Modko ModKat Cat Litter Box

I bought this litter box for one of my cats who is a vertical peer. The quality of the materials is really exceptional. It looks nice and it has sorted out the vertical peeing problem. However, there is plenty of lose litter and litter dust around the box and the hollowed-out handle of the litter scoop almost feels like a manufacturing error - when you sift through the litter, some of it collects in the handle and then ends up on the floor as you empty the contents of the scoop into a bag.

We decorated our spare bedroom and had the floors sanded so we did not want a standard litter tray anymore.2 of our 3 cats took to it immediately, one is 17 years young and navigates its easily. Some tiny bits of litter does escape on their paws but definitely not as much as before and never clumps like before. I am currently pregnant so this was a gift of sorts to my Hubbie, but I think its a safe option for when the baby comes also esp when a toddler. We are already considering a second.

Not sure what the previous reviewer is ranting about as the only part that needed 'putting together' was the lid that slides into place? Oh, and you have to actually put the plastic liner in, it fits well and doesnt move. Not really that difficult so dont be put off! Lovely box, expensive but worth it. I use Worlds Best litter with it and there is zero tracking which is wonderful. I had a trial of the Cats Best and there is a tiny bit of tracking.

I bought this back in November and have been really impressed with it! My husband was outraged at the price haha, but is too very happy with this litter tray. We have limited places to keep a tray and now this can sit in the corner of our living room without it being unsightly and smelly. It took a week or so for our cat to start using it (so worried after what we paid!) with a gradual changeover, and he is a large boy and seems to get in and out ok. Cleaning is also easy and we find it doesn't need changing as much and tracking is less.

Yes this is a ridiculous price tag but really this is the best cat litter tray I have used. I have a British Shorthair and she took to using the box straight away. I use clumping litter and find it's easy to scoop. It is stylish and blends in well to our small flat. This does not completely eliminate tracking but has reduced it significantly. It's a steep price tag but it's well worth it.

After owning this box for 5 months, I have just purchased another one for upstairs. I still think almost daily, that it is essentially a posh bucket, and did I really spend £114 on it? However, it is the little design details that make it honestly worth every single penny. Cleaning the litter tray is never going to be a favourite task, but this tray makes it as good as it could possibly be. Definitely recommend.

I had to find litter box suitable for current apartment size since the previous one was too big and I have heard only good things about Modkat. My only concern was that how my two cats will learn how to use Modkat's box. Fortunately the learning took 5 seconds and my cats were into it right away. The litter box is quality product and also litter sand friendly - before the cats would drag the sand all the way to bedroom and it could be found from everywhere. With Modkat, the litter sand is now either on top of the box or very close by. I sincerely recommend this product to all cat owners although the price is expensive, it's still the 'iPhone' of litter boxes.

Our three cats (2-4 kg) absolutely loved this from day one! Easy to clean, stylish, good quality. Keeps litter in the box. Sadly, too small for large cats (8 kg and up).

I bought one of these two years ago because I liked the top entry design and overall look and solid build (if not the very hefty price tag...). All four cats tried it; one used it for a while fairly consistently when young, then all stopped using it given any other litterbox choice (and two refused to use it at all). I think the main problem is that the space inside is very small and cramped for many cats, especially larger toms. I just dragged it out again to try to get two new kittens to use it so that it wasn't a total waste of money. To me the key point was that given the choice of several types of boxes in the house, cats preferred other form factors and not this (even when it was swapped around by location). I'd consider a larger and lengthier shape but to be honest, for a fraction of the cost it's easy to do a hack with a storage box and lid, with an opening cut in the lid... wish the cats had liked the box more as it is attractive in a world of ugly litter boxes.

Like many other customers, I was really reluctant to spend over 100 quid on a cat loo - but this is such a great product that it's almost worth it! I still think the price tag is way too high, but the ModKat is very well designed and it really does work as described. My two cats are both pretty fussy about their loo, and their first reaction to the ModKat was to scowl and walk away. Big tabby cracked first - she hates doing her business outside, so she sidled up to the ModKat, gave it a thorough sniff, and got in. Little black cat took about a week to warm to it - she used one of my flowerbeds in the interim - but now both cats have completely accepted the ModKat, and very glad I am. It's a much more elegant solution than any other litter box. I'm moving into a new property that doesn't have a utility room and I wasn't looking forward to having an ugly plastic cat loo on show. The ModKat is not small, but it's as elegant as a cat toilet can possibly be, and the screen keeps about 90% of the litter from clinging to their paws and winding up on the floor. At most there are a few crumbs to sweep up after the cats finish up and exit. I'd been used to putting a very small amount of litter in the old litter try, and dumping it regularly, but you really do need to put a good 2" depth of litter in the ModKat. The liner is seamed, and if the litter gets too shallow, it is possible for some liquid to seep through the liner into the box itself. This isn't a huge issue, as the ModKat is very easy to clean, and surprisingly, it doesn't actually mean that you use loads more litter - the fact that the liner is flexible means that clumps of used litter come away intact without contaminating the clean litter. I remove solids and soiled clumps once a day, then replace all the litter and clean the box about once every week to ten days and have had no problems with odour at all. My only worry is that my cats, who love to dig in their litter box, will rip the liner, but so far that hasn't happened. All in all I'm delighted with the ModKat - it gets five stars for performance, but I'm only giving it four stars as I really do think they could bring the price down :)

I was quarrelling a lot with myself to buy this ridiculously expensive toilet but now that I've done it I have to say I don't regret it. - My Russian Blue kitten loves it, had to try it "litter"ally immediately after I set it up. My other cat was a bit suspicious at first but late in the evening I heard him sneaking in there as well. - It's extremely good looking, the main reason for me to buy it in the first place, but: - Best of all, no spray litter anymore! The grid works quite well. And even though they sometimes jump directly to the floor out of the box in a funny parabolic jump, nearly no litter is flying around anymore. If you put the box in a corner with the hole facing the corner, the parabolic action is not possible anymore so they have to jump on the grid. I was a bit concerned the cats wouldn't cover their poo properly in that box but they manage just fine. It's big enough for both of them, even my big shorthair tomcat, to maneuver sufficiently. Can't understand the price though. I'd bet a lot more people would buy it if it was around 85€ - 100€ which would still be expensive but at least much more reasonable. Only four stars, and that's only because of the price. The product itself is amazing. Altogether very happy with it.

I'm surprised that there are no copies of the ModKat on the market. To be honest, this box is a major relief from tracking, spilled litter, smells, painful cleaning, etc. etc. And cats love it. It took me no time to train my two kittens to use it. And the time it saves in cleaning litter that has been thrown out of the box from aggresive digging is well worth the price.

I have had my Modkat for quite a long time now and I would never buy any other litter tray! I thought I was going mad when I bought a litter tray for so much money but I am so glad that I did. I have two cats and I was a little worried that they wouldn't use it. However they both just popped in! I like it because my cats can dig in the litter without leaving a huge mess! There is a little tracking of litter but not very much. I bought a second liner and swap and wash the liners every couple of weeks. I just want a pink one now!!

I bought one of these thinking they were really expensive but went off the reviews on here, I was not disapointed, it really reduced the litter comming out of the tray, so much so I got a second one. Love them, really worth the money to stop the litter tracking all over the place.

I bought this because my 10week old kitten was scattering litter all over the place and then trailing it all through my flat. I have a really small flat and nowhere I could obviously store a large hooded litter box without being unsightly. I opened the Modkat about an hour and half ago. It certainly seems easy to change and clean. I let Martha watch me fill it up and add some litter from her old tray. Then followed an anxious time - Martha spent much of this time siting on the top and looking inside anxiously; I spent most of it anxiously waiting to see if she'd go inside (while pretending not to) because, while it's attractive for a litter box, I don't really want what, if she doesn't use it, is just a very expensive blue box. And success! She just used it, had a good dig around and then popped out...with no litter on the carpet. I'm not convinced it will be 100% effective at containing litter that gets on her paws but it certainly contains that which she throws around. Negative points: 1) no filter - while it does contain the smell reasonably well it's not smell free 2) even though I knew the dimensions it still a lot bigger than I expected though I suppose it needs to be big enough for a large adult cat 3)not convinced I'd want to use the scoop and then just hang it there on the side when it's possibly not entirely clean. Despite these small things I would say that overall I'm very happy with it. It looks a lot better than a standard tray and seems very effective at containing the litter.

I got a blue Modkat recently for the bathroom as we wanted a litter tray that looked nice, was easy to clean and would help prevent tracking. The modkat certainly met all of those requirements and my selkirk rex loves it. I also have two ocicat boys who use it, although it seems a little cramped for them. No problems with the button yet - I've had it a month and the liner is starting to wear but it still works perfectly for now.

The price of this box is enormous but I think the amount of work it saves makes it worth it for me. My cat is a digger and kicks litter all over the place when using a traditional tray. Hopefully he'll be around for another ten years at least, and this litter box can prove its worth.

Just bought the yellow box two weeks ago and our cat used it straight away. No problem at all. It's very easy to clean, just flip the top. No hassle with removing the top. Good use of space and looks nice. Toilet cleaning no longer a hassle...lot of money but after evaluating pro and cons, worth it.

Have had this for a few weeks before writing the review. Very pleased with this product, despite what seems a high price for a litter tray. I have cats who go mad trying to cover their mess - usually sending the cat litter everywhere without covering anything! With this, which they took to straight away, they can go mad as they like and nothing escapes. What a great idea the cleanable liner is - easy to clean, very strong, etc. Can't recommend this highly enough.

I bought it for my 3 months old siberian kitty and I was sure she will have to grow up for this litter box. Couldnt be more mistaken. She discovered it very quickly and use it more often than a normal tray or Litter Robot. And do not make any mess around (cant say it about other litter boxes). It looks very clean and elegant, is easy to clean, have a nice fancy spot to place a litter scoop and my kitty likes it. The only thing I would improve is a color - my white one looks more like a cream /ecri and does not go too well with popular white glossy furniture. I recommend it anyway ;)
