Mmm, this is a good question!! I also use an uncovered litter-box and I live now in a small flat - so no balcony to put that matter away We, my cats and I, enjoy a patio, but it is common to all neighbours, and I think it is not very suitable to leave the litter box there! Now the bathroom is bathroom for all the family. I scoop the litter box twice a day (or even more!) so I avoid odour problems thus - at least persistent odour problems!! I tell you, I can know almost instantly if Neelix has used the box!!

My questions about covered litter boxes are:
Do big cats have problems with them?? (Neelix is huge!!)
and
How do you manage to scoop it daily? Even if it's covered I still would need to do it on that basis - Sirocco refuses to do "those things" if the box is slightly dirty!!

Err, I know the second question seems stupid... what I mean is if it is difficult, or a nuisance to take the cover to look inside the box!

Thank you,
Nita!
