By the way, that one cat is naked. What keeps it from freezing?

I hope they don't know how funny they look. That would somehow be beneath the dignity of a cat.

Without hair, they have nothing to absorb their body oils and they can get a little funky.

You want a litterbox cat feels secure in and can keep a lookout and easily escape in case of enemy attack - its an instinctive thing! Sometimes people blame catss for messing outside their box when its their fault for giving them something they cantor dont want to use

A $500 fail - imho!

And they seem perfectly happy with them. The $8 trays are from Chewy and are the largest ones they sell. Even though the two girl kitties are not large, they love to throw litter everywhere so over sized trays help with that problem.

The male cat is long and lanky and has trouble fitting in even the big trays. We had a slightly damaged storage tote, so cut a hole in one end, put the top on, and he has a big covered litter box out on the catio that stays dry and is easy to clean.

I've never seen it, simply because I've not yet visited him in NY. (CoVid.)

But it didn't cost us $500, about $300. It has paid for itself in the reduction of litter it uses. We only buy litter once a month, sometimes two months.

We have a cat that actually likes to take a ride in it every so often.

Edit to add: We also have 5 cats, so it helps a lot! No stinky cat smells!

We’ve had it for several years. Bunny the cat is perfectly happy with it, the dogs don’t get into it, it never smells like cat box here, we save a ton on litter and I’d recommend one.
