I'm wondering if my 16lbs kitty will fit in there and if this is available in Canada? It is a little Pricey in my opinion, but if it works from keeping kitty litter off my floor and from my moms dogs getting into it when she visits, it might be worth it :) plus it looks ultra modern!

Certainly takes care of hiding an ugly litter box in a house where tucking it away in a basement is not possible. I still don't like the idea of having to clean the box, tho....many new cat litter boxes are completely automatic. Very sleek!

WHY? Because then you could: 1. Take out one liner bag (filled with litter and... poop). 2. Put the new one in. 3. Snap the scooper over the entry hole. 4. Pour the litter back in over the scooper. 5. Scooper picks up the poop, clean litter goes back into the box. 6. Unsnap scooper (ooh! the poop & clumps would be in the scooper, no scooping!) and toss poop. 7. Voila! Cat owner heaven! Could you invent this for "version 2"? (And send me a prototype? :D) Oh yes, and my cat is 16lbs and NOT the biggest cat in the world so hopefully this product comes in multiple sizes. Otherwise, great idea and good design!

I live in Brooklyn Heights and have been anxiously awaiting your modkat. Unfortunately I am unemployed right now and worried that I won't be able to afford one when it comes out. Any chance that you guys need a few people to try it out and write reviews or do marketing for you? I have lots of cat friends!! Thanks! Amy Winnewisser Hey!

It keeps the dog out, (he likes "chocolates") and I can line the top of the lid with a shaggy bath mat to catch litter. I got the 20 gallon size, to accomodate my chubby cat, and it works great. When they get older, I'll have to go to a low open pan, but by then, the dog will be long gone. A much more stylish version of my Rubbermaid bin with a hole cut in the lid.

As to top-entry for older cats, I/we use spiralrampkittypole thingy, to allow gentle climb/wild leap! LOL whichever works. Good luck with your endevours, P Excellent idea,

Rather than holes, it simply has zig zag plastic on top to catch the litter and when I empty it i dump the excess litter back in. Downside? It looks like a storage bin. This box looks darling AND has the great top entry that cuts down on litter tracking so much. I can't wait til they come out and I can get an attractive AND functional litter box!! I will be buying at least one. Anyone want my littermaid? I hate it! ~Annie I have the CleverCat box (same general idea but looks more like a rubbermaid) and it works marvelously.

I think a lot of the litter will probably end up on top of the box, between the holes. They could make the holes bigger, and the cat would still be able to jump out.
