Top Entry Enclosed Great for my Amputee Cat
Helen,
I have an amputee cat who is missing a hindlimb. I also have a dog who likes to raid the litter box for snacks. I initially thought I would need the low level entry box due to my cat's disability but the door alone would have been unlikely to have kept my dog's nose out. I thought I would take a punt on the enclosed top entry box and it has been the perfect design for our set up. My cat is easily able to jump into the box as the height is OK for him and he took to it like a duck to water. There is no way the dog can raid the box. I was most impressed with the platform that helps reduce the spread of litter and this really does work. It is good quality and worth the money. I was looking for reviews for amputee cats and couldn't find one so thought this may be of help.

Solid construction, easy to clean and customisable!
Beth,
We share our home with 5 cats and so we have litter boxes dotted around the house in order to accommodate their needs. Given that litter boxes are essentially on display I wanted something that could blend into the background and help to keep the space looking tidy and clean. So I was pleased to find the Maya top entry litter box. Putting it together was simple, with clear and easy to follow instructions. I found that the litter liner slotted in well and felt really secure. For us one of the big bonuses was that because it's a simple white cube we've been able to decorate the exterior to cat-ify it. I'm sure it could be painted with the correct prep, but we used a self adhesive vinyl wallpaper so that it should be cleanable :-) Our cats are already used to jump-in litter boxes, so convincing them to use it wasn't a problem, however, they have been reluctant to use it with the lid on. We've only had the tray for a week though, so I will be trying again to see if I can convince them it's a good addition. The only slight negative is that I think dimensionally it could be a little bigger. My cats vary in size from a small and petite 3.5kg up to a big and chunky 6.5kg. For my biggest cat, while he can use the tray fine, I think he would benefit from having a little more space around him - and potentially he will never be comfortable going in through the lid. I appreciate that there would be a trade off between whether it can fit neatly into the corner of a living space or not, but I do think a larger breed of cat, such as a Maine Coon, might feel even more constrained in the box. Perhaps a new addition could be added to the range for large breed cats? However, even with the size, I would recommend this tray to other cat owners - and I suspect I will be adding another of these to our litter set up in the future, as they are definitely an improvement over the majority of litter trays we've had in the past!

Absolutely worth every penny!
Sophie,
I bought this for my kitten (Maine Coon X, aged 5 months). She wasn't keen on using a litter tray that was placed up on the side, but I have 2 dogs who love to eat kitty litter (yuk!) They haven't even attempted to get into this tray, and Ophelia is using it consistently after a couple of days of suspicion. I left the top off at first but she uses it brilliantly with the top on. Definitely keeps small dogs away from kitty litter. The design is ingenious - I couldn't see how the liner was going to fit until we put it in. The instructions said it would take 2 people 40 minutes to assemble, but my husband did it in 19 minutes, 34 seconds (he took the 40 minutes as a challenge so I timed him lol). Would 100% recommend it!

Brilliant product!
Jenia, Kent,
We absolutely love this product. When putting it together - it was clear that the quality is superb. The cat was not sure for the first day, but expected. Now she is using it no problem. The area around is much cleaner, as the little litter stones are not thrown around anymore after the kitty has done her business. And of course the design is very sleek and doesn't look like a litter box at all.

Not quite life changing, but almost!
Fiona,
I've had the Maya cat litter box for about a month now - I wanted to give it some proper use before leaving a review. I'm absolutely delighted with it. Up to now, I had two standard covered trays in the spare bathroom upstairs and the entire room was covered in a dusting of cat litter. It got tracked out on to the landing and down the stairs. Plus the room always smelled faintly of cat poo, no matter how well I cleaned it. It all felt very unhygienic and I was reluctant to use the bathroom for anything else. However I wanted to reclaim my bathroom for drying laundry so I moved the litter tray down to a corner of the kitchen and set about finding a better solution than the standard trays. I spend ages researching various options and eventually decided on the Maya. Since I've been using it, litter tracking has been virtually eliminated. Poo smells are only very faint for a few minutes after the event. Cleaning it is a breeze - it took me a while to get the hang of pulling the liner out without disturbing the platform but now it's a cinch. The cats adapted to it very easily. I placed their old tray inside for a few days and left the door open so they'd get used to peeing in a cupboard. Transitioning over to the closed door and litter liner happened without issues. It looks great in the corner of the kitchen, no one would guess what it's for. I've asked visitors if they noticed any odd smells and was told no. The whole setup feels very hygienic and tidy. Overall I'm very happy and I think it's well worth the money.

Best cat loo ever!
Debbie, North Ayrshire,
Wish I’d bought this sooner! This is our third cat litter box since getting our kitten a year ago (the first 2 were different brands) We needed an enclosed top entry tray because our dog would not leave the previous enclosed cat litter tray alone; even though it was cleaned twice a day he managed to steal cat stools 🤢 This one is absolutely purrfect - looks great, has excellent functionality, and best of all, keeps the dog OUT!!! Thank you Omlet!

Great for a small house
An Omleteer,
We live in a small house with two cats. Due to rehoming they are indoors for 4-6 weeks, so we knew we'd need a decent litter situation to keep smells contained when we're all in close quarters! The Maya tray is great; it was easy to assemble with clear instructions, and the cats are very happy using it. As they hadn't been using an enclosed tray in the RSPCA cattery, we started by having the whole liner outside the box for a couple of days, than half in, then fully in with the door open, and then closed (the process took a week). They adjusted without any issues and seem perfectly happy using it. We're happy because it isn't smelly - thanks to the charcoal filter the smell doesn't gather at the top of the box, so no issues for them or us when we open it to clean it. We check it 2-3 times a day as multiple cats are using it, and the tray is easy to slide in and out once you've got the knack although it would be tricky if you have limited arm mobility or sore joints (you have to squeeze both sides together and lift the back a bit). It looks perfectly good in the room, and has a plant on top to further disguise it!

Great, but could be better
Nicola,
We bought 2 of the Maya front entrance boxes with extra storage, and they look great in our lounge. An extra bonus is room for a cat bed on the top (maybe Omlet could make one specifically to fit - we had trouble sourcing one the right size). We had a couple of 'accidents' when we first put them in place due to the cats managing to wee down the tiny gap between the liner and the front door but otherwise they've been a great success. There are a couple of things that could be improved though... I'm mystified why the wire support around the top of a litter tray liner that is designed to go into a rectangular box is round. It sticks out at the front and stops the door from closing properly. I ended up bending the wire to make corners, so it fits in neatly, but was worried that it would snap in my hands. It's very difficult to hook the back of the liner over the little 'ledge' screwed to the back of the box. The only way to do this is to get on your hands and knees and either bend your arm at a most peculiar angle or stick your head virtually inside the box. If the liner isn't hooked over the ledge it sags at the back and the liner starts to crumple inwards. It would make far more sense to have a wire insert in the back of the liner the same as the one in the front. The bag would then stand upright on its own, and the ledge could be dispensed with. A small re-design for the liner and you would have a 5 star product.

Sleek & super functional
Victoria, Georgia,
I bought this a month ago and it's going great! After spending lots $$ on a cat box furniture piece that my cat couldn't keep her butt in.... this really saved the day. We haven't had any issues. The bag inside is a great feature. It did take ~4 days for her to warm up to it...but give it time.
