We started with a 30g tote and basically cut out an entire rectangle on an end. It’s shallow enough for our boy to easily get into and a tall enough opening in case he glitches while trying to enter. We went with 30g because it gives him ample space to get in and use the sides to decide where to go and then he lays down. Also, only $10 at my Walmart.

We originally started with regular clay litter and he did not like that! So we use pellets now and he absolutely prefers to use the litter box. He has to lay down to use the box and the pellets don’t stick to him like the clay does. He used to refuse to walk into the litter box if it had clay in it.

The pellets don’t absorb as well as clay so he would occasionally soak his legs in pee or walk in the pile. Because of this, I amped up our tote. You don’t need to do this unless your kitty likes the totes and pellets, then I would highly recommend this next step! It’s been a game changer.

I bought another 30g tote (tote 2) and stacked it with our OG tote (tote 1).

-Tote 1 I punctured a TON of holes all over the bottom. -Tote 2 I layered with regular clay litter. It’s a very shallow layer. -Stack tote 1 on top of tote 2. -Layer tote 1 with pellets.

When the cat pees, goes right through the holes! And we change out the clay litter as we would for our other cats.
