Can anyone tell me the actual height of what looks like a LOW lip height at the opening? Saw was recommended for older cats but 9 inches is not low.

I think it is just under 5 inches. It will work fine for an older cat. My oldest is 12 and he uses it without any problems.

I measured the box height. The opening is about 4.75 inches and the rest of the box is about 8.75 inches high. I hope this works. Good luck finding a box for your kitty!

Mine are about the same size, they have poked their heads in and scratched while being on the outside, it may not be tall enough for them to be comfortable. I haven't seen them lounging in the opening but they LOVE sitting on the top, side by side. And it will last for years! I have the older designs. Update: I have seen all 3 of my cats lounging in the opening. They really love this.

I have a 16 pound maine coon boy. This is really too small for him ( of course he is the one who most wants to use it). The ladder leads up, and into the cubby box, which is very small, with small openings. He cannot fit into it, he can sense it is too small. Technically going through the cubby is how the cat is supposed to gain access to the platforms/ other levels as well. The circular platforms are about the size of a small pizza. The most a large cat can do is sit/ perch. There is not enough room for them to lay down/ chill out. I would recommend this for cats under 10 lbs. Its the right size for my 8-9 lbs siamese.

For the small size, the width of the actual opening is 5", the height of the opening is 8-1/4", and from floor to top of opening is 9-1/2". I use mine for an 11 pound cat, if that helps any.

Ditto the previous response. Doree Tateoka's measurements are right on. I really like my two Flip Litter Boxes for our 'wall spraying' kitteh. Remember, once your cat steps into the box he/she will be a couple inches higher depending on how much litter you use.

The front panel where the opening is is 16 1/2 high and 14 wide. (The top lid sticks out a bit) The opening where the cat enters is 8 wide and 10 high and it is 6 1/2 inches from the ground. Approx measurement because I have a mat under mine so my tape measure didn't quite hit the floor. Hope that helps.

Our cat is a 10-pound Siberian female. The extra-small was too small. It did go over her head, but her face was too close to the blue fabric, and the fabric was too short. She *may* have been able to get to her 6" incision on her belly (she had a kidney removed). The small fit well but was a little long, so I just cut about 1.5" off around the edges and she could move and eat more comfortably.

Yes it is too short that os true but add pipe to the cat and it will fit if you have any other questions just feel free to ask ^-^

If you mean the thing mid tree, its approx 16" diameter. The circle thing under the top level..... My small 8 to 10 pound cats heads will barely fit, and their bodu would hang paws out both ends. Totally uselss tube. Looks good in pic though. Rest of tree ok. Be aware that the fabric on each end of the scratch posts will come.off easy. Recomend a tree with full wrap post. Replace this tree w/ arma cat tree. Slightly more sturdy, all fatensrs are bigger.

My vet told me that the edge of the collar should reach the tip of the animal's nose; meaning when the collar is on your pet, you should be able to press it toward the nose and it should reach the tip of the nose. The circumference of the neck is somewhat less important because the collars are adjustable. I ordered the small for my 10lb cat, but it was way too small. I recommend the medium. I actually had one that was too long and the cat could barely get around, so my hubby trimmed it to fit better. I hope this helps. This brand is pretty clear, which is a huge plus in helping the animal move around.

I got the s/m when my cat was around that size, though he did grow out of it relatively quickly (young maine coon) if you go to the makers website they have neck and chest measurements that will help you too! there is some play as its velcro and there is a built in level of adjustment. hope that helps some

The largest opening is about 4"x2". I have cats to. Pretty sure it's too small for them.

Cut a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" hole in a piece of cardboard and see if he can get through. It might be a tiny bit taller than that, but no wider. The door flap makes the vertical space smaller than it looks. My cat loves it, but she's tiny (7 lbs).

I measured mine and the actual opening is 5 X 71/2. Our cat is 11lbs. and just fits through it. Hope this helps

I measured and it's 5.5 inches....my other 7 litter boxes range from 6-8 inches. The entry in sloped, so it does look lower than 5.5. The bottom of the slope is 5 inche. It slopes upwards.

As I recall (because I don't have it any more), the diameter of the opening was a little less than a foot, and even my petite kitty couldn't walk through it standing up. None of my three cats used it. I think the close quarters spooked them.
