Troubleshooting
Cat is hesitant to use the top-entry design.
Encourage use with cat treats or toys. Place familiar bedding or a favorite item inside. Some cats may need a few days to adjust; patience is key.
Litter is still scattering despite the design.
Ensure the litter depth is appropriate. Check if the lid is securely fitted. Consider using a litter with a larger grain size, which tends to scatter less.
Lid is difficult to remove for cleaning.
Ensure you are pushing down slightly on the lid while lifting the sides to disengage the clips. If debris is stuck, clean around the edges first.
Odor control is not as effective as expected.
Ensure adequate litter depth and perform daily scooping. Consider using an odor-absorbing litter or an activated charcoal filter if applicable to your litter type. Empty and clean the box more frequently.
