The marketing claims about liner durability, leak prevention, and easy cleaning are all well-supported by owner reviews, which consistently praise these core features. However, the pitch stretches with unverified claims about a 3-position lid, suitability for side pee-ers, and award recognition—none of which appear in the available review data. The premium price ($100+) is acknowledged by buyers as justified by quality, though some initial hesitation exists.

What owners single out
In their words
“This is the best litter box. I still have the one I ordered 8 or 9 years ago. I just ordered another box (July 2025). Both boxes are shown together. The liners are durable and I change them every 10-12 weeks; I use Arm & Hammer Super Scoop clumping litter. In this order, I got the works: Litter box, extra large mat, 2 katch litter mats, and liners. We have our mud room set up as the cat room.”

“I debated purchasing the Modcat litter box for WEEKS and wasn't sure I could be convinced that $100 for a non-auto cleaning litter box was justifiable. After reading so many great reviews and looking at other products, I finally went for it and have been pleased with it so far (a couple of weeks). I purchased the bundle with the litter box, mat, and extra liners.”
