I never had any problem with the door falling off, check to make sure it is connected to the box correctly, if not request another one. Hopes this helps..

The lid on mine comes off extremely easily because there are no locks/latches to attach the bottom to the top. A good, strong wind could possibly blow it off. I would look for a covered litter box that looks more like this and has the locks on the side to secure it:http://www.catsofaustralia.com/images/litterpan12.jpg

I have not had any problems with that. My cats are notorious for tipping the litter box over when I had a smaller one with shorter walls. This one has been fine.

Yea, not so much. My dog just puts her head in the hole and flips the entire top off. I drilled through the plastic and crated latches (that are a pain for ME to use when cleaning the litter box),and my dog broke the top while trying to shove her entire body into the little cat hole. the only solution I have found is to make a custom wooden box with a maze entrance (which one of my cats hated), and to have a litterbox in a dog-proofed area of the house.

Did you ever find anything that would work for your cat? I have the same issue I'm trying to resolve...cat box in the laundry room but want to keep the kiddo out.

About the only different is the special "ribbed" surface of the lid. It is designed to catch the litter stuck to the bottom of the cat's paws as they exit the box. The raised ridges allow loose granules of litter sand to fall in between them. I have perceived a little actually landing there from my small cat but not a lot. However, I can't say that I have noticed any litter on the floor around the box either. So maybe the litter I use is not very "sticky". :) But the feature is good in principal and I would pay the price for that if it keeps the floor around the box cleaner. I am satisfied that it does. I also agree with the others in that the construction of this box is sturdy! The lid is not flimsy nor is the box. You could get by with a self-made box but I doubt it would function as well as this one overall nor look quite as professional.

This is a common problem --even more so the older the cat gets. The fresh news will also be a issue with this. What I do recommend is called Great Choice Litter mat. I have used this with 6 cats and 99% of litter stays on the mat which is easily picked up and shake back into box. Easy on their feet and easy to wash also. Don't see on amazon--got mine at petsmart. I also use fresh step multi cat CLUMPING litter which my vet recommended so the combination of fresh step and Great Choice mat really helped us....... Hope that helps ya........

There isn't a flap to get into the litter box. It is referencing the vented top that you can see in the picture. You can put a charcoal filter in the vented area to help with odors. This box has kept our dog out of the litter box and our cat had no problem learning how to use it.

we had one cat that refused to use it at first. we set up our genie in the upstairs bathroom where the original litterbox was and put the original in a different location all together. he still used that for a couple weeks eventually we had to take his option away to make him use his new litterbox. he finally got used to it. we love it. he prefers it without the hood though we found.

I have the same problem but cats vs dogs, I will order this and try it on the top of door but move it closer to the hinge side to open up the door more, I'll let you know the results Frank Ok, I installed on the top edge of the door about midway, it works fine to allow cats to their box. You have to be tall enough to unlatch when you enter though and overall it seems easy to break if you forget to unlatch, I wish it was stronger.

Because the top fits over the bottom, if a cat were to pee against the side of the litter box (from inside) there would be the possibility of it leaking out. Nothing to do with the hinges, however.

Yes, it definitely works and my cat loves it. My cat also enjoys sitting on top of it and hanging out. It looks very nice, considering it's for a litter box. I also got an extra large neutral color litter mat to go beneath it and it looks like a rug from a distance.

I've been using this box for some time now with 3 cats, 2 under a year and 1 older, all about average size. Haven't tried a liner but it does a good job of containing the litter. It seems the liner could be held in place at least partially by the top which is pretty secure with 4 good size snaps. Aligning the top can be a little tricky at first but easy to figure out. Hope this helps!

Sort of , it's more like a cupping device to keep the litter in. My son's cat used to do that too , turning around and peeing out the door. It does help it to stay in , like a splash guard, but nothings perfect when dealing with that. I keep an old towel under the litter pan and change it daily.its easier than cleaning it up after the pee goes under the pan and is floating. I do think the bottom lip on the pan helps quite a bit compared to the regular type of litter pans. We also got his cat the big corner pan as opposed the the smaller oval pan. That helps keep it in as well. Good luck to you ! Sort of , it's more like a cupping device to keep the litter in. My son's cat used to do that too , turning around and peeing out the door.

I no longer use the Lucky Champ litter box because the lower portion of the exit end proved to be too low - cat litter dumped & scattered everywhere all of the time. I had bought this box for my older, overweight cat but it just didn't work out. I have no idea whether you idea of putting 2 together will work - no longer know the W&L; as I donated the box - sorry.

This is definitely a question I should have considered before buying mine. My one cat likes to pee in the corner directly above the grate so it does require regular maintenance to clean out that spot or else it will build up where the scoop can't reach. I wouldn't call it a huge dealbreaker, though, just a minor inconvenience and still better than scooping out a normal litter box every day. (Also, I've noticed this problem gets worse if I don't occasionally even out the litter, since the grate tends to push it all forward and leaves those back corners a little low.)

No this box is very wide at the top, but it is hard for the cats to kick litter out of this box. I have replaced all my litter boxes with these.
