After I bought this item and put it together, I noticed the flaws in the item. Gaps around the bottom edges and holes on the walls where it is pieced together with tabs. So before I let my cats even think about using it! I got bathroom caulk and caulked around the bottom edge of the part that lifts off the base. Then I took clear packaging tape and applied tape to the wall tabs. After completely dried I let my 2 cats Neko and Ruby try it out. Works perfect! No urine or litter leaking out where its not suppose to be. Would give higher rating but since the consumer has to make thease revisions themselves they don't deserve a higher one.

The litter pod is very attractive; that's the good thing. However, the design is flawed. The walls of the pod slide down over the litter pan to a lip about 1 inch from the bottom. The problem is any over-spray of urine on the walls will run down and out between the bottom of the pod wall & the litter pan lip, onto your floor. In addition, this same design issue causes loose clumps of litter to get trapped between the wall & the outer edge of the litter pan; so when you open it to clean the box, clumps of loose litter fall onto the floor as well.

Don't waste your money.
