My New Favorite Modern Cat Litter Box

*Today’s post was made possible by Modkat, and features gifted product for the purposes of a candid review. All opinions are my own.

One of the greatest joys of my life has been my role as a pet mom. Our rescue dog and two cats are collectively the light of our lives. They make us laugh, comfort us, and give me a reason to get out of bed during more difficult days, so I, of course, want to give back the same kind of love to them. We spoil the heck out of our pets! They want for absolutely nothing, and even their litter boxes are top of the line for their comfort. We’ve been using Modkat litter boxes for years, but we recently added their Flip Litter Box to our collection, and are really happy with it. I thought I’d share a little bit about it in case you’re on the hunt for a really easy to use and good-looking litter box for your own felines.

I actually got this litter box from Modkat when Gladys Jean was still a pretty small kitten. She was only a few months old at this point (she’s about eight months now), and I was anxious to see if she would have any trouble using it because of the height of the opening. Happily, she had absolutely no problems, and our 2-year-old cat, Marlo, also had no trouble getting used to her new litter box. So, my first point is that this one works for cats of all ages!

My tip for getting your kitten used to this type of adult litter box is to put an open air kitten-sized litter box right in front of the opening—in other words, pushed right up against the front opening of your adult litter box. Even if she just uses the kitten litter box outside the adult one to start, this will still get her used to going to the bathroom in that spot in your home, and she’ll eventually get curious enough to hop all the way through into the bigger box. Cats are exceptionally curious animals after all!

This method worked for us, and the full kitten litter box in front of the opening to our Modkat Flip Litter Box also acted as a “step” to allow our kitten’s tiny little legs to span the height of the adult box opening. That said, if you click through to the Instagram video that I posted of this box when we first got it, you’ll see that Gladys had no problem getting in and out of the adult-sized box right from the get-go. She hopped in all on her own, and has been using it regularly ever since.

As for clean-ability, this litter box is a breeze. Just like the name implies, the top literally flips backward in just a few quick lifts/folds with your hand, and then you have full access to the interior of the box for scooping. There’s a magnetic catch to hold the top in place when it’s fully extended across the upper part of the box, and it stands upright on its own at the back when you need to scoop used litter (we swear by this litter trash can, by the way!). The other nice thing about this flipping feature is that, if this will be the first lidded litter box for your cat, you can flip the lid halfway backward to allow them to ease into this type of design without a lid completely over their head. You can also, of course, leave the top off entirely if you prefer that functionality and look.

Like all of Modkat’s litter boxes, this one comes with a reusable/replaceable liner to keep the plastic clean and odor-free. I also appreciate the compact design. It doesn’t hold quite as much litter as our other extra large Modkat litter boxes, but the smaller silhouette is easier to place in our home and is less in-your-face visually. I love the white color but it also comes in gray if that’s more your style.

Anyway, we’re really happy with our Flip Litter Box and couldn’t recommend it more if you’re on the hunt for aesthetic pet home goods to try. Leave a comment or shoot me a private message if you have any questions about Modkat pet products. Like I said, we’ve been loyal users for years, and it’s genuinely the best, in my opinion. Happily, our kitties seem to agree!
