Pet Blogger Review of The "Loo" All in One Modern Litter Box by Meowy Studio

THEIR STORY:

Meowy Studio began when founder Jimmy, had an idea to make sustainable cat products that would complement a harmonious living space. He wanted to create cat products that were practical but with modern design in mind.  Jimmy founded Meowy Studio, your go-to place for cat products tailored for modern living. Made from 100% recyclable ABS plastic, the design incorporates a handy litter catcher, so you no longer have to worry about the mess your furbaby leaves behind. The closed-structure box is sleek and stylish but also combats nasty smells by blocking the odor in the tray. The tray is easy to clean with a simple rinse-and-wipe solution, which will keep you feeling zen every day. They care about their customers and want to offer as much support as they can after making a purchase. In their package, you will receive info so that you can  contact Jimmy personally to discuss ways they can improve their products for the future.

I was excited when I was offered the opportunity to review the Loo All in One Modern Litter Box.   Roary has been using Cody's  old litter cabinet/box and I felt that he deserved to have one of his own, so I was eager to give the Loo a try. 

I was impressed with what I saw and read on their website and loved the minimalist design.  The day the box arrived, of course Roary was "on" it!

The kind people at Meowy Studio KNOW that cats will be drawn to the box, so much so that they have THIS on the outside of the box:

THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO ASSEMBLY!!

COULDN'T BE EASIER! The Loo comes with a filter plate, litter catcher, litter base, cover, scoop, scoop holder, an optional curtain for the door and a scoop holder hook

PROS:

NO ASSEMBLY REQUIRED, NO TOOLS NECESSARY! TAKES SECONDS TO "ASSEMBLE"

SUPER EASY TO CLEAN: just rinse with water and wipe dry!! Easy Peasy!

SIMPLE, SLEEK, BEAUTIFUL DESIGN

Made from 100% recyclable plastics and manufactured without the use of harmful chemicals. The materials are high quality/ABS plastic that is SCRATCH resistant and durable.

CLOSED STRUCTURE: It EFFECTIVELY blocks odor

ROARY LOVES IT and USED IT DAILY!

COMES IN AN ASSORTMENT OF ATTRACTIVE COLORS-Carbon Grey, Blush Pink and the Aspen White (which I have)

The grate DOES help keep litter from tracking on the floor

CATS LOVE TO PLAY WITH THE BOX THAT IT COMES IN!

• CONS

• The entry door is much smaller than my other litter cabinet. Only small to medium sized cats would fit easily through the door. Roary is on the small side (he is smaller than both my Angels Bobo and Cody were), so he has no problem at all. 

For me, lifting the entire top of the box in my small bathroom to clean it is rather annoying. I wish it had some sort of an opening where I didn't have to lift the entire top off and lay it on the floor like I have to now. For some, that may not be annoying, but my other litter cabinet has a door that you open in the front and you can slide the pan right out to scoop.

Mine came with an optional little curtain flap (not pictured), that was annoying and fell off the first time Roary went through the opening with it on. I have chosen to leave it off.

• The litter pan is smaller than I would like. Roary actually PEED on the side where the grate is, into the side that had NO LITTER. I ended up putting litter on BOTH SIDES.

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE:

A Loo that is designed for larger cats.

A design where you do not have to lift the top off to scoop

I would like to see the grate removed and make the entire lower tray non-divided, so that the litter tray would be larger. (A smaller tray means I have to add litter more often. Maybe a grate could be an optional feature to add on should the owner want to do so?)

Would love to see a model where it could be used in more than one way, an example would be to add snap on plastic shelves or something so if you use it in a bathroom you could store towels, etc., on it.

HERE'S MY "SCOOP":

I DO like the Loo, (even with the "cons" I mentioned above). More importantly, Roary likes it!

I love how the actual litter pan is easier to clean than a normal litter pan. I love it's smaller "footprint" visually. I love that Roary tried it out on his own with no encouraging necessary.  What is funny is that Roary is actually using both the Loo and his old litter cabinet. When one is soiled, he uses the other. (Roary has always been rather fastidious about his litter, I scoop twice a day, so I DO intend to keep both the Loo and Roary's old litter cabinet, since I am the only one who uses the bathroom with him). This way I am certain he will pretty much ALWAYS have one litter box that is clean.

  IF YOU WANT A STYLISH, EASY TO CLEAN, SMALLER  ENCLOSED LITTER BOX THAT WILL BLEND UNOBTRUSIVELY WITH YOUR DECOR, THIS IS DEFINITELY THE BOX FOR YOU!!!

Thank you so much Mr.Jimmy !!! I LOVE my new Loo !!! I make "DEPOSITS" in it daily!!!!

Love, Roary (and Mom too!)

Hi every furry! If you have been traveling around the Blog-o-sphere you have probably been seeing a vast assortment  of fine kitties talking about the newest member of the World's Best Cat Litter family: Advanced Natural.

Being one of the original "Catvocates" for World's Best, it makes me happy to see other kitties jumping on board!

Long before I became a "Catvocate" for World's Best, I was using their litter. I have tried nearly every variety that they offer, and love them all. I recently tried new Advanced Natural and I am pleased to say it lived up to my expectations.

The new ADVANCED NATURAL SERIES by World's Best has:

More powerful odor control.

It makes smaller clumps (no scraping the bottom of the litterbox needed!.)

The Advanced Natural Series joins the Original Series in drawing on a patented process that allows World's Best Cat Litter™ ingredients to be compressed into tight granules that deliver concentrated power.

World's Best Cat Litter™ will now consist of an Original Series made up of Clumping, Multiple Cat Clumping, Lavender Scented Multiple Cat Clumping and Forest Scented Clumping formulas and the new Advanced Natural Series, which is made up of the Original and Pine Blend formulas.

Clairvoyant cat: "Mr. Nuts" Picks San Francisco to Lose Super Bowl XLVII:Guest Blog by Five Pet Place

BREAKING NEWS!!

"The first Super Bowl pick was supposed to determine a winner -- but while scooping his box I got to thinking 'you know there's a pretty obvious message here' and wound up going in the opposite direction," said Ostrofsky.

MISSION SAN JOSE, CA  31 January 2013  Five Pet Place, a producer of designer cat furniture, today announces Mr. Nuts, a cat with a track record of accurately predicting the outcome of future events, has projected the San Francisco 49ers to lose Super Bowl XLVII.  He made his choice by selecting between two identically prepared litter boxes.

"Mr Nuts"

A Furry Jimmy the Greek

A large black and white tuxedo cat, Mr. Nuts made his first Super Bowl prediction two years ago by correctly picking the Pittsburgh Steelers to lose to the Green Bay Packers by choosing a cat box designated to represent that particular team.  He followed it up last year by correctly picking the favored New England Patriots to lose to the New York Giants and Mitt Romney's loss to Barack Obama in the presidential election.  A prediction for the gender of Prince William and Kate's baby is pending.

You Can't Handle the Truth

"The thing about Mr. Nuts is he doesn't let anything influence him," said Five Pet Place founder Michael Ostrofsky. "He picked the Steelers to lose while living in a house full of Steelers fans.  He picked the Patriots to lose even though the odds makers favored them to win.  He waited to pick Romney until there was a cocktail party with numerous Republicans over.  Now he's going against the grain by not only picking the favored 49ers to lose -- he's doing it despite living in the middle of the San Francisco Bay Area.  Want a pat on the back?  Call a friend.  Want the truth?  Ask Mr. Nuts because he'll tell it like it is whether you can handle it or not."

Why He Picks Losers Instead of Winners

Football and election experts usually focus on choosing winners.  Not when it comes to Mr. Nuts.  "The first Super Bowl pick was supposed to determine a winner -- but while scooping his box I got to thinking 'you know there's a pretty obvious message here' and wound up going in the opposite direction," said Ostrofsky.  "Now he has a Wikipedia page and gets requests for interviews from here to Canada.  People were even using Mr. Nuts hashtags on Twitter during the election."

"Mr Nuts" Picks

Details About the Selection Process

"When making picks, we try to get into the spirit of what he's trying to determine," said Ostrofsky.  "For the election, we had Romney on the right and Obama on the left for obvious reasons.  For this pick, we flipped a coin and had someone in Baltimore call the toss because the Ravens are the Super Bowl's visiting team.  She got that right -- then elected to choose the "east" box as it's closer to Baltimore.

As for the llitter boxes themselves, the Ravens' was finished in solid Pure White as that's the color of their road uniforms.  The 49ers'?  It featured our Regal Tan accent paint as it's similar to their team colors.  In a way, Roger Goodell would be impressed."

How Mr. Nuts Got Ready for "Game Day"

Just like any athlete, Mr. Nuts ate a special high protein diet and trained hard before game day.  "Since Baltimore is known for crab cakes and San Francisco for fresh crab at Fisherman's Wharf, we went and got some for his cat feeder.  Of course, he had to wash it down by drinking water out of the kitchen faucet," said Ostrofsky.  "Then we put some catnip on one of his cat scratchers to get him to work out a bit.  He got so fired up he actually fell off it.  He even attacked these miniature toy footballs with Ravens and 49ers logos we bought for him.  All I can say is when that cat was ready to go -- he was ready to go."

A Real Crapshoot

"I for one am glad not to be making that pick," said Ostrofsky.  "These teams are so evenly matched choosing a winner's a real crapshoot -- pun intended.  But when it comes to crapshoots Mr. Nuts is the best in the business.

I"ll be honest, though, I really wished he picked the Ravens.  My neighbors, the guys at the golf course, everybody at the gym -- they're all 49ers fans.  If he's wrong, I'm never going to hear the end of this."

"Odor-No-More" Cat Litter Additive-Give-Away & A Guest Blogging Opportunity!

I was contacted a few weeks ago by a representative of ONM ("Odor-No-More") asking me to review their cat litter additive, a product to eliminate litter box odors.

I had many reservations. My main hesitancy in reviewing this product was I had just switched to a high quality cat litter, (World's Best Cat Litter), that I LOVE. My motto is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Since I switched to World's Best Cat Litter I do not have the litter box odor that I had with the litter I had previously been using.

Another concern was that by adding this product I may mess up the ability to flush World's Best Cat Litter by adding a product that I thought could possibly tamper with it's formula and render it ineffective.

Also, Cody's allergies have virtually disappeared since we switched to World's Best Cat Litter and I am fearful if I add something new to the equation they just might return.

I was forthcoming with my concerns and told the gentleman at Odor-No-More that what I would do is tell you about this product and let YOU, my knowledgeable and experienced readers decide for yourselves.

Odor-No-More is a "deodorizing super absorbent cat litter additive". On the brochure I received it states it:

1. Eliminates odor and moisture
2. Reduces litter consumption
3. Reduces labor
4. Reduces disposal
5. It is eco-friendly, non-toxic
6. Comes with a 30 day money back guarantee

To reiterate,  I  have not tried this product. This is where YOU come in. I am giving away both of the unused containers that I received to TWO WINNERS (one container per winner).

And, I am offering each winner the opportunity of testing/reviewing this product on Cat Chat as a guest blogger.

I need your HONEST opinion. If you love the product tell me, if you don't, I want to know that too!

If you are interested in this give-away/guest blogger opportunity please leave me a comment. If I am able to ship this product out of the country (anyone know if I can?) I am happy to open this give-away to EVERYONE.

Please leave me a comment stating your interest by MIDNIGHT (EST), MONDAY, MAY 30th. Winners will be announced on WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1st.

In full disclosure,  from time to time I will feature products that Cody and I may not have tried ourselves but we feel they may be of interest to our readers. When that is the case, I will always let you know, as I am today. It is up to you, my valued readers, to form your own conclusions. I received  no compensation for this post.
