Overview:
This Universal Cat Privacy Tent, the LMT200, by LitterMaid hides the litter box, making it less of an eyesore and provides the cat with some needed privacy. In addition, the Kitty Kabana is great for keeping the litter confined to the litter box and the litter box area. Having a carpet underneath the litter box and a Paw Cleaning Ramp can add to the cleanliness and neatness of the areas as well. The Kitty Kabana Cat Privacy Tent is designed to fit all LitterMaid litter boxes and most standard litter boxes as well.
The litter box sits inside the tent, and most of the mess and odor remains there too. Since the tent is made from a translucent material, the litter box remains bright, making it less frightening for cats. The tent is fairly easy to assemble and measures 9.1 x 3 x 21.6 inches. The item weighs 2.2 pounds.
Review:
The idea behind the LitterMaid Kitty Kabana Cat Privacy Tent is a great one, the execution of it is a whole different story. Some cats enjoy their privacy, so having an exposed litter box, as great as the automatic litter boxes are these days, is not ideal. The Kitty Kabana provides the cat with the needed privacy, although putting the tent together can prove to be a rather difficult task. It is made from a translucent material which provides a great deal of light for the cat. However, this material is not the strongest of materials and can rip when handled poorly. The tent is also intended for keeping the litter in the litter box area and for keeping odors from escaping. The litter can and does escape and so having an additional contraption such as a carpet or a ramp can help. The tent does eliminate most odors, though this can also be achieved with other items such as Powerful Odor-Absorbing Carbon Filters.
