Handicap Accessible Litter Box For Cats, Litter Box For Senior Cats Too!

Ойын-сауық

Handicap accessible litter box for cats. Purrfect for any special needs cat or senior cat. This easy DIY litter box is on $5 to make. It has an attached ramp and an elevated platform that is flush with the ramp. No need to step over anything to get into the litter box. The top tray has drainage holes for the urine to fall through to a pee pad. Crystal litter and pellet litter work great with this box.

    Genius I have 2 CH kitties, both pee pad trained but sometimes they lie too close to the edge. This will be perfect to stop any pee from escaping. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

    Thank you so much for this! My 16 year-old's been struggling to get into the box and sometimes fails to be able to get inside in time. I've made a low, wide, step by placing an old cardboard scratching pad in front of it, but this looks like a perfect solution!

    I can’t thank you enough for this video. This is exactly what I was looking for, well even better actually, for my sweet 20 yo 🐱 who has arthritis and major joint/nerve issues. I looked & looked but couldn’t find anything quite like this for sale anywhere. I was practically in tears of relief when I watched your video because I was so desperate to find something to help our poor girl. We made this over the weekend and I’m hoping Willow will make the transition to her new box smoothly. Still need to get the right kind of litter but I think she’s going to love ❤️ it. Thank you again and God bless you!! ❤

    Thank you so much for making this. My cat of 14 years lost the use of his legs to a spinal tumor. I'm trying to help him keep some independence with the litterbox and this is so important

    Great video. I just adopted a senior kitty from a shelter and I've been watching her to see if she can/is using the existing litter boxes. She urinated on the floor instead - could be nerves but I think the entrances are just too high for her, she is a bit creaky in the back end. I've set up a restaurant bun pan that is only one inch from the floor until I can figure out something with sides - you answered my question. I think it is terrible how companies charge so much for a low entrance litter box.

    Awesome ❤ great project! I had a cat that suffered from ataxia (vestibular disease) and walked around like she was drunk. The first day after the attack, she was dragging her legs behind her. The vet said her symptoms could improve but it was impossible to know by how much. During this time, I used a disposable low litterbox that I attached two cardboard tubes on either side to stabilize the box kind of like a pontoon boat, since she kept flipping it over. She ended up gaining back most of her mobility. ❤

    Thank you! I've been looking everywhere for good handicap-accessible litterboxes for my beloved and very blind bunny rabbit. This seems perfect! (Btw, use non-clumping litter for handicapped kitties. It's so much easier to clean and it doesn't get stuck in places they can't get to themselves.)

    Just found you by sheer dumb luck yep 👍 Out of the clear blue you showed up on my feed thanks to the vid about finding Charlie near death in the Hwy ( people that do crap like that to pets enrage me- it’s extremely common in mississippi a place I hate w a passion - anyhoo I digress ) You are a ray of sunshine and are just too blasted cute . I love your personality and how you talk - don’t worry about the idiot jerk wads that have nothing to say but negative nasty verbal vomiting 🤮. Anyways keep on going when you can and take care of you - you have a lot in your plate darlin’ . sends love and hugs from Anchorage Alaska ✨💫🤗🤗🥰🥰💙💜💫✨

    I just discovered your video tonight. I have a small Netherland Dwarf Sliver Martin bunny that is going to get a new wheelchair soon. I've been worried about what to do for a litter box. I think this could work. Thank you for making this video. Sincerely, Gwyneth Rachel Cooper and my bunny Kitty Num-Num Cooper.

    You would need to get one of those mats designed to catch and trap litter right in front of it.

    Per cat behaviorist: Rule of thumb is that the box should be one and a half times the length of your cat, from nose to butt.

    That was my thought. Litter would slide right out of there when cats drag themselves out of there.

    I’ve used a box cutter before, it just takes a little more patients. You can even heat it with a lighter to melt the holes.
