OK, I was not thrilled to pay $100 for a litter box and as if that was not bad enough, another $50 for shipping, but the reviews made it seem worth it. We have a female cat that for whatever reason seems to always hit the crack between the top half and bottom half of the old litter box. I found this one and the reviews and design made me think that maybe this would work. I ordered it and it arrived very quickly. It was in a huge box, so the shipping cost was understandable. I removed the old litter box, cleaned the area really well and installed this new one. I put new litter in it and let the cats, three of them, just go for it. It is very easy to clean. The litter does not seem to stick to the surface and it holds a lot of litter too. So far we love it very much, so much, that we will be ordering a second one for the upstairs.Pros: Easy to cleanDoes not leakCons: It is expensive and shipping is highIt is large and takes up a bit of roomOverall, it is well worth the money and we will be getting a second one soon.

Love it. Perfect for my cat and he took right to it after years of using an open litter pan.

We have big boys and we were using the Modkat XL’s which was still too small for 3 of them to use comfortably. The coating over what looks like a standard bin adds a sturdiness to the build and prevents the claws from scratching up the plastic. its also easy to clean. So I would expect these to last much longer and overall cost less then the ModKats because you do not need to buy liners for this ( I don’t think there is a liner big enough anyway)

I gave a very positive review when I purchased two of these Kat Kave litter boxes several months ago. I decided to buy a third one since I have three cats and even though they are large enough to accommodate the three I thought why not purchase a third. The Kat Kave was just delivered and it has several areas on the plastic where the gray protective outer coating never completely covered the underlying white soft plastic. One major spot right where the cats pee so I know in time the urine will eat through the soft white under layer. There are 6 white underlying spots on the lid and 10 white underlying soft plastic spots in the main litter box, the largest spot located on the flat bottom where the cats pee. I am thoroughly disappointed in this recent purchase, this Kat Kave is defective as far as I am concerned and they are expensive so they should have been some sort of quality control especially since cat urine is pretty acidic and caustic. I would return but since I am sheltering in place I’m not going to do it but DON’T BUY THIS KAT KAVE, NO QUALITY CONTROL.

This is a fantastic large litter box we use for our three large male kittys. (One per cat). I think we have gone through every style of box made and this is hands down the best! So easy to clean! We did add some 2” holes along the top sides for ventilation. Costly but worth every penny! Sent one to my son for his two kittys and he loves it too!

This is the best litter box ever made. I’ve owned cats all my life and bought every type of litter box and litter box furniture. This one is made to provide everything cats love; plenty of space and large area for digging and turning around and around. It has no seams so cat pee doesn’t settle in cracks and smell. It is easy to clean, simple and it looks nice. We have two; one is inside without a lid and the other is in a catio and has the lid. I normally don’t like lids but this one is so high that my big cats are comfortable standing in it with lid on. This was invented by a lady and her mom who couldn’t find a big enough box for their cats. I was sorry to find they are no longer selling the boxes but I believe they are now being sold by the company who made the boxes for the women, so I am happy for that and I’m happy they are still being made. Thank you! They were and are made in Wisconsin, where the women started their business. I bought boxes for both my daughter’s cats. They like them too. I LOVE them. I originally found out about these boxes from catinfo.org. written by a vet.

I have 2 and while it hurt my feelings to spend that much (they were more expensive in the past) I have absolutely no regrets. My fat boy peed straight back and I had no dripping out of the seams that I had with other hooded boxes. Barely any kicked out litter. Contains odors. I have actually stood on this thing many times. I just wish they had gray when I ordered mine 2 years ago. I even prefer this over the Litter Robot and I’ve had 3 of those.

I’ve had cats for 50 years and this is the best litter box I’ve ever had. I have two cats ; one a large rag doll, and I find this container so easy to clean!!! I highly recommend it

My elderly female cat is a high pee-er and the Kat Kave is awesome. I filled it with 4 inches of Ever Clean litter and she took to it right away. She’s even started pooping back in her box now since it doesn’t reek of urine. I scoop every morning, wipe down the sides and back and the underside of the lid (she is a really really high pee-er) with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and Dawn dish soap. No odor whatsoever. I was using a pellet litter before so this sand litter with the tracking on my dark wood floors is a bit of a hassle but I’ll take a quick sweep up over my office and Muffin’s litter box reeking of urine any day of the week. I highly recommend this litter box. The one negative might be how to get it downstairs and out the door to wash it out once a month with the hose and some Dawn dish soap and a complete change of litter because it’s large and heavy with the litter in it. But again, worth it to no longer have cat urine odor. I highly recommend this Kat Kave.

Two of our 6 cats don’t squat down enough for every other litter box. This has been driving me crazy for years! I couldn’t believe that no one made a box tall enough. Sure there are 2 piece boxes that have some height, but cleaning in the seems is worse than just cleaning it off the floor. After finding this box I ordered one and after it arrived and the cats used it no problem (with the lid off), I ordered two more.

I no longer have to clean up outside the box as the height prevents overshooting. Easy to clean (with a large metal litter scoop with a long handle). I’m not using the top – though I suppose if I did my cat might sit on top for another perch. Color goes with any decor.

I love it because my cats cannot dig sands over the litter box.

I have had one of these for 3 years and ordered a 2nd one for our basement. Our 17 year old cat became very sick and I never even got the chance to unpack the new one. I emailed the seller and they were very compassionate and told me they would give me a full refund and they asked that I donate the new one to my local shelter. I cannot being to express my gratitude for Kat Kave. I highly recommend this little box it is the best I ever used and fit perfectly in the cabinet I bought for littler boxes. They not only make an awesome product but they are true animal lovers.

The reviews don’t lie. We have two cats, male (15 lbs) and female (11 pounds). We use only one litter box and have gone through 4 or so litter boxes over the years (and have researched close to a hundred … I kid you not). Every litter box that we had prior to this one were the “best” that we could find. And yet, no matter how tall or wide, our cats have always managed to either scoop litter out of the box onto the floor or pee all over the sides and the lid, making clean up more difficult. And every single covered litter box had some sort of seams where our cats (most likely the male kitty) would always be able to pee, making the act of taking the lid of more disgusting than it should be.Enter Kat Kave. As I said above, the reviews do not lie. This is by far the best litter box. Ever. Sturdy. Wide. Tall. No seams. Built to last. The cleaning process is a breeze once you figure out how to maneuver the box (because it is on the large and heavy side). We’ve had it for several months now and nothing seems to stick hard to the walls. And after it’s washed, it dries off very quickly, such that you can put it right back to use.I guess the only “con” about the box is that it is, in fact, big and a bit heavy. Definitely takes getting used to to lift it with all the litter inside to empty it, or to hold it with one hand while washing it. But that’s nothing once you realize that this is the best litter box that you can buy on the market. Our cats, but especially our larger male kitty, love it. He now has enough space to go inside and turn around, like he loves to, without having to have one half of his body or his face sticking out while going about his business.Finally, the price. Yes, it’s expensive. Yes, you have to pay for shipping. But, trust me, it is well, well worth it. It’s better to pay upfront and enjoy life, then having to pay $30 every couple of years and cursing in-between when you have to clean up the litter and pee that were meant to stay inside the litter box.

OK, this is definitely pricey, but you will have your cat for many, many years, so if he’s a high urinator like my little boy is, you can not pass this up. I have tried every high sided box on the market, and finally decided to splurge on this darn cat litter box if it’d fix the issue. I watched him today, and he CAN NOT spray over the top!! You can’t imagine my happiness unless you have a male cat that does this. I don’t use the top since my cats are used to open boxes, but the top is heavy duty just like the bottom. It’s also really big on the bottom so my 25 pound cat has no trouble turning around. Take a loan or make payments if you need to, but this will last you forever. 🙂

I have a cat with very long legs. He always peed over the highest box. This is a box finally designed right. Pee can’t leak out from the seam. The only draw back is the weight of the box. It’s heavy. But that means it’s sturdy. Cats and I are very happy. The only thing I would change is may be make the entrance a little bigger.

After finding this box I ordered one and after it arrived and the cats used it no problem (with the lid off), I ordered two more.

One of my two cats is a little over a year old and has grown to be around 13 pounds. She eats the exact same as my 9 pound cat, she’s just built different! She started accidentally peeing down the steps of their old dome litter box because she was unable to turn around so I searched forever to find a litter box that made it easier for her. I live in an apartment so space is a bit of an issue, however this was well worth it for my cats.

There is nothing to dislike. It met all expectations

This was probably one of the best purchases I have made. All of my issues with litter boxes of the past have been solved with this one!! Easy to clean, spacious enough for my 15lb male cat, and no pee leaking out the top or over the sides because of the fact that it is designed as one giant bucket with a lid. Absolutely amazing and absolutely worth it!

It is tall enough to block my cat kicking litter out of the box

I’m not exaggerating when I say that I’ve been looking for the perfect litter box for years. My Squiggles is over 20 and is a high pee-er. He’s also a large, tall cat. I’ve tried normal litter boxes, self-cleaning litter boxes, corner boxes, boxes hidden in furniture, hooded litter boxes and even a disposable one you throw away each month. I was at my wits end- the normal box was useless. He kicked litter everywhere and peed so high he’d spray the walls, the garbage can or whatever else was in the way. Self-cleaning ones are great, in theory, but didn’t do much for his high peeing. The corner box had a hood that should have been awesome – but the latches were precisely where his pee hit. This meant it leaked out the sides. I tried taping the box shut and this worked, but made cleaning very difficult. The disposable monthly cardboard box that they promised was leak proof? Yeah, you guessed it. It leaked. I took pictures and everything because they swore up and down it was made to be leak proof. I got a refund after they saw the pictures. This didn’t help my predicament. I googled and googled until I found this box. It was between this one and another brand that you need to use these reusable plastic liners in. Sounds fantastic unless the company ever goes out of business. Besides, they were out of stock.So, I ordered this one. Fast shipping and OMG no more leaking pee. It is very, very sturdy. It reminds me of an oversized storage tub. However, this is heavier and no matter how much he tries, he can’t pee out of it. Even if he turned around and tried to pee out of the hole, he’d have to squat- which he never does. So, it’s a win win. 🙂 Cleaning is easy(ish) as you just take the lid off and scoop. Any smell is contained in the box.If you have a large cat, a high pee-er or one that refuses to squat this is a perfect box for you.

Edited: it’s been a few weeks and this is a serious game changer. I wish I had found this years ago. They are using it great and definitely not peeing over the edge or through the opening. So glad I found this box. Worth every penny!I’ve only had this a few days but there has not been one drop of pee found outside of the box. I was nervous they’d not go in because for the last year we’ve just used the giant storage boxes with an entrance cut into the side. But because of covid (maybe?) I stopped being able to find the taller sided ones. It never occurred to me that my cats were standing to pee and that’s why we’d been experiencing pee outside of the box with our last two boxes. I just thought they hated the different box. Somehow I came across this and it is expensive but I was pretty desperate. Well we set it up on Saturday and normally I have to rotate through 2-3 towels to soak up what ends up outside of the box. TO test this, I put it out with *GASP* nothing! No towels. Nothing underneath. Just on the tile. I really wanted to see what we were dealing with.So now it’s Monday night and there has absolutely been steady usage but NO pee outside the box!So far we are not using with the lid. But it’s so tall, I really don’t think their pee could reach over the side, even without the lid. So, at this point we are thrilled. I will update my review in a few weeks.

Sturdy and good for my “high peeing” cats. With our old box, urine would escape through the seam where the top met the bottom. This one’s seam is high up. Such a relief!It’s a large litter box, good for a couple of cats.

This was probably one of the best purchases I have made. All of my issues with litter boxes of the past have been solved with this one!!

We now have 3 of these Kat Kave litter boxes for our 4 cats, all of which are large (over 14#) males. I searched and searched for a number of years to find a litter box tall enough for one of my cats who just has to pee on the side of his litter box, which was such a pain with the covered pans, always wiping up where the top and bottom connect. Yuck! Found this litter box a few years ago. Bought as an experiment and it worked really well. So we finally decided to purchase the 3rd one recently. No more covered boxes!The only con to these litter boxes is they are a bit heavy for this aging senior to pick up and empty.

First, I understand this is an investment. But if you’re like me, over the years you have tried and even made a revolving door of litter boxes that are flimsy, crack, hard to clean, and are never high enough, as I also have a cat that likes to stand up and pee. These appear to be made of the same speckled industrial plastic that commercial trash cans are made of, so it will last forever while the speckled design helps keep it’s appearance. Clumps don’t stick to the side either, so it’s been easy to clean so far. One modification we made as you can see is we drilled 3 rows of ventilation holes in the lid which done carefully looks factory. Without ventilation, the only escape for the ammonia filled air from their urine is through the door they have to enter and if we think it smells bad, imagine how strong it smells to them. It lets in additional light as well which helps them identify if the box is already occupied. During quarantine, I decided to redecorate our living room and their bathroom area was the last project. I am very pleased with how it looks now! If a litter box can be “stylish” then this is it. My cats took to them right away as well, noting the doors are a large and there’s more than enough room inside for the biggest cat to turn the whole way around. I recommend and would buy again, but I won’t have to!??

Great covered litter box, worth the $$$. We have had the box for a year and a half, and we are pleased with it and its performance. It is very well-made and sturdy. This box has been a wonderful solution for my medium to large male neutered cat who has always tended to urinate high on the walls of the litter boxes. There was difficulty keeping the urine contained previously, but this box is the solution. At the time I purchased this box there were some reviews of injuries with the entry/exit of the box and its rigid edge. We installed pipe insulation to provide cushioning to prevent issues (see picture).

My kitty (she’s 14) has a very sensitive nose, and when she pees she backs up to the back wall of the box. This makes it impossible to not use a covered box, and nearly impossible to keep a traditional covered box clean as urine accumulates into the seam and even with constant wipe downs/cleanings the smell starts to set into the plastic. When she doesn’t like the smell in her box she will poo in front of it …. *sigh*. I’m happy to report that she loves this box and it is so simple to clean. As soon as I set it up I could tell she was most pleased. She’s not a big girl but she loves a roomy box, so this is working out perfectly. A little pricey but as I usually end up replacing the traditional box about every 4 months I think this one will last quite a long time and I’ll be ahead in the long run. If my opinion changes over the next 4 months I will post an update.

I have a boy cat who pees straight back and HIGH. This litter pan is the only thing I’ve had that has contained his urine. I have a high-sided traditional pan that he would pee OVER. We love our Kat Kave. Pricey, but worth it.

I have a new Maine Coon kitten who is only 10 months and is bigger than any litter box I currently own. This box is tall, long, and wide enough for him to use comfortably. It is very easy to clean and will last a long time. Thanks

Perfect for a big cat

Love this litter box! Wish I found it years ago.I have a large tabby and the opening is just fine!

If this litter box were human, it would be the perfect man. Strong, sturdy, durable and easy on the eye. I searched around for s long time trying to find the perfect fit, but the search is over. This one is a keeper; worth the time and money. I truly love it.

I have two cats and both of them are vigorous excavators when covering their little treasures. This litter box has eliminated the scattering of litter all around the outside of the box. It is also large enough to service both cats and I no longer have to clear two litter boxes. It is very easy to clean, just scoot the lid back and you have full access. It washes up very nicely too. Love the thickness of the walls and the durability of the PCR. This was the best purchase I’ve ever made for my babies.
