It does the job for the cat that hikes her hinny up up up! Highly recommend. This is our second purchase.
It’s much easier to scoop from the top vs. the side of the litter box. Also, less litter scatters about when scooping from the top. My cat took to it right away, and so did my husband (Manager of Litterbox Operations).
My 4-year-old female cat occasionally stood up while peeing resulting in the wall/floor getting sprayed. I do not like the smelly covered litter boxes but this model (Modkat Litter Tray) is high enough to contain her stream. I also should be able to use these litter trays (bought 3) for more than one year because they have replaceable liners which prevents the tray from absorbing waste and smelling after a few months. Very satisfied at this point after one months use especially good results with Arm & Hammer Slide litter!
I have a one year-old male cat, who likes to scratch the walls to try and cover his poop. The high walls on this litter box are why I bought it, hoping it would encourage him to move the litter instead of scratching the wall behind the litter box, it worked!
We have 5 cats and modkat has changed the game for us!! They all use the same Modkat box and there is so much less litter that gets spread throughout our house! It cuts down on the smell too and our liners came promptly! We tell every cat parents about MK! Thank you!
I’ve been using a modkat box for a few years and love it. The liners fit perfectly and are durable and reusable. The only thing I noticed at some point is that the wire around the top of the liner git stiffer and less flexible compared to how I remembered them. This makes getting them in and out if the box a little harder. Hope modkat can address this.
We liked our first one enough that we got another, and this one is just as good as the other.
These are great and durable liners. I just threw out the old ones after months of use. I like that it is flush with the box and reusable.
Overall, I enjoy the litter keeper. It is more convenient because it allows me to keep the scoopings inside the house for longer times without any foul smell. However, when the pee ball is large, it does not fit through the trap door well and I need to flip open the entire lid to dump it. It is not that inconvenient by any means, but defeats the purpose of the trap door. Another issue I have is that the clip of the lid is not strong. If you're moving the litter keeper around, you can only hold the hinge part. If you hold at the front, the lid just flips open without being able to hold the weight. These are two parts where improvements can be seen, especially when this product is not cheap.
FINALLY! A covered, high-sided litter box that fits where it needs to go! It's surprisingly roomy - actually took more litter to fill it than the box it replaced, even though they have roughly the same footprint. The high sides are a must for my high-peeing cat, and the liner system is *awesome* - keeps things tidy, holds up to super-shredder kitty claws, and stuff doesn't stick! The odor control system is a nice plus (full disclosure: doesn't eliminate odors, but does blunt the impact of feline stink bombs). The litter scoop hanger is also nice to have. There was a bit of skewing/lid misalignment at first, but it seems to have settled out after a few days. Premium price product, but definitely well worth the investment.
One of my cats has very bad behaviors when anything changes, including the litterbox. The other cat pees high and often over the side of cat#1's preferred litterbox. The Modkat pleases them both AND I love the human-friendly accessibility/ease of scooping. I bought two more and my life is easier!
I’ve been scooping cat boxes for 30+ years. It’s a chore I hate. All the awkward boxes and lids and ill-fitting liners have made me question having cats many times. This box is so easy! There’s no liner for my cat to tear to shreds leaving it useless after the first use. It’s tall enough and large enough for my girl. (She’s not fat-she just has good birthing hips 😆). The folding lid is a game changer! I’m no longer tracking litter around the room that’s stuck to the lid. I fold the lid up, scoop and I’m done! I highly recommend getting something like a Litter Genie with it like I did. These two inventions have changed my whole poop scooping world!
We love our new Flip! At first, left the cover off to let The Lads get used to using a new box, then added the cover half-open all the time. The front is high enough to prevent litter from being kicked out onto the floor, even for our front-of-the-box go-er. And so good-looking. Thanks, Modkat!
Hi Tim, our sincerest apologies for this as the tracking for your package shows it was lost in transit! We are follow up now via email with further info.
It’s tall enough so that it keeps the boys from spraying outside and above the shorter boxes. We have 3 of these, for our 3 cats.
Best cat litter box we ever owned. We bought the flip box with kitty trash can and floor mat to trap the litter, Amazing.
I have a boy cat who pees high at his stage of life, managing to Houdini his pee out of the sides of the litter box, and I have been searching for a solution. Tried - let me think - four or five different variations of the lidded box, two top entry boxes, all accepted by my girl cat after a week or so of getting used to the foreign object sitting there next to the hated stinky old box. But my boy never would switch.
I thought the XL Modkat box was expensive but with two bonded sibling cats, I had to go XL because they share a main box and an occasional alternate. And really, do I want to contain this problem for less than $200? Yes, I do. I had already spent far more than that in vet visits and other boxes and other litters.
When it arrived, I unpacked their new XL Modkat box, put it together (easy), fitted the liner (easy), added in the magic mix of litters that is their favorite, and set it next to the hated stinky old box and the top entry alternate. I expected them, following their pattern, to ignore the new box for a week or so, and off I went to run an errand.
When I got home, imagine my surprise to find that both cats had used the new box! I mean, what made it okay to use this one immediately? I have no idea, cat logic obviously escapes me. But we do love the box so far - it is easy to clean, the liners are not scratchable or tearable, it has more aesthetic appeal than most boxes, and I can’t see how my box could possibly get his pee out of this box or behind the liner. (Knocking on wood.) I can see how high his pee goes on the liner, run some fresh litter up the wall with the edge of the scoop, take out the clumps, and voilà! Clean again.
I have ordered backup liners, thrown away the hated stinky old box, and we aren’t looking back. I wish I had known about ModKat long ago, it would have saved me so much time and frustration. This is an unsolicited review, and uncompensated in any way, it’s just my relief gushing out in words for you, fellow cat owners. If you are sitting on the fence, and you have a high peeing cat that is physically healthy (meaning, do take them to the vet first, if box habits have changed), hey, you might as well give it a shot. It worked for us.
Love the high sides, but am concerned about litter going in the gaps between the liner and the box, especially in the front. The liner needs to be more fitted. (Haven't used it yet, need to take down the other box). The other box is yours with the flimsy plastic piece that doesn't fit right and doesn't keep litter out if the sides of the box.
