    now i know from comment,I was wrong in measuring the body length.
    The head is not included in the body length, so the actual body length is 15.3inch(39 cm).
    This means that the required toilet size was 23inch(58.5 cm).
    Thank you for your comments!
    コメントでご指摘いただいた通り、体長の計り方を間違っていました。
    頭は体長に含めないそうで、実際の体長は39cm。
    つまり必要なトイレの大きさは58.5cmでした。

      One of my cats used to love to roll in the litter when it was fresh then come sit with me. I did not like the feel of the litter dust on her fur or on my hand or the smell of it. Not really a bad smell, just very strong laundry detergent smell. Also all that dust on her fur could not be good for her to ingest as she cleaned herself so I had to get unscented litter to stop her from rolling in it. But we have switched to pellets now.

    We found that our Bengals often pee standing up, so I got high sided storage boxes from my local hardware store to use for litter boxes.
    I also put the litter to 10cm deep so that the pee doesn't reach the bottom. This makes it much easier to scoop.
    I'm very grateful that my cats don't play in the litter tray like yours did!

      One of my cats did that when he was a kitten…. He also never learned how to properly bury it when he’s done so he just throws the litter. Like literally throws it, sometimes multiple feet outside of the litter box, then turns around and is confused why it’s not covered 😭

      My mum got tired of the kitty litter being flicked around so much so decided to buy a large storage container. Has been fine for our larger cat but our smaller cat started to pee in the bathroom. I put out a normal size tray and saw her peeing one day. She had her front paws on the edge of the tray. Turns out that's how she likes to do her business and the large container was too tall for her. She hasn't peed in the bathroom since. It also took me a stupid amount of time to realise I wasn't putting enough litter in the tray. Clumping litter needs to be deep.

      My cat will only play in litter box if they knew it is newly washed and the sands are newly pour in. Once there's a poop and pee, the play never occurs on that box. Once the box is full of pee or couple of poop, the meow starts while they are facing the litter box, its means one thing, "come and clean it up."

This video specifically changed our lives because we have 3 cats and one of them always peed on the floor since he was a kitten (he's now 4). We tried changing the litter, we tried having 5 litter boxes at the same time and nothing worked, he sometimes would stay one week without peeing on the floor but then again he would do it 🤣 we watched your video and thanks to you we bought a HUGE box and he loved it! It's been almost 12 days he's doing everything on the new litter box

THEN I PUT DUCT TAPE AROUND THE SECTION THAT I CUT OUT SO IT WOULD N'T HAVE SHARP EDGES . I DON'T USE THE LID THOUGH . I CLEAN IT SEVERAL TIMES A DAY BECAUSE MY CAT HAS A MALABSORBTION PROBLEM SO HE POOPS 6-8 TIMES A DAY . SINCE THE VET PUT HIM ON ' HILL'S PRESCRIBED DIET ' HE SEEMS TO BE POOPING LESS OFTEN. I ALSO HAVE HIM ON PROBIOTICS . HOPEFULLY, THIS ONE BAG MIGHT BE ENOUGH . IT COST $50 FOR 81/2 POUNDS !!! THE GIRL AT THE VETS OFFICE SAID I GET GET SOME COMPARABLE CAT FOOD AT THE PET STORE THAT'S CHEAPER SO I'LL CHECK IT OUT WHEN HE EATS ALL OF HIS ' HILL'S '

    I ran into this same issue with a huge, 25lb+ cat I had years ago. Very few mass produced things are built for cat that size, including litterboxes. I ended up finding a pair of rubbermaid totes and trimming them at the top to use as litterboxes. They worked great, and eventually became inserts for the custom cabinet we built for them.

    We have a BIG cat - he can't squat in a regular litter box and keep the poop in the box. So we use plastic storage boxes, inside a BIG storage tub to hold any litter he shoves out. The side of the tub was cut away for access.
    And if you place the exit over a BIG washable doormat it tends to trap most of the litter from the paws.
    Now if we could keep him from doing a parcour run in and out of the box that would be great.

    I went to my local ACE Hardware store and picked up a mortar tray for about $12.50. It is used for mixing mortar when you want to lay bricks or cinder blocks. It is 18 in wide, 24 inches long and about 6 inches deep. It is well made and better than any "Cat Litter Box".

    Good video. I’ve had many cats, and do something similar, but I use deep storage bins. I cut a U-shaped entrance on one side, with a litter mat outside the entrance. It’s, big enough to be comfortable, high enough that litter doesn’t get everywhere when they scratch the litter to cover their deposit. I still vacuum in the area every day, but it’s a million times cleaner than before.
    The commercial kitty boxes are way too small and shallow. Completely agree with this content creator

    I've been using really large plastic tote boxes for my cat since she was young. She doesn't mind the tall (maybe 18inch?) sides and it seems to help a bit with litter tracking and she doesn't kick litter out or "miss" the box. The tall sides dont stop litter tracking completely but it helps for sure. We deep clean the tote every few months with bleach and probably replace them every year and a half, or basically when the cat pee smell won't go away with a good clean.

    I already used IKEA boxes for my cat's litter box (SAMLA box I think). Im using it for the following reasons: It's big, I can see if there's any dirt on it, I can close it using the lid (good for traveling and weekends), my cat can pee or drop his dung even if I'm driving 50 km/hr.(but of course, we need to stop and throw the dung as it smells inside for few seconds.) and lastly it fits in my Hyundai Tucson. So, I bought 2 boxes, one for litter box and one for my cat's accessories (food, water fountain, accessories, medicines,etc. ) , it's easy to bring in and out of the house & load to my car. The bad side of it, the plastic is not scratch proof so it leaves some claw marks on the base. But overall, love the IKEA SAMLA

    Somebody finally got smart. My idea of a litter box is a large tote. The cement mixing pan works well, too, which I have done in the past. I have four large cats and until they have trouble getting into it due to old age, it's my final solution. I love the high sides. I also use wood pellet bedding (cheapest way to go and can be composted) which necessitates two totes, one inside the other with 1/4 inch holes spaced about 1/2 inch apart drilled in the floor of the top one to allow the saw dust filter into the bottom one. Big, all round cheap, used by all of them, BEST litter situation I have ever had over a lifetime of owning cats.

    I spun my litter box around so the low entryway was against the wall. They still flicked out the litter and I once caught one of them with their bum over the edge peeing outside the box.

      Thank you for watching.
      I should have prepared a parasol as well.
      It's a problem that all cat owners have, stepping on cat litter.
      I'd like to make a toilet that solves this problem.

    I have a huge 20 lb cat. Not only is he longer than other cats but he scratches out litter on floor. I simply went to Walmart or Home Depot, forgot which one, and bought huge storage box with lid. You can cut hole in lid or like me put lid under box for extra coverage should a crack appear in plastic. Very cheap and very large with high sides to keep litter in box.

    We have six cat so we need 7 litter boxes. To save our floor/ rug we use a large dog welding tray for all the litter boxes to sit in. A welding tray if for a new mommy dog who needs to nurse her babies and get time for herself. The mommy can get out but not the babies. We got one for a mastiff.
