A lower step and a place to collect loose litter.

The PawNovi Litter Box Step & Litter Catcher combines a textured top with a collection tray and wooden base. It is listed at 30 × 20 × 10 cm and 671 g, in Dark Gray, with an ABS body and wooden base. Use those measurements to check the space beside the box your cat already uses.

Measure the entrance and the floor around it

Mark a 30 × 20 cm area on the floor and compare the 10 cm height with the entrance to your litter box. Leave a clear approach and exit rather than filling the whole route with an accessory. The listing describes use with covered, open and automatic litter boxes; you still need to check how this separate step sits alongside your particular box.

Watch how your cat takes the step

The low-profile format is described for kittens, older cats and cats with limited mobility. Check your own cat’s route and comfort rather than assuming that every pet will use a new step immediately. Its wooden base supports the listed stable design. Place it where the animal can approach the box naturally, then watch whether the new arrangement actually makes the entrance easier to use.

Empty what the textured top collects

The textured top is intended to remove loose litter from paws before it spreads farther across the floor. Lift off the top to empty litter collected in the tray, as described in the listing. Check the tray as part of your normal litter-area routine. It helps contain tracked litter around the exit, while the litter box itself still needs its usual attention.

Before you choose the position

  • Compare the 30 × 20 cm footprint with your available floor space.
  • Check the 10 cm height against your litter-box entrance.
  • Keep a clear route for your cat to approach and leave.
  • Leave enough access to lift the top and empty the tray.
