IRIS USA Top-Entry Cat Litter Box Large Hooded Privacy - Black/Gray, Paw-Perforated Lid & Scoop

The IRIS USA Large Top Entry Cat Litter Box is a hooded, privacy-style litter pan with a top-access lid and built-in litter-catching holes to reduce scatter and keep other pets out.

This roomy top-entry litter box from IRIS USA combines tall walls and a domed lid to give cats privacy while helping contain litter and odors. Crafted in the USA from global materials, it includes a snap-on lid, a molded scoop with a storage hook, and a perforated top that acts like a paw-mat to return tracked litter to the pan. The rounded interior gives cats space to turn, and the simplified latch system makes emptying and cleaning straightforward.

How does the top-entry design help with litter scatter and privacy?

The elevated, single-entry opening keeps loose litter inside the box and reduces sideways kicks that create a mess. The lid's small perforations remove cling-on granules from paws as the cat exits, dropping them back into the tray. The enclosed shape also shields the litter area from view and deters other pets from entering.

• Tall walls prevent sideways digging and contain sprays.
• Perforated lid channels loose litter back into the pan.
• Top access gives cats privacy and discourages dogs from intruding.

How easy is it to clean and maintain this hooded litter box?

The lid unhooks from the body for quick access to the interior, and the rounded corners make scooping and wiping simple. A molded hook on the unit stores the included scoop so it’s always at hand, and the hard plastic surface resists stains and odors when cleaned regularly.

• Quick-release lid for fast emptying and rinsing.
• Included scoop hangs on an integrated hook for organized storage.
• Smooth interior surfaces wipe clean with soap and water.

What size of cat and litter capacity works best with this box?

This IRIS USA model is sized to accommodate most adult cats comfortably while providing enough depth to hold litter without frequent overflow. The outer footprint and interior bottom dimensions give a wide turning area so even larger breeds can use it without feeling cramped.

• Outside dimensions: 20.5" L x 14.75" W x 14.38" H.
• Top entry diameter: 9.25" — roomy for most adult cats.
• Inside bottom area: 17" L x 11.5" W for comfortable movement.

Will my cat accept a covered, top-entry box and how do I introduce it?

Some cats adapt quickly to top-entry designs, while others may need gradual introduction. Place the new box near the old one, allow the cat to explore the exterior first, and keep it stocked with familiar litter. Short, supervised visits and positive reinforcement encourage acceptance.

• Start with the lid propped open so your cat can investigate.
• Keep the same litter type to reduce stress from change.
• Move slowly; give treats or praise when your cat uses the new box.
