Seven week old kitten's using 100+ quart Sterilite box for litter box
The sides are pretty tall, but they can jump. Seems they already
prefer the huge 100+ quart Sterilite box for a litter box. I was using one of those grocery store style maroon litter boxes (Hartz I guess). Had to clean the sides every few days. I guess that proves it stays clean not because of the litter I'm using. If there is a next time for raising kittens, I'll look for a Sterilite (polyethylene) box, the shiny smooth clear type, with low sides. I don't know what sort of plastic they use for ordinary litter boxes, but apparently it's not polyethylene. I haven't tried any of the colored Sterilite boxes. Just can't beat the thing staying clean. |

There is an extremely fine coat of dust, but that's it. Nothing else stays stuck to the sides. |

If they are like my four, you want to place lots of stuff in the box that the cats think will be destroyed by urin, too. - You have to sucker them to go in the box to begin with...... |

My cats took to the totes right off. I just put the litter in them and placed them where they're old letterboxes were. |

Or are you also the owner of an inside dog? Most of them are litter-browsers and will make short order of any kat droppings in a micro-second. IBen Getiner |

They have several cats and use shredded paper instead of litter. The stench inside that house was almost unbearable. Shredded paper does not eliminate odor! MaryL |
