Operating Instructions

The Designer Catbox is designed for ease of use and to provide a private, contained space for your cat's litter box.

Placing the Litter Box:

• Open the top lid. The air-pressure safety hinge will keep it open, allowing hands-free access.
• Place a standard large litter pan (up to 22.5" L x 17" W) into the designated compartment. The interior divider can be removed if a larger, single space is preferred.
• Close the lid securely.

Cat Access:

• Cats enter and exit through the arched opening on the side panel. This design helps contain litter tracking and provides a secluded space.
• The interior panel helps guide the cat and further minimizes litter scatter outside the enclosure.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning is essential to maintain hygiene and prolong the life of your Designer Catbox.

Daily Cleaning:

• Open the top lid. The air-pressure safety hinge will keep it open, allowing hands-free access.
• Scoop the litter daily.
• Wipe down any visible spills or dust inside the enclosure with a damp cloth.

Deep Cleaning:

• Periodically remove the litter pan for a thorough cleaning.
• Wipe all interior surfaces of the enclosure with a pet-safe cleaner. The engineered wood material is designed to be easy to wipe clean.
• Ensure the interior is completely dry before replacing the litter pan.

Note: While the enclosure helps contain odors, daily litter box cleaning is crucial for optimal odor control.

Troubleshooting

Odor Control Issues:

• Ensure daily scooping of the litter box.
• Use high-quality litter designed for odor absorption.
• Consider lining the interior base of the litter box section with plastic for easier cleaning and to prevent urine seepage into the wood, which can cause odors.
• Regularly deep clean the entire enclosure.

Cat Not Using the Enclosure:

• Introduce your cat to the enclosure gradually. Place their existing litter box inside initially.
• Ensure the litter box is clean and appealing.
• Some cats may prefer the interior divider removed for more space.
• Verify the litter box size is appropriate for your cat and fits comfortably within the enclosure.

Lid Safety Hinge Issues:

• If the safety hinge does not hold the lid open securely, check for loose screws and tighten them as needed.
• Ensure the hinge mechanism is free from obstructions.
