Purina Tidy Cats Non Clumping Litter System, Breeze XL All-in-One Odor Control & Easy Clean Multi Cat Box - 18 lb. Box

This is the best litterbox I've ever used. It's really big and roomy, which, in my opinion is essential for cats of any size to be able to move around comfortably. Ever since switching to larger litter boxes, it has completely eliminated accidents outside of the box.Initially I was using the XL high sided Scatter Shield litterbox, which I liked. However, I use paper pellet litter, and I was having to waste litter every week because the wet litter kind of disintegrates into "dust" and holds onto odor. Though I scoop the solids and as much wet litter as possible daily, I would still have to dump the whole thing every week because it's impossible to separate the dusty stuff from the pellets and scoop out, so I really wanted to try a litterbox with the the holes in the bottom for the dust and excess urine to fall through. The breeze system is perfect for that.I was hesitant to try this litterbox for a while because the sides of the litterbox rest on top of the base. I have a male cat who is a high pee-er, and I was worried that the urine would trickle down into the cracks between and leak. But when I finally decided to give it a try, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the edge of the sides that rests on the base has a groove, so the edge of the base sits between the groove, so it does not leak! I was also pleasantly surprised that the sides of the litterbox are not straight, but curve inward slightly, and so this seems to have eliminated my cat from peeing up over the side like he would sometimes do with our other high sided litterbox. So the Breeze system has eliminated all our problems, and I go through so much less litter. I still scoop solids and wet litter daily because I just like a clean litterbox, and feel it's more sanitary. I never have to dump my litter anymore, I just scoop what is dirty out, and the rest falls through the holes in the bottom. The remaining litter is clean and has no odor. I do not add more litter until its time to sanitize the box itself. To sanitize the box, I wait until the litter is low, move it all to one side, spray a paper towel and wipe down that side. Dry it, and move the litter to that side and clean the other side. Then I I add more litter to fill it. I'm never wasting ANY litter this way. I find this litterbox fairly easy to clean, too.There are some cons, but the pros by far out way them for me. The cons are1. You do have the extra expense of buying the pee pads for the bottom. However, the Amazon ones are cheaper and good quality, and they the size fits pefectly. And I only have to change the pads once a week, so in the long run, the cost of pads is far far less than what litter was costing me every month. I bought the pack of 40 and only using 1 a week, I will not have to buy more of them for quite some time. (Make sure to buy the unscented pee pads as scent may deter them)2. If you're using pellet litter, wet litter does sometimes gunk up in the bottom holes. Not a ton. And sometimes small pieces of broken litter get caught. This is easy to clean, I just take toothpick and punch everything through- simple, but can be time consuming so I stay on top of it every time I clean so that it doesn't get bad.3. My senior cat had stones in his bladder causing UTIs, and his urine was smelling insanely strong of ammonia. I was having to change the pads every other day to keep the odor down until his UTI was treated and gone. So I obviously had to buy pee pads much more often at the time- still worth it. BUT, normally, as long as your cat has normal urine, there is no odor until a week when the pee pad is full. There may be the slightest smell of urine, of course, but only when you're taking it out. It does not make the room smell. Multiple cats will obviously mean changing much more frequently.4. It is quite large so it does take up space. It's still worth it to me to have my cat be able to go comfortably and not have accidents. There are smaller versions, but they are not suitable for large cat breeds, and I personally still feel that it those are not enough space for average sized cats to comfortably move and eliminate.

After using multiple regular litterboxes, with various types of clay litter, I was completely OVER the tracking, the cleaning, the pure mess even with litter tracking mats. The stuff was everywhere, all the time, being tracked all over the house. I considered getting one of those self-cleaning boxes but they are incredibly expensive so while doing some research I came across this system and it was on sale for Black Friday so I figured I'd give it a try. I've been using it for almost a month now and here's my feedback.-The XL system is exactly that, very large. I probably could have gone with the smaller box as we only have one cat.-It's easy to set up, and comes with everything you need. For the XL system you need to use the 2 bags of pellets and even still, it won't fill the entire XL box so just be aware of that. Spread it out as best as you can (I haven't had any problems despite that).-The pads are super absorbent. Do change them 1x a week, as suggested, but wow I was surprised at how much they held.-The pellets have no smell, no dust, and while they do end up outside of the box they are large enough to pick up and I don't find any of them anywhere else in the house (thank goodness, finally).-The box has stayed relatively clean, no stickiness and clumps of litter mixed with urine that you have to scrape off the box (gross). Not to mention somehow my cat used to get it on the walls near the litter box with our old litter - EW. With these pellets we don't have that issue anymore.-You can scoop out the poops with ease, or, use poop bags and pick it up right out of the box - that seems to work well for me, then I can just throw it right out in a bag.-So far, there's no odor - though my cat's poops can clear out a room for sure, if I get it out of the box soon we don't have any issues. But as far as any urine odor coming from the pad, as long as you change it as recommended there's no odor.So yeah, so far I love this thing. I was worried about the pellets being expensive but you can find some pretty good deals on them and being that you only need to replace it once a month, for my sanity of it being so much cleaner than my prior litter, I'm OK with that.
