 smelly litter on stairs May 31, 2008
This is no were like the Boda max that was truly order free. Cats use it littler gets on the steps and floor box smells .No matter what kind of litter you use. Even if you scoop each day like I do. Not worth the money. Please bring the boda max back.
 Great for older cats and those with hip/joint problems May 31, 2008

I've got a geriatric cat with litter box issues and so far this has been the best box I've used with him. Here's what I like about it:
- Low profile entry way with ramp
My cat Steve's back legs and hips have been getting progressively weaker (he's over 18) which makes it difficult for him to get up and over the lip of traditional litter boxes. The low entry way and ramp on the Booda are great for him to get in and out of the box easily.
- Big deep litter area
Steve also has kidney problems which necessitates subcutaneous fluid treatments to help flush his kidneys. This means he urinates frequently so the litter box fills up quickly. The Booda's litter pan is big and deep so it can handle all the little stops he makes without getting too dirty.
- Hooded for cleanliness
We always kept our litter boxes in the basement, but once Steve was no longer able to navigate stairs easily he started to have accidents on the 1st & 2nd floors of our house. We decided to put a litter box in the dining room but it was always a big ugly mess. Litter would get everywhere and he would sometimes pee just outside the box even tho' he was standing right in it (lots of fun). The Booda solves all this with its hooded design. Steve is fully "contained" in there and the dining room smells way, way better.
Still, there was one modification I needed to make:
- The ramp has undulating ridges with little plastic nodules on it to (theoretically) de-litter-ify cat feet. In practice however, Steve runs down the ramp as fast as possible (uncomfortable on his pads I imagine) and usually ends up slipping a bit. To fix this, I cut out a section of an old bath mat and covered the ramp with it. This gives him soft traction and also rubs the excess litter from his feet. Bath mats are perfect since they have rubber backing on them that grips the ramp and doesn't slip down the incline. Also, when the mat gets dirty I can just throw it in the washer.
Altogether the Booda Dome has been a great find for Steve and I. He hasn't thanked me outright, but I can sense he's happier...
 Love this thing March 4, 2008
We have a new stray who was making a mess with his box -- really going to town tossing the litter all over. After checking out several lidded boxes with hinges and doors that looked breakable, I went with the Booda Dome. I love the way the top just fits over the bottom, without any hinges, etc -- it won't break! The only thing that annoyed me is, there were several Booda Dome liners next to the Domes in the store, but they don't fit the box. Apparently LARGE is not large enough, and there is a JUMBO size. The liner that came with the box fit fine, but the extra packs do not. I'm hoping the store will let me return them and they'll have the size I need. Also not crazy about the fact that the litter scoop tears the plastic liner bags ... it seemed to work with the liner that fit, but the scoop is shredding the small liners. Aside from that, it has certainly contained the litter for this messy barn cat, and there is no foul odor from the box. Great product!
A little common sense and I have no complaint January 16, 2008

This is by far the best litter box we have owned...and we have owned quite a few. There are a few things I have noticed other consumers complaining about: the liners ripping, the smell, cats not using the ramp and so on and so forth.
But here's a few things that are just common sense when you own a cat. If you cat has any of its claws, the liner will rip. Its a cat litter box...it will stink at some point or another, just clean it. If your cat doesn't use the ramp but the box still works, does it really make it a product flaw? And obviously, one box for every one cat.
The design is pleasing to eye however not easy to hide, easy to clean...if you pay attention and absolutely cuts down the dispersment of litter. I have never experienced an odor problem personally, but then again I did not purchase this litter box to somehow escape the chore of scooping poo.
My advice is(because owners are just as picky about litter boxes as their feline counter-parts) it doesn't hurt to explore options as we have and we could not be happier with our find.

i got this for my cat to help keep the house clean, but this new litter box was a problem because it was to small.
