IRIS USA Large High Sided Cat Litter Box, Scatter Shield

My cat loves these litter boxes. He will not use some of the other boxes, so I replaced them with these and have them in several rooms in the house. They are easy to fill and the sides keep him from throwing litter from at least 3 sides - yes, he still manages to throw litter from the opening, but he hates enclosed boxes. I love that it comes with the litter scoop and you can hang it from the side of the box. So far the ones I had previously purchased have lasted for years, and these were an addition to what I had and to replace those he won't use. My cat isn't a large cat though and the large size works for him. For larger cats you would need a larger box.

THIS CAT BOX IS PERFECT! (Jump to second paragraph if you don’t want to read the history of cat boxes in this house lol). When our cat was a kitten we used a low to the ground shallow litter box she could get in and out of, she was tiny. Once she was ready for a bigger cat box we got a top entry so that the dogs couldn’t get to it. It was great and we had purchased a second one after a year (I like to only use the plastic ones for a year or so and then get a new one). When I went to get a replacement the third time I saw the stainless steel ones and decided to try it, only it wasn’t top entry, just had high sides and back. Well, our very particular cat refused to use it. She would get in it and then jump right out, the drama lol. So I came back on to reorder the same one we had been using, but I saw this one and it looked a bit more functional so I decided to try it. I’m so glad I did! This will be the one that I come back to order again! It’s the perfect size for her, good price, keeps the scent contained, is easy to scoop the sticky yucky pee out and it keeps the dogs out lol. But what I REALLY love is that when I go to clean it, the top FLIPS UP (and stays attached!!!!) and any cat litter that has tracked onto the lid, where the cat jumps in and out of the box, goes right back into the cat box! Our old top entry ones didn’t flip open, you had to fully remove the lid every time you went to clean it which always resulted in spilt litter from the tracking and honestly was just a pain in the butt compared to this one! Would highly recommend this litter box!

It's been cat tested .. and then tested ... and then ... oh my gawd what did you EAT? Tested. It works. My cats are all tall to mid-lard sized little heifers. I was having issues with 2 of them - Sammi the Weasel likes to stick her butt out the front of the box and pee all over the floor. Yoda Boda likes to dig a hole to China then scratch the walls down to fill said hole in (this goes on FOREVER) all while making sure everything in 20 foot radius is equally covered in litter for good measure, then he plunks his butt down right in the center to pee before bolting out like lightning just smacked him which serves his nefarious purpose of making litter trails across the entire house as he completely avoids touching down on the litter mats. Pepper Spray can contain herself and her bizniz to a box but she dislikes the openness of regular ones ... however she's a wee bit umm, FAT, for a regular hooded box. I checked out the expensive pet stores (you know the ones!) and they did not have anything that would meet all 3 of my precious sugar woogums cow sized elimination habits. Then I ordered Iris CLH-12 Open-Top Litter Box with Shield and Scoop, installed it between my shower & human litter box and voila! Problems mostly solved. Sammi the Weasel can no longer shove her butt out the front edge, Pepper Spray doesn't look like an awkward fat-ass stuffed in a tiny box, and Yoda Boda isn't flinging excavation treasures like a Tasmanian devil all over the entire room. The box lid is a little awkward because of the weird small area of where it barely clips onto the box. If you got sprayers or super high pee-ers, this will be a problem. It might accommodate bags easier than a regular hooded box, however I don't know that for sure, I haven't tried it with a bag yet since my demon-boy just shreds them into "sifter" bags anyway. He hasn't been able to ninja-kick it off yet, so yay! The included scoop is SMALL, but it has a cool handle hook that allows it to hook onto the lid of the box or open-hood. But hey, the scoop is a bonus and what cat poop-scooping person doesn't already have like 5 of those things anyway? The size is okay, its designed high not super lengthy or extra wide. It works, but it could be bigger which would make it more comfortable for my canine sized fur balls. Its only slightly wider than my regular litter box [very slightly]. If you are looking for a high sided wider one, check out one that looks like a baby bath tub (seriously it does), but you pretty much need fur balls with no litter box issues to brave a non-hood design [if you got one ... you could make a killing in breeding it!]. In short, if you need a hood with out the ceiling and don't have super high pee-ers/sprayers, this design will work. It's high enough to contain, but doesn't brush my butt and freak me out when I'm doing my bizniz either [its right beside my toilet, I'm not using the litter box I swear].

Tall sides, and deep bottom box make this a great Litter box, especially for 2 cat households! Easy to clean as well!

I am a first time kitty owner so I dint' completely realize what I was getting into when I adopted. I knew kitty's used a littler box so I bought a box and thought that would be it. The first one I bought was just an open box and that was it. Didn't have a hood or sides. Even though it was tucked away in a corner, I didn't like that the litter was still visible from across the room. Weird, I know. It's kind of like how I don't like to walk into any restroom and see the toilet lid open. I can't explain it, it's just a weird pet peeve. Skeezix the cat didn't care for the lack of privacy much either. Next I bought a hooded one. I thought it would give her the privacy she wanted and me the satisfaction of not seeing the exposed litter. Skeezix cared very little for the change and would kick off the lid every chance she got. I think she didn't like the feeling of being trapped, even though the hood was size appropriate. So now the hooded one has now become the secondary box in case I go out out of town. I found this one online and I saw it had high sides which would help cut down on her scattering and tracking litter everywhere. The sides cut down on my looking at exposed littler issue and keeps the area clean. Plus, it gives her just enough privacy to feel comfortable enough to do her business while staring me in the eye as if to say "There, I left a little something for you, now clean up my mess." I had purchased several scoopers already but they were all so big and hard to use effectively. The scooper that comes with this one is perfect size. I scoop at least twice a day and i still use a bigger scoop to put everything in to carry it away but I use the little scooper to get every last little bit from the the tray. And it hangs off the side, which is very convenient. I wish all scoopers would hang like that. I'm not wild about having the scoopers touch anything else. Another added bonus is this one kept my little chihuahua from eating the litter once she discovered the kitty was a walking vending machine. My dog was elderly and disabled so it took her a while to catch on to what was going on in that back corner. Once she did finally figure things out she was able to get into the box from the front but she was just disabled enough to not be able to reach to much. When i figured out she was doing it I moved the littler box to sit on top of a bigger, higher storage box that she definitely couldn't get to. And now that it sits higher, Skeezix is happy again and so am I because I don't have to bend down so far and get my face right up in it to clean it out. The high sides really do cut down on the litter tracking, and keeps the smells from the freshies from overpowering the room. It's super easy to clean too, I throw both pieces in the tub with oxi clean type product, let it dry on the balcony for a bit a we're back in business. I put baking soda down before the litter and I've never noticed an issue with the smell and neither has anyone who has visited. I make sure I ask people because I don't have to have gone nose blind to it and not realize it. Everybody is happy with this box. I would recommend it to a first time cat owner for sure. The high sides are a happy medium between the cat feeling trapped in a hooded top or completely exposed in open box.

Made for a small cat

My can’t used to throw litter out from all sides before I got this product. I was constantly sweeping the floor. Now this shield keeps the litter in on three sides. Wonderful

One of our cats had to wear a cone and this box worked perfect for that, easy in and easy out. I have the top entry litter box for daily use and the cone would not work with it so it was great that I found this one. It would also work as well for daily use if needed. Very sturdy quality, not flimsy and well worth the price. It’s also a great size for older cats, our boys are 8 & 9 yrs old.

Es perfecta de tamaño y casi no saca la arena mi gatita en ella está es la 2a que adquiero me encanta!

These are large enough and sturdy. Good quality. Ok price. Glad the cats cannot kick the litter out anymore!

Our fluffy black cat is not a retiring violet & he needs a big litter tray. Finally we have found him one & he’s very pleased! The increased height allows him to dig about without any flying around the room. It’s wonderful!

A mi gato le ancantò es un poco grande pero encntrè un buen lugar para ponerlo y dejo de usar su otro arenero de inmediato, ahora entra con menos precauciòn y sale màs tranquilo, la recomiendo mucho. Mi gato ha tenido arenero abiertos cerrados de doble entrada grandes y pequeños y sin duda este es el mejor para èl, y para mi deje de tener problemas de arena alrededor, sin importar cuanto rasque mi gato.

Muy buen tamaño, y como está medio cerrado no tiran la arena.
