CONSTRUCTION & MATERIALS

Petsfit is made from MDF (Medium-density fibreboard) and pine wood. The unit is painted with a non-toxic paint called nitrolacquer.

The inside of the unit has a double-decker where you can place the litter box at the bottom and the cat food on top or other items. Also, you can use the Petsfit as a cat house.

The panels feature paw shaped vents where your cat can also see through. Petsfit features a latched front door that opens to access the inside.

The assembly goes by tongue and groove with screws that fit smoothly into the pre-drilled holes for a secure and strong construction. The unit can’t be exposed to high temperature and sun exposure.

HOW IT WORKS

You can use the Petsfit as litter box enclosure or cat house. Your cat will access the unit jumping through the opening door located on the top level. To access the bottom your pet goes through a circle-shaped hole in the middle layer. To exit, your pet needs to jump up to the top level and then exit through the cat door.

In the first layer, you can place items such as cat food bowls or water bowls, toys, bedding, etc. At the bottom, you can place the litter box or just place the cat bed.

PROS

• High-quality construction
• Attractive piece of furniture that doesn’t look cheap
• The unit is stable, you can move it around without any problem (unlike other cheaper constructions)
• It’s not really too hard to assemble once you figure it out (another person is needed to make it easier)
• No more access for dogs to the litter box or cat food
• Great hiding place with little windows to see through (vents)
• Interior dimensions allows placing any standard litter box nicely
• Can be used as litter box enclosure or cat house
• Keeps cat litter inside the box, no more litter tracking
• It helps to contain odors
• Panels come all labeled for easier assembly
• The latch is functional and decorative, closing the door smoothly.
• Great way to maximize space in small apartments

CONS

• The instructions are vague, no text, only pictures, and diagrams
• Inside opening may not big enough for a cat over 12 lbs (measure your cat)
• Some cats may refuse to get inside (tip 2)
• Interior is not waterproof (tip 3)
• Some cats may have difficulty jumping into the unit (tip 4)
• The middle layer could be too slippery for an old cat (tip 5)

TIPS TO USE IT

1. It can be difficult to assemble by yourself but with the help of somebody else to hold parts, it’s a breeze.
2. Leave the door opened the first week to let your cat get used to the unit.
3. The bottom is not waterproof. If you have a cat that has litter box accidents, make sure to caulk the bottom and get a high sided litter box, placing a litter mat at the bottom.
4. If your cat doesn’t jump you can place a ramp to facilitate your pet the access.
5. If you think the middle layer is too slippery for your cat, get a piece of bunk carpeting to place on top, making an opening on it to match with the hole.

CONCLUSION

Petsfit Double-Decker litter box enclosure is an excellent piece of furniture that will provide a good solution to hide your cat’s litter box and provide a place for your pet to hide or eat, both at the same time. The unit is attractive and much bigger than how it looks in the pictures, make sure to read the dimensions before ordering. I recommend this unit for cat owners and especially for homes with a dog and cat.
