The perch allows the cat to view their landing zone`
Exiting
A jumping exit reduces possibility of tracking
Cleaning prep
Any trash bag can be held over the opening
Filtering
As the litter thing is tipped, clean litter falls through the grate and used litter falls across the grate into the bag
Components
