With 2 cats in our home, and 4 dogs who love to eat their droppings, this is a perfect design for a litter box! The cats have their privacy (I know cats are weird,) and the dogs aren't able to reach inside and get their "treat." It comes with a convenient scooper to extend the life of the litter. The top has a great mat for the cats to wipe their paws after they've done their business.
