litter box

I'm searching for a litter box that only my cats can get it. I have dogs also, and they like to get in and eat the poop. Anyone have any litterbox suggestions for litterboxes that only cats can use and keeps dogs out? I found "thecatseat" http://petco.com/Shop/Product.aspx?R...cat+litter+box Anyone have any experience with this?

I havent tried the cat seat, and probably wouldnt...it just doesnt seem practical to me I suppose.

BUT...I would go with this type of litter box if your dogs are getting into your current one.

I use covered litter boxes and put them in locations where they face a wall, with room for the cats to get in and out, but not the dog.

Okay thank you for your advice. I have seen some of those litter boxes.. problem is.. my cat weighs more than my dogs.. so they could still probably get in there lol.

What about a top entry litter box? I am too cheap to buy an actual one, so I bought 3 18 gal. Rubbermaid tubs(not clear, of course) & plan on cutting a hole in the top of each. If your cat is bigger than your dog, the dog might still get in there. Maybe you could put the litter boxes in a small room or a room that isn't used much & put a baby gate in the dorrway? Then the cat could get over the gate & the dog couldn't.

When Kandie leaves us this is what I will do

If your cats are bigger than your dogs, what kind of dogs? Are they jumpers? I concur, the big Rubbermaid containers are the way to go. We have one in the bedroom being used for that purpose, but our pup's a Pekingese and doesn't jump. Something like a Jack Russel on the other hand, even the short-legged variety, wouldn't be deterred by that. We don't put the top on as the boys are so big I feel they would be cramped even as big as the box is. They don't have any problems with it, and even seem to prefer it although we also have two smaller ("small" is relative ) boxes in the master 1/2 bath with a 1x12 shelf laid on edge across the door to keep the dog out. It's easily stepped over, the door can still be shut, but Kellie access is denied .

Sorry I can't help, I use a baby gate, but Rain manages to sneak in occasionally for some Tootsie Rolls if I forget to put it up....

Try a huge Rubbermaid-type storage container, the kind that is about 3 feet tall. This should be too tall for a toy breed dog to access but it's easy for most cats. As a bonus, cats prefer extra large litterboxes.
