Sharing the best litterbox IMO
I've had this litterbox for 2 years, and it's pretty much the best option for a trucking setup. I keep the scooper in a plastic bag in the door cup holder, which keeps things cleaner. If the bag gets gross, I change it out for a fresh one. The litter amount they track out of that is very manageable. Photo of the side sticker is included, so people can search and find one if they want. I'm not brand affiliated, just want to help!

That’s perfect for the space available. Not sure my older cat would use it at home…Glad you found something that works, thanks for sharing. 😊

I see that one of your cats is doing yoga -- it's very important to keep your muscles limber when riding for hours.

She keeps me motivated to do my stretches! Yoga is very important after being in the seated position all day 😊

I had to Google what meezer meant, and I love the term, lol. That's going into my favorite word bank!
She's always doing something goofy, including the tongue blep quite often when she's napping.

The more cat subs, the better! Lol

I think there’s r/blackcats there might also be r/voids?

I clicked on Voids, but it is a private sub. We'll see if I get in with my request, lol.

Join all the cat subs! 🤣 I think there’s a whole list of them if you google it. I can’t keep them all straight. I’ve been on this website for too long and still find new cat subs to follow.

I have the same litter box, and I love it!! My cat, unfortunately, does the elevator butt move when peeing, and this is the only litter box that prevents him from making a mess everywhere

Elevator butt move 😂 I know what you mean though. The black cat is a litter flinger and loves to aggressively cover his business, so this keeps the litter from becoming the new floor outside of the box!

Are they good co-pilots?

u/Riiakess 22h ago
They're the best! I wasn't sure how well they'd adjust to trucking life, as they're already 3 years old, but they did great 😁

How’s the smell?

It smells like a litterbox for a bit when they use it, but I crack the windows for 10 mins and it's good. Other than a fresh turd, it doesn't really smell. I clean it whenever I get the chance; morning, 30 minute break, end of the day. I also keep the litter deep enough that the clumping action stays above the bottom. Once it gets shallow enough the clumps are starting to touch the bottom, I add more litter or change out the whole thing, depending on its condition. As long as you're not building up clump residue on the bottom, the smell is pretty manageable. I've found deeper litter makes a huge difference on cleanliness. I never need to wash out the box because I don't allow residue to build up on the bottom.

Trucker kitties have the cleanest litter boxes you'll ever see. They get scooped multiple times a day 😄

Lol the second one might fall in. I've kept my litter box there as well when I had my boys on the truck and the number of times they just slid off the side and right into it was funny
