Frequently Asked Questions
Is your cat a ModKat?
If your cat loves jumping up on the windowsill or the arm of the couch, climbing into the sock drawer or that empty cardboard box, then your cat is a ModKat! The ModKat Litter Box is 15 inches tall, lower than the typical couch cushion and offers a private and secure environment your cat or kitten will enjoy. The ModKat Litter Box has been tested with multiple breeds, various ages and unique personalities and all adapted without a hitch. Cats are naturally curious creatures and enjoy being atop and inside everything, ModKat was designed to appeal to these qualities.
How does ModKat work?
Your cat simply hops on top of the litter box and steps down through rooftop entry hole, when they are finished with their business they exit through the same opening. When they exit, gravity and the built in tracking mat remove the litter from their paws and keep it down inside the box, greatly reducing litter tracking. Download Instructions (PDF)
Will elderly, disabled or obese cats use ModKat?
ModKat was designed as the best solution for the average cat. If your cat has trouble jumping or climbing, ModKat may not be the right choice for you.
If your cat currently uses a standard covered litter box and think ModKat may be too small, see our comparison chart.

Will kittens use ModKat?
Kittens will start to use a litter box at around eight weeks of age. Remove the top and place your kitten inside, gently motion its paws through the litter. Kittens are usually fully litter box-trained within a week or so.
Will my cat know what to do?
The curious nature of cats will make it easy for them to figure out, follow these steps for the best results:
- Place the ModKat Litter Box where your old litter box was. Make sure the logo button is facing out and entry hole is towards the wall.

Will my dog be able to get into ModKat?
The ModKat Litter Box is designed with a latched lid that makes it virtually impossible for dogs to enter. The only access is through the cat sized entry hole on top.
Should each of our cats have their own ModKat?
Cats like to have their own space, just like we do. It is best to have one litter box per cat, it will help to prevent territorial battles over the litter box and will make it easier for your cat to use the box whenever it feels the need. However, if your cats don't mind sharing a box, we would just recommend scooping more often.
How big is ModKat?
The ModKat Litter Box is 15" tall, 16" deep, 16" wide and has the standard size opening for the cats to enter. The design was engineered to consume the least amount of space possible, while offering a comfortable environment for just about every cat. This size was tested for cat comfort and to ensure that your cat can easily turn completely around inside the box and do their digging. With the entrance on top, the lid is also the litter matt, decreasing the footprint of your litter box. See our comparison chart.
Does ModKat require special litter?
No, the ModKat Litter Box does not require special litter. However, We highly recommend a clumping litter that is organic or all natural. Behaviorists, veterinarians, and many cat owners can attest that clumping beats clay any day. It is better for the environment and it works best with the ModKat Reusable Litter Liners. If you choose to change types of litter, gradually introduce it over a three to four week period, mixing increasing quantities of the new type with the previous type.
How much litter should I use?
Two to three inches of litter is sufficient in most litter boxes. You should read the litter manufacturer's recommendations on the package as they may vary.
How should I dispose of used litter?
Used litter should always be disposed of with regular household trash. Litter or clumps should NEVER be flushed or poured down a drain! The Modkat Litter Liner is designed to assist in effortless litter removal and disposal and works best with clumping litter.
Does ModKat require special liners or bags?
No, the ModKat Litter Box comes with its own reusable litter liner so you will never have to buy disposable plastic liners again. The ModKat Litter Liner is made of rip-resistant tarp material to prevent odor absorption and is waterproof to allow for simple clean-up. The liner has nylon handles for easy removal and pouring. We highly recommend using clumping litter as it works best with the ModKat Reusable Litter Liners. The ModKat Litter Box can also be used without a liner if desired.
How often do I need to clean the litter box?
Odor is nature’s way of telling you that it’s time to scoop or replace the litter. The lid effortlessly swivels open for quick scooping and fully removes by lifting straight up for more challenging clean-ups. Scoop waste daily to keep odor in check and to maintain your cat's good health. Fully replace litter every 5 to 7 days and wash the ModKat Litter Liner and the ModKat Litter Box with soapy water and rinse well as needed.
Does ModKat come with a scoop?
Yes, the ModKat Litter Scoop! The scoop has been designed to work perfectly with the ModKat Litter Box. It has an ergonomic handle, angled to reach the depths of the ModKat Litter Box with minimal effort and curved to sit comfortably in your hand. The rounded front edge matches the radius of the box's rounded corners facilitating thorough scooping. A brush has been incorporated into the side of the scoop to return any stray litter or dust back inside and the scoop slides onto the side of the box for easy storage and access.
Where should I place my ModKat Litter Box?
If you have a brand new cat place your ModKat Litter Box in a quiet location away from distractions and unexpected noises like those made by household appliances. If your cat has a litter box already place the Modkat in the same place so the cat is comfortable and familiar with the location. The Modkat Litter Box is designed to offer a quiet, secure environment that both cats and kittens will enjoy.
