I also have a big plastic tote that I use for a litter box, but have never thought about cutting a hole in the sides. It's a good idea. Mollie June has trouble with getting infections, so I have thought about trying the pine litter to see if it would help her.




Reachoutrescue posted this photo of the litter box provided for a cat who was just admitted to their shelter. I'll show you the picture and then ask the questions.

It's a storage box, which got me thinking. Some storage boxes you can purchase at K-Mart or Target have high sides. Cassie is good at kicking the litter over the side of the box. I put a cotton rug underneath the box, but I still hoover up a lot of litter. I wonder if a storage box would be better, because of those high sides? If I cut down two of the sides so she can get in and out easily? Would I cover the cut sides with duct tape, do you think?

Also -- does anyone have experiences with pine litter, good or bad? I am trying to switch her from clay to pine. I'm mixing them right now, but the pine pellets are too big for the slots in the scoop. I'm not sure I'm doing this right. She's using the box as if nothing had changed, no problem there, and I am trying to keep it regularly scooped.


Thank you all,
Elyse and Cassie Cat

We use large storage totes as litter boxes too. It really helps if you have cats that like the "fling". :p We mix cheapo clay litter with Feline Pine. It works very well.

One of our litter boxes is a storage box with high sides and a hole in the LID for the kitties to use as a door. That prevents litter flinging and dog litterbox raiding!
