The open top design is the main draw: cats that refuse enclosed globes, and big cats up to 33 lb, have room to turn around. The 13.86 inch entry height is hard on seniors without a step, and Cats.com flagged early bin full lockouts and user reports of urine leaks at the mat seam.
Best for: large cats that dislike hoods. Skip if: you have dogs or a senior cat.

Questions buyers ask
Is it safe if my cat jumps in mid cycle?
Catster's tester saw it pause each time, and the open globe never fully closes, which Neakasa says prevents pinching.
Can a large cat use it?
Neakasa rates it for cats from 2.2 to 33 lb, the widest range in this list.
