I have a new page on the wvcats.com website: Giant Litter Box at http://www.wvcats.com/giantlitterbox.html.

Thanks to Milo (one of Michelle's large cats) for being the "model" of a large cat!    I love that pic for this purpose, as the box Milo is sitting on says, "LG", as in "size large".    Michelle, approximately how much does Milo weight?  If you get a chance, measure how tall he is from the floor to the top of head.  I want to include some info about his size under his pic.

I got one of those Petmate giant litter boxes for my very large Rey (Norwegian Forest Cat/Maine Coon type cat.)  He just wasn't fitting so great in what is sold as "jumbo" sized litter boxes.  He is a long, very big cat!

If anyone notices any errors on the page on my site, please let me know.

Milo weighs 16 lbs as of this morning - he's lost a pound or two in the last year.    He is 16 inches high (floor to top of head), 19 inches long butt to nose *tail not included*. 

In that picture he would have been 17 to 18 lbs.

Here is another shot that might put his size into perspective:
This is a 30 can case.

Thanks, Michelle.

The pic you posted with Milo on the case of beer does show his size in perspective, but, I prefer not show alcohol, not even beer.

Ok, I completely understand.  I kinda thought that but figured I'd throw it out there anyway.  I'll see if I can catch another pic of him that will show his size better in the next couple days or so if I can.

Some months back I bought a large litter tray (covered) in Jollyes.  It has the advantage that the swing door lifts up & back so you don't have to dismantle it every time you scoop. Disadvantage would be a small cat as it's higher than the standards. Having said that Mindy who has always been a small kitten (but catching up fast now growth wise) insisted on clambering in and out of it - if the bigger cats could do it, she would too :). It's Jollyes own make so maybe worth looking at Jollyes?  All supposing you have Jollye's stores in the US?

Timambmin, I do not believe there are Jollyes stores in the US.  The litter tray you mentioned is likely a good one, but the one I was talking about is gigantic- 3 feet long (approximately .91 meters).  And not covered.  Giant, tall cats such as large Maine Coons don't usually like to duck down to get into a covered litter box.
