I made my own at a third of the price and so far so good! We bought an 18 gallon storage bin, cut a whole in the lid using a glass candle plate as a guide and called it good. Our new kitten has taken right to it AND, best of all, the dogs cannot dig (yuck) through it like they could when we had the regular litter box (gross). The top entry box is a great concept and had I wanted to spend the money and wait for delivery I would've bought this product for sure.

I was looking for a regular covered litter box because my cat is a digger and throws a lot of litter out of her uncovered box. I found many litter boxes, but I liked the idea of this one and watched the video included with one of the reviews. Now, with the "Clevercat" litter box, there is no litter out of the box and I hear my cat enjoying her digging inside. Not Only this box keep the area clean, but it saves litter too because nothing is wasted outside. I never thought that much litter like this was being wasted gradually as a result of my cat digging and digging. The mat like cover on the top of the box serves as a mat to trap the litter clinging to the cat's paws. I would recommend this box and I have already done so to a friend.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R19YZLNBEFX10 I couldn't bring myself to pay $30 for a glorified plastic bin, so I made my own for about 1/3 of the price using a plastic tub (~$7) and a small towel (~$5). I used an Exacto knife (you could also use a small saw) to cut the hole in the lid, sanded down the edges of the hole and covered them with electric tape, and hot glued down the towel (to help pick up stray litter, you could also use a doormat or litter mat). This litter box is the best that I have tried so far. I had a traditional covered litter box before, and I had to sweep out my bathroom floor every day or two. I also tried an automatic scooping litter box, but my cat was afraid of it and refused to use it.
To help my 7 year-old cat adjust, I left his old traditional covered litter box out after I made this one but did not scoop it out, and after about a week, he switched to this new one and seems to love it. And I love it too because I only sweep up litter about once a week now!

I adopted a very sweet cat from a shelter but soon discovered that she was SERIOUSLY lacking litter box skills and etiquette. (Peed up the side of the box, didn't cover, and often left... remnants... outside the box upon exiting.) A covered box seemed like the best option but the lid and bottom didn't seal well and trapped urine in the crevices ( a PAIN to clean!), and a couple of times I even discovered her peeing with butt aimed out the door! As a last ditch effort I bought a top entry box. It seemed a bit pricey for what it was, but I was determined to find a solution, and not give her up. Problem solved. FAR less litter outside the box, EASY to clean, almost NO tracking or dropping of remnants outside the box, and as for the horrible pee issue, well, unless she figures out how to pee straight UP, even she cant get anything outside this box. She seems to like it better too. I'm guessing because the top opening provides better ventilation. There are no crevices so there is less odor. And there's something very comical about seeing your cat's head sticking out of the box. Some cats might not like that but, obviously, pride is not an issue for my cat.

Why didn't someone think of this sooner? I have a cat AND a dog, and this litter box solved two very annoying problems:
1) The cat sometimes missed the litter box and ended up piddling on the floor, which resulted in many clean ups and lingering ammonia odors for days afterward.
2) The dog, a terrier mix, thought the kitty litter box was a snack bar.
Now the cat cannot piddle outside the box because she is deep inside with the opening over her head. And the dog is too short and not quite bright enough to get her face into the opening.
Thank you Clevercat!!
