Mr Catman Cat Sifting Litter Box for Pine Pellets with Sifter Pan & Extra-Large 7-Day Waste Storage Tray, Sifting Cat Litter Box -Sturdy & Non-Stick, Less Tracking, Easy Clean, Odor Control

The pine pellet litter system is THE BEST!
Pine pellet litter is THE BEST invention ever! While we have had cats as family members since the 90s, this is the first time we have adopted cats who were previously trained using pine pellets. We wanted to continue with their familiar system, so we purchased the Tractor Supply pellets ($5.99/20 lbs) and discovered this box on Amazon.While (relatively) expensive, I doubt it will ever need to be replaced, and it’s PERFECT for its purpose. The slots allow the dust to fall through with little to no pellet loss. I line the bottom layer with a regular litter bag liner, and so far, I only need to change the liner once per week for two cats using the box. (So a typical 30-item box of liners will last more than 6 months). My cats seldom kick pellets outside the box, so the low sides are not an issue. However, since loose pellets would be easy to sweep up with a mini brush and dustpan and return to the box, I don’t think it would be an issue even with less tidy cats. Some similar boxes have a drawer that needs to be lined with a pee pad and pulled out to change; reviewers have commented that the process can be messy. This box allows for a simple, zero-mess change of liner.What I love about the pellets is the low cost and the fact that there’s no dust, no urine odor, and no litter tracked through the house. Other than returning a few pellets to the box now and then, my floor has stayed spectacularly clean! If you’re thinking of switching, some excellent videos on YouTube guide you through the process. And if you switch, this box is for you!The first photo shows how the box looks when ready to be used. The second photo shows the lined bottom layer after the cats had used it for several days. As you can see, there’s dust but almost no full pellets.

The perfect litter box for pine pellets by far!
This is the perfect litter box for small to medium sized cats and by a large margin. Arguably the best litter box presently available and very easy to use and keep clean.We just scoop the poop and move the litter about with a scoop to help wet saw dust fall through the holes and into the collection box. The wet sawdust is also flushable. Takes just a few seconds to clean up. Because of the collecting box size, for one cat you could get almost a full week of use before emptying. I’ve been scooping for almost twenty years so I do have experience with lots of litter boxes. Needs to be a few inches larger in width and length for larger cats. Our cat is a fit 13lbs and can use the box easily but if he gets bigger there could be an issue with the box size. The box is very stable. Our guy stands with his paws on the box rim and there is no issue with stability.A lot of effort has been put into the design and it shows. Should only be used with pine pellets. Never use clay, clumping litter, it will clog the filter holes. Tractor Supply has 40 pound bags for about $8 per bag at the date of writing this. One 40 pound bag will last at least two months for one cat. Tractor Supply sells the pellets as “Horse bedding pellets”. Pine pellets are much better value than anything you can buy from the pet store, biodegradable and no dust, easier scooping and smell good. The color of the plastic fits in with most color schemes. Very high build quality and if used with a plastic bin liner around the collection box should last a very long time. The use of a bin liner for the collection box is a game changer. No dirty encrusted box to clean! Not cheap but better build quality than anything else out there and should last much longer than other boxes. This is a small company and until they can produce litter boxes in large numbers, and get the benefits of scale, the price will not decrease much. Good value considering the build quality and long life expectancy. Excellent customer service. I understand more colors and a larger sized litter box are in the pipeline. Very happy customer.

I was on the fence of buying this litter box just because of the price and uncertainty of if it would live up to the reviews but it works even better than I expected!Most of the pellet dust goes through the sift just from my cat using the box alone and the holes don’t get clogged! Saves so much time in cleaning and now I don’t have to unnecessarily throw out a bunch of pellets!

I have tried a lot of different sifting litter boxes – the regular Van Ness (non enclosed), the XL enclosed Van Ness, and a DIY version with hotel steam trays. The best option up till now was the XL Van Ness but it had multiple issues… the sifting holes in it are a similar size as the litter pellets, so the pellets would always get stuck in the holes and block the ability to sift the litter down. So the upper part would end up with lots of broken down pellets/sawdust in it, making it more likely to track out, and heavy/difficult to shake and sift down into the lower pan. The lower pan didn’t have much of a gap between it and the upper one, which made it awkward to sift. Enclosed litter boxes are also not ideal for cats, but if you left the lid off the tracking issue would become even worse! The main pro for that one was the size, which was TRULY extra large.So that said, this box fixes a lot of the issues with other sifting litter boxes. The sifting holes are the right size, and there is a big gap between the sifting tray and the lower tray. (Although it looks awkward and potentially tippy, it is actually a very sturdy setup.) This allows the sawdust to naturally move through the holes and filter down into the holding tray as my cats move around and dig in the pellets – I hardly have to shake it at all! This reduces the amount of tracking substantially! Some of the pellets do come out with kicking or by sticking to my cats’ feet when they leave the box, but those are much easier to clean up than little particles of sawdust scattered all around my apartment. It also is lighter and easier to shake it when needed. The design overall is great, I was really impressed by how low-maintenance it is. The only thing I wish is that it would come in a larger size… if this is XL I can’t imagine how small the “large” is. My cats seem cramped in it even though it is not enclosed. For this price I would really wish for a larger box with higher sides to reduce the amount of pellets that get kicked out.
