    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。
    コメントいただいた方、ありがとうございます!!

      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.

    I just want to tell you that me and my boyfriend discovered your channel 3 months ago and since then we've been watching every new video you post! We love it! 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 !!!

      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."

    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.

    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

    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'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.

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

    These look nice, though my cat needs a covered box because she will paw the walls and hike poop and litter to the floor if there is no cover.

      I leave the carbon filter and door off the hood to keep open space concept.

      Thank you for watching.
      we need to choose the right toilet depends on cat caractor
      I was told in the comments section that some people use IKEA baby baths.
      It's deep, cheap, and has rounded corners so it's easy to scoop cat litter.

    Hilarious that he has a clock at the cats eye level, I guess so they know how much time they spend on the toilet so the other cat doesn't have to bang on the door? 😹

    I have always used storage boxes as litter boxes. They’re inexpensive, generously sized, and have a lid for travel.

    I've been using Ikea Samla boxes for litter trays for years now, only I use the tall ones, and cut a hole for the cats to use as a door halfway down the side of the box, to help stop them kicking loose litter out. It also helps stop the boy-cats from peeing out of the box if they decide to pee standing up.
