If you talk to any cat behaviorist, they’ll tell you that cats much prefer a litter box with a view 👀

However, if you do decide to get an enclosed litter box, make sure it’s an option with plenty of ventilation and visibility 🐈

    It’s too bad, that you don’t ship to Denmark. I was ready to spend a lot of money …

    you mean to tell me my cats a voyeur

  3. @87clits on August 29, 2025 at 5:22 pm

    No it’s because he peed up the back requiring the need for an enclosed litter box. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

    I have the litter box in a small room, we just leave the door ajar for the kittens. It’s jard wood floors with a rubber mat, but the box itself is an open steel box. It’s like a crawl space that’s clean, zero clutter, just litter box and litter.

    How does this stop the smell

  6. @dawna3094 on August 29, 2025 at 5:27 pm

    Unfortunately, I have dogs that like to eat cat poop 💩🤢, so I have to use a covered litter box!! I just checked out the “Cove” litter box you suggested but (1) it’s way out of my price range, and (2) the dogs would likely be able to get snacks. Oh well, it is what it is for me. Glad it works for you.

  7. @kristysmith858 on August 29, 2025 at 5:27 pm

    how do you even know that though?

  8. @nickalexander1907 on August 29, 2025 at 5:28 pm

    Cats are disgusting

  9. @ntro222 on August 29, 2025 at 5:28 pm

    Bullshit my cat uses a boxed one

  10. @jayrayne6513 on August 29, 2025 at 5:29 pm

    my cat loves her enclosed litter box . no trouble at all and it has a draw so very easy to refill and clean .

  11. @eldritch_horror_hotline on August 29, 2025 at 5:29 pm

    my cat is severely cross eyed and I feel like that plays a part in why he likes closed in litter boxes

  12. @SweatnCancer on August 29, 2025 at 5:29 pm

    If my cat wasn’t such a dick who will look at me in the eyes then fling litter by the masses out of the box I wouldn’t need a enclosed the last straw was when I went to sleep and found my cat had kicked out every piece of litter cuz he thinks it’s a game and plays in the litter as well he was costing me few hundred dollars a month cuz I even tried one of those high side litter boxes and he still did it thank God for enclosed boxes

  13. @Church-the-void on August 29, 2025 at 5:30 pm

    Mine doesn’t mind enclosed litter boxes. Currently he has a framed litter box though. The roof made more litter get stuck on him 🙁

  14. @kiiiirbzzz on August 29, 2025 at 5:31 pm

    Nope mine use the enclosed litter box just fine

  15. @noname8151 on August 29, 2025 at 5:32 pm

    My cat turn his back and look wall while using his litter box. I am sure enclosed will be totally ok with him

  16. @krzysztofjojczuk1466 on August 29, 2025 at 5:35 pm

    I spent a long time trying to deal with scattered litter and fur all over the place… Finally found something that works. Maybe it’ll help someone else too 🙂

    Get rid of the music! I am hearing impaired and cannot understand what you are saying even with my hearing aids!!!!

  18. @sarahr.8021 on August 29, 2025 at 5:36 pm

    I prefer poop not getting flung out

  19. @Mountainman524 on August 29, 2025 at 5:37 pm

    I don’t care about what my cat wants. I don’t wanna smell their shit so it needs to be enclosed.

  20. @SareBear2000 on August 29, 2025 at 5:39 pm

    Similar to what some of the people have been saying here, my cat prefers his closed litter boxes. I initially got him an open one as a kitten and he would dig out all the litter and even go outside of the litter box. So I got him a larger open litter box and he would do the same thing. I figured he thought this was a game so I got him a closed litter box and he went in there perfectly, never went outside the litter box ever again period and so I upgraded and got him another larger closed litter box and he never went back to the open one again so I just kept both closed the litter boxes.

  21. @ryanfuller3835 on August 29, 2025 at 5:41 pm

    The moment anyone starts to speak for an animal about their thought process, I immediately tune them out because no one fkn knows shit about what animals are thinking

  22. @timgibson3754 on August 29, 2025 at 5:42 pm

    I have feces on the wall.

  23. @danielleelias9133 on August 29, 2025 at 5:46 pm

    Probably $300 for a open litter box so they can still get litter everywhere

  24. @Church-the-void on August 29, 2025 at 5:47 pm

    Saw the price and… just get a framed one for $13 to $25. The cove is way too expensive

  25. @axlbeorn4286 on August 29, 2025 at 5:49 pm

    cats dont care whethe enclosed or not as long as they can bury their droppings or pee.

    Maybe for your cat lol

  26. @down1plus2 on August 29, 2025 at 5:50 pm

    $200 for that litter box makes no sesnse

  27. @loving_lioness3518 on August 29, 2025 at 5:51 pm

    We use giant plastic tote bins. No lid, and cut out a walk through opening in the front 👍

  28. @thebookreader287 on August 29, 2025 at 5:52 pm

    Mine prefers closed

  29. @chilldicko on August 29, 2025 at 5:53 pm

    PSA or AD?

  30. @PotatoewithaB on August 29, 2025 at 5:53 pm

    my male cat likes to pee vertically 🫠 is this vertically proofed?

  31. @oceanez303 on August 29, 2025 at 5:53 pm

    PSA:I don’t want a $200 litter box

  32. @nope2075 on August 29, 2025 at 5:54 pm

    It’s $200 for that litter box. Umm… no.

  33. @FranksWorldNYS on August 29, 2025 at 5:55 pm

    For $200 I’m bout to slap somebody

  34. @Pudnite on August 29, 2025 at 5:56 pm

    I really do not care

  35. @angieklinck5996 on August 29, 2025 at 5:56 pm

    A $200 litter box that doesn’t scoop itself? No thanks. But my cats do prefer an open box. I have a top entry one and 5 cats and only one of the cats will use that one.

  36. @annemann15 on August 29, 2025 at 5:57 pm

    It’s weird to me that someone would speak in such absolutes as if he knows what every cat wants…BS!
    It’s a nice enough design, good luck but please stop with this marketing approach.

  37. @DyLemmaOG on August 29, 2025 at 5:57 pm

    True. I’m finding out my cats hate enclosed litter boxes. They were fine before and then I started putting the hood on and they now poop and piss on the damn floor sometimes and nothing has fixed that for a month. Going to take the hood back off because they don’t seem to like it at all.

  38. @neilbradley9035 on August 29, 2025 at 6:01 pm

    I’ve got an enclosed litter box for my 2 cats, clean it 3 times a day.

  39. @MrAlittle5150 on August 29, 2025 at 6:02 pm

    My cat Peanut and I watched your video together, and she said your full of $h!t💩 . She said, she likes the enclosed box.🐱‍👤

  40. @steveo124 on August 29, 2025 at 6:03 pm

    I’m sorry to my cat but u just gonna have to deal with it 😅 there ain’t no predators in our house my boi

  41. @KymoraG on August 29, 2025 at 6:06 pm

    useless crap. You will spend less on a clear rubber made tote.

  42. @Randomynous01 on August 29, 2025 at 6:08 pm

    I would make it half its length just to stop the litter from spilling outside

  43. @cadosbeene on August 29, 2025 at 6:08 pm

    That litter box is $200…

  44. @lordmalice8368 on August 29, 2025 at 6:10 pm

    Just leave the hatch open, or take the door off

  45. @PcMeowster on August 29, 2025 at 6:12 pm

    Keep the litter out of sight? Bullshit.
    Keep litter inside of a litter box. My has open one and it’s often outside as cat spreads it around every time it’s burying shit or piss.

  46. @amsdetailing on August 29, 2025 at 6:15 pm

    I just spoke with my cat and he said he doesn’t mind it

  47. @Gonzalez0110 on August 29, 2025 at 6:15 pm

    I don’t know what your talk about. My girls refuse to use an open box. Except my Lucy, she’s feral, she don’t care. But my twins, they like their privacy.

  48. @Applefablestudio on August 29, 2025 at 6:16 pm

    thanks! I’m new to cat items so this was very helpful

  49. @rg1whiteywins598 on August 29, 2025 at 6:19 pm

    And for people who are too lazy or grossed out to clean the box, get a plushie instead. You don’t have to do anything for those.

  50. @coastalcoyote on August 29, 2025 at 6:19 pm

    My problem is dogs getting into the litter box. I live in a one bedroom apartment, and there are no spaces I can put litterboxes that the dogs can’t get to. I am going to try to make something like a furniture piece to put the litterbox in, but with mesh or possibly acrylic sides. I don’t care about seeing a litterbox; I just don’t want my dogs to be able to get into it. There don’t seem to be any good solutions for that other than making sure the dog can’t get into the litterbox room, which isn’t always possible for people.
