smell if they used it and can go clean it immediately (my older cat has OCD and only uses the litter box when it’s clean!); I also prefer this over the open ones (without cover) as you can’t see what’s inside unless you stick your head over the opening to look! It can easily sit in the living room which I have done before and no one knew it was a litter box. However it is huge, hence I moved it out of the living room into the bathrooms!4. It’s fairly light when empty, so easy to lift into the bathtub or outside in the garden to clean and scrub.5. It’s easy to clean if you do it regularly and use at least 3 inches of litter as it’s smooth all around hence, easy to wash off anything and lightly scrub with a brush if needed. I don’t use any litter bags to line it as decided it’s not great especially if there is too little litter and they end up scratching the bottom when covering their stuff, so I prefer to scoop out every day/twice a day, and just wash it every weekend before refilling with clean litter.6. It’s all one piece so no parts stuck together except the top covering, so if your cat decides to pee on the wall of the bin, there will be no leakage at all.7. So far, they stayed in place and don’t move when my cats jump in/out. However the cover needs to be replaced properly and fit into all the grooves, to avoid them falling into the litter box when they jump out! I always check when replacing the cover after scooping stuff out as one of my cats fell back down as I didn’t put the lid back in properly hence when he jumped onto it, it loosen and dropped into the box so he fell in as well. 😅 Luckily he wasn’t scarred for life and continued using it.8. It comes with a scoop to hang by the side, but usefulness depends if you are using clumping vs non clumping litter/wood pellets as the holes are big! If non clumping (which I used when my cats were kitten) or wooden pellets that disintegrate into fine dust, you won’t be able to scoop the litter with pee out! You will need to buy a proper scoop (without holes) like I did till I switched to clumping litter when my cats were older.I highly recommend this as no litter box I have seen comes close to this, so repurchased again.Some people left reviews saying they had issues with the lid/grooves not fitting properly or looking mangled and the scoop being square whilst the litter box is curved so difficulty scooping…. I had no issues with any of these, so unable to comment.

The media could not be loaded. Such a good litter ‘tray’, our 8 week old kitten knew how to use it immediately. I put the litter she had used into it so it would be a familiar scent and set her into it at the start so she could understand what was actually in it. She hopped out herself but this is her hopping in herself (video attached). It came quicker than expected, and already built so no time required on that, and so easy to attach and detach lid for refill and cleaning. It definitely is big, but it’s very sleek looking and lovely coloured. It also gives me peace of mind that no matter how big she gets, it’ll always be suitable for her size. I’ve noticed ZERO tracking of litter, which is so so good because the normal tray we were using resulted in quite a bit. Can’t say I notice much regarding smell but I’ll maybe think different over time - either way, much tidier looking than a tray sitting out with pee or poo visible for all to see! 10/10 recommend. We love it!!

Easy to clean, sturdier than it looks, easy to reach and remove “items” from. I was afraid our cats would not get use to the top entry, but it was no issue at all. Less litter pieces scattered around ( we had that even with the mat). It’s so funny looking at it while they are doing their business, you just see the top of the head and ears… it’s hilarious! I would not recommend for older cats/ cats with mobility issues, but it’s the easiest to clean litter box you can buy

I love this litter box for my kitten. I was initially worried he might not take to it as he was still quite small and young when we got it, but he took to it straight away. He is a huge digger and throws the litter around in his litter box - we started off with a lidded box with front entry and it was just a mess! But since we got this top entry box, everything stays inside. Even tracking is much improved and anything he does bring out stays in the grooves of the lid. It is a large size so I’m confident he will be able to comfortably use it even when he is big. The lid clips off easily for daily cleaning, but the one downside (which is why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars) is that it is tricky to do the full litter change once a week! With a normal box I’d put it inside a bin bag to tip out, but this is too large and bulky to do that. Added to that are the openings where the lid clips into, which then make tipping out the old litter difficult and a little messy. It would be great if the box part came in two pieces - a tray and then the walls to clip on. It would make cleaning a lot easier!Other than this, this is a fantastic litter box! It looks good, daily cleaning is quick and easy, tracking is massively reduced, and no litter can be kicked out. Also bonus point - my dogs can’t sniff around inside! For all of that, I can put up with a bit of difficulty with the weekly clean! I would definitely recommend it.

I'm so glad we got this thing. We went for the most expensive one as the other one looked like a mop bucket...It is really good quality, actually quite surprised and kitty loves it.She is one of those that loves digging and throw litter everywhere. She is very clean and doesn't touch the soiled litter but she goes on to bury everything with the clean litter, so you can imagine the everyday mess!This was a great option for us as now there are fewer litter debris on the floor (she still manages to smush some out but it's so much better).Odor control we don't really notice much difference as she doesn't make smelly poos anyway, but there isn't anything preventing the smell from coming out through the hole. Just in case this helps anyone.Also she likes the privacy in there I reckon. She looked quite uncomfortable going to the toilet with someone nearby with the open tray. Now she can hide and does her business even if we're both in the toilet!It is easy to clean and she jumps in quite easily but she is quite an agile cat.Very happy, should have bough it sooner!
