Why it matters
IRIS's open box has a high scatter shield on all sides, so diggers and high-peeing cats keep litter and urine inside while the top stays open and airy.
It's 19 x 15 in and 11.75 in tall.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Diggers
- High-peeing cats
- Cats that dislike hoods
Look elsewhere if
- Cats that need a self-cleaning box
- Kittens with high entries
- Very large cats in small boxes
Pros and cons
Pros
- High sides
- Open top
- Low price
Cons
- Standard size
- Plastic scratches
- Entry height for seniors
Limitations to weigh
- Keep one box per cat plus one, in quiet spots away from food.
- Aim for a box about 1.5 times your cat's length; bigger is almost always better.
- Switch boxes gradually: put the new box beside the old one for a week.
