Does the lid on this box snap into place or just sit on the pan? I have 2 large cats that constantly knock the top off of their current box.

It just sits on top. It looks like you might be able to use something to clip it on.. Unless they're really determined lol. Sorry they're giving you trouble.

yes it does snap on, sometimes my wife has a struggle getting it off. the box is pretty deep it should accommodate 2 cats as long as you empty it on a daily basis.

To clarify asking with the other answer.. When you grab front and back and lift straight up it comes right off. Of I grab the front and only lift that, it feels like it is clipped and I have a hell of a time getting it off.

It just sits on top, but it would be pretty hard to knock off. I have two cats and they haven't been able to knock it off yet.

IIt stays in place very well. I have to pull on it pretty hard to ge it off. The cats have never knocked it off. Hope this helps.

It doesn't snap as securely as the kind that lock, but there is a *click* when you put the top on.

The lid just sits on the base it does lock on the base to a certain degree. (There is a channel on the lid which kind of interlocks on the rim of the base.) I know the dog has tried to lift it, and she has not been able to get it off. When I go to change or clean it out it take two hands to lift it off. Its pretty big I don't think your cats will have a problem...

The lid just sits on top of the pan. I like it because it makes it much easier to scoop out the litter.

It's difficult at first, I guess because it's been boxed up. It took a while, but now the rim fits perfectly and stays put. I have three really large cats and they haven't had any problems with it since we finally got the rim to stay on securely. I think you have to kind of twist it and wiggle it a bit until the front lines up and then it seems to seat fine and stays secure. One of my cats kept trying to get the tree, so I went to Michael's and got a better plant that stays better, too.

No - our cats have not been able to turn the machine over or get the top off. The machine has a broad base, and is stable. The top sits in pretty snugly.

I know this was asked over a month ago but just today I had a 5lb cat stand on the lid just right so as to shatter the glass. I'd do what you can to keep cats off of it.

I have two cats and I think it's pretty sturdy. They actually don't lay on the top but have caught them and it held up. On the lid there are a couple of hooks that go into the cage if you want. So if your cats do sit on it the lid won't fall in.

Yea it is a feeding hole. Depending on the size of the cat and their skill level, a cat could potentially stick their paw in. Yes the lid attaches tightly. The cat should not get it off. It is a great bowl for a beta long term. I would suggest it to all ages. Good luck!

Its a very large box. A small cat might have initially have trouble with the deep pan but I can't imagine any cat except a newborn that couldn't get inside it. We were going to use it for two large cats and it would have been plenty of room for both. It wasn't what was described so I returned it and ended up getting a scoop free box instead (best decision ever!!). But the size and quality of the this box was very good.

It doesn't screw on, but rather "snaps" on. I have the normal Petmate feeders, and the LeBistro one seems to be much harder to get off (I even have to work a bit at it). I don't think a normal cat would be able to get the lid off, but there are some exceptional cats out there. ;)

I have the same problem but cats vs dogs, I will order this and try it on the top of door but move it closer to the hinge side to open up the door more, I'll let you know the results Frank Ok, I installed on the top edge of the door about midway, it works fine to allow cats to their box. You have to be tall enough to unlatch when you enter though and overall it seems easy to break if you forget to unlatch, I wish it was stronger.

The lid doesn't snap down securely, but it's so flat across the top that it wouldn't be easy for a cat to dislodge (or realize they could). My cats have never bothered mine - it looks like it's snapped on and they're not the smartest cats.

Definitely. You don't have to put it in while you assemble the box. The inner divider is optional. I know friends who put a big litter pan inside, almost the size of the whole cat box.

Hi Joseph - the lid sits on top. I've had mine now for a number of years and am very happy with it. It's a good quality product and I certainly recommend it. Always best to store foodstuff in glass rather than plastic. :)

Nope! I own three cats and have never had a problem! There is very little room on the lid for a paw to slip through :)

No it does not snap into place. It just rests on the top. I wish it gave a little resistance to make a challenge for my daughter but it doesn't.

I purchased a top entry version in 2013. The opening is on the top which has reduce the litter outside the box to a few specks. My cat is a large 20lb 12 year old. He's able to get in & out with no issues.

I have the feeder positioned so the lid hits the wall when it opens...my cat waits for that sound and goes running when it opens...=)

I removed the hinged door as my cats wouldn't use the box with it on; so I can't really respond to this question. My cats are happy with the size of the box and its roominess and use it without trouble for them or me.
