IRIS USA Large Open Top Cat Litter Box with High Sides, Scatter Shield & Scoop, Black - Easy Clean Plastic Litter Pan for Indoor Cats, Kittens or Multicat Homes

Q: Is this good for high pee-ers? If not, can you recommend another?

It will leak through the seam. I had an elderly cat with kidney issues and arthritis in her hips -- she used to bend down and raise her butt to pee spraying all over the wall and down the sides. I found http://www.amazon.com/Natures-Miracle-High-Sided-Litter-P-82035/dp/B0087Y5NKS/ref=sr_1_11?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1454777270&sr=1-11 to be the most effective. 11/16" shorter, but the low front made it easier for her to get in and out. I think a weewee pad under will prove to be a good thing.

Q: Does pee leak between the shield and the box? It looks like it could run down and out onto the floor. Thanks.

Whether it leaks depends on how your cats urinate. I have several of this type of litter box, because they fit into the Ikea "Besta" cabinets I have turned into litter box furniture. Of my five cats, one of the boys has a tendency to urinate at fairly high velocity and it just about shoots vertically. He also frequently doesn't crouch/hunker down, so many times he hits the seam directly and urine leaks through. I have "pee pads" under the litter pan to collect these accidents so it doesn't wreck the furniture or floor, but I do wish this would be addressed by the manufacturer. If they built in some kind of overhanging lip so urine would drip down without getting into the seam, that would improve my life, and that of all other people with cats like mine, tremendously.

Q: The product description says 12" high but there's a pic showing it's 14" high. I have a space exactly 12" high so I need to be sure the box will fit.

Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't provide an easy way for buyers to provide info to correct conflicting page information. As someone noted on the similar question on this page, the Product Description says "Deep design pan 15" W x 18 7/8" L x 11 11/16" H ". That means it's just under 12" tall, assuming this information is correct, and other buyers have also confirmed the height.

Q: Does this help get the litter off the paws to prevent litter from getting outside the box when the cat is done? My husband is going crazy from this.

It doesn’t remove litter from the paws, but it does help keep more litter inside the box. I use a wood pellet type litter and it has drastically reduced the amount of pellets getting outside the box. Also, if the hood is detaching from the box, then it isn’t actually fully attached. I had a hard time snapping it all the way into place, but once it does, it doesn’t come off like that other reviewer said happened. I had the same issue with it not staying on until I fully snapped it into place.
