Van Ness CP77 Enclosed Sifting Cat Pan/Litter Box, Extra Large

I bought this pan to keep my pet's mess under control and after a little coaxing she went and used the pan. The clean-up was a breeze and no bags or deodorizers were needed. I wish I would have seen this product sooner. The only set back is that you have to use it with the more expensive clumping litter, but other than that this is a great product. I find my self telling all my family members about it as well. I have to say, money well spent.

First of all it is high quality construction MADE IN THE U.S. of A.!!! I found it fits the bill for me, I will say that the "nesting" pans are too tight and cumbersome to seperate due to the weight of the litter in the top pan, soulition: I do not nest them keeping the empty one seperately, I have pleanty of room so this works best for me. With the pans not "nested" the side clamps for the cover do not "hook on" but this is also an advantage for me being arthritic and gravity keeps the cover in place just fine. It only takes a moment to lift the "strainer" and dump it into a pail with a plastic bag for disposal. Yes the strainer does get a little "build-up" of wet litter so about once a week it gets a hosing out in the yard. All and all it is very easy to use and clean up is quick and easy with a garden hose. As for the door/flap I opted not to use it as the litter box is kept outside on a screened piazza and being in south Florida I am afraid that the interior would build up too much heat, especially in the summer.
