PuraMax Fence

Need to offer a shorter fence

One of my female cats has an issue with not fully entering the drum before "letting go". It probably doesn't help that she's 16+ pounds and finds it hard to turn around inside. So she ends up peeing outside, all over the floor and under the drum. Needless to say, it's a mess to clean up. So I thought I'd try the fence to see if it would assist her in keeping it all inside. All 5 of my cats had used the PuraMax prior to installing the fence and after installing the fence, none of them used it for a week. I had left one of their old boxes available and they all avoided the PuraMax for a week, until I removed the fence. I think the issue is the fence is too tall and greatly restricts the size of the opening, making it harder to climb over. So they quit using it. I seriously considered returning the PuraMax due to the amount of extra work her "mistakes" were causing, but I've worked around the problem for now by placing the PuraMax in a part of the house the large female doesn't visit. So now it's only used consistently by one of the cats (a 10 pound female). The other cats which had been willing to use the PuraMax before, now just simply stare at it when it "cycles". While I certainly looked forward to the ostensible time savings of an automated litter box, I'm not yet convinced they save any substantial labor, and if they do, you pay for it in extra consumables (bags, sprays, batteries). I can vouch for the fact the side of the house which has the PuraMax smells better than the side with the standard "open" litter boxes. So there's that.

Works great

Fits perfectly

After using for many months an Etsy-made makeshift fence, I decided to try this official fence by Petkit. Let me tell you, it's worth the money. It is well built, clamps properly to the ledge, very sturdy. One of my cats is a little bigger boy and kept peeing on the edge which at times would make it through the gap. The fence makes him step a bit more inside which solves the issue.
