HOW IT WORKS
Modko Flip litter box features a front entry and a flip double-hinged magnetic lid that can be fully closed, half-opened, fully opened, or removed. It comes with two recycled paperboard liners with a coating to make them watertight and scratch resistant.
The liners have a full line indicator that indicates how much litter to use with one or two cats. You place the liner and then hold it in place with a stiff plastic removable frame that comes with the unit.
The idea of the paperboard liners is the convenience of just replacing old litter by lifting out the liner and toss it away instead of scraping the litter box. After you remove the liner and you can wipe down the inside. The bottom of the litter box is seamless, which makes it water-tight and easier to clean.
The unit comes with a plastic scoop that you can hang on the side of the litter box.

PROS
- Clean looking design that blends with any décor
- High walls for cats that don’t squat when doing their business
- Seamless litter box with water-tight bottom
- Suitable for small spaces and corners
- 3 positions for the lid: closed, half open, and full open
- The lid can be fully removed
- Easy to scoop and clean with foldable flip lid
- Plastic does not retain urine odor
- Disposable liners make it easier to dispose of dirty litter
- It comes with its own scoop and it can be hung on the side of the litter box
- Cats adopt front entry litter boxes a little easier than top entry types
CONS
- If a cat urinates on walls the tension band gets sprayed
- Liners get soaked (but they can still be removed without ripping)
- The tension band does not stay tightly in place and some litter or urine gets into the bottom
- Cats that are scratchers may rip the liner when it gets humid
- You have to buy liners (but there is an option of not using liners)
- The size is not small but is not very large either
TIPS
- Make sure to fill the litter to the full line of the paperboard liner, this way the liner won’t get soaking wet.
- You can replace the paperboard liners by buying the Modkat tarp liner. It’s durable, reusable, and much more resistant to scratching.
- You can use the Modko Flip litter box without liners as well.
- Modko flip litter box does not prevent litter tracking so get a very good litter mat to place under the unit. One of the best in the market is the Cat Litter Trapper EZ Clean, check it out.
CONCLUSION
Modko Flip litter box is a good option because it features high walls that contain urine with male cats that spray. The point of the paperboard liners is to keep any liquid from touching the bottom of the litter box but it seems like this goal does not get 100% accomplished, because urine gets on the tension band and leaks into the bottom of the unit. Several customers prefer buying the tarp liner that comes with the top entry litter box Modkat, instead of using paperboard liners.
Modko Flip litter box is deeper from back to front than the Modkat so it can be used for large cats as well, depending on the adaptability.
√ Modko Flip litter box is suitable for:
- Cats that spray and don’t like top entry litter boxes
- For a cat that pees high (using the Modkat tarp liner)
- If you want to stop urine mess outside the litter box
- If you want to put the litter box in living areas where it’s going to be seen
x Not recommended
- For elderly cats that can’t step in and out of the opening
- Cats with disabilities
- Using it with liners if your cat is a persistent digger or if it urinates a lot
- Very large cats
