Yes — overwhelmingly, cats adapt immediately. Stainless steel is inert and odorless, so there's nothing about the material itself that cats find off-putting. In fact, many cats prefer it because it stays cleaner and doesn't retain old smells. Simply transfer your cat's existing litter into the box and they'll use it as normal. Even kittens transition without issue.

It eliminates it. Unlike plastic, which is porous and absorbs ammonia into microscopic scratches, stainless steel is non-porous — meaning urine and bacteria have nowhere to absorb. Customers who switched report that the persistent urine smell they'd accepted as "part of having cats" disappeared entirely within the first week. The material simply doesn't hold odor the way plastic does.

Our litterbox significantly reduces tracking thanks to tall, rigid walls that guide cats to exit through the entry point rather than jumping out from any side. You'll still want a litter mat at the entrance, but customers report dramatically less scatter compared to low-sided plastic boxes. One reviewer specifically noted that litter is no longer "all the way around" the box like it was before.

Never. That's the point. Plastic boxes degrade, scratch, and absorb odor within months — forcing you to replace them regularly. Stainless steel doesn't scratch easily, doesn't absorb anything, and doesn't degrade. Clean it normally, and it will last for the lifetime of your cat. It's the last litter box you'll ever need to buy.

No. Stainless steel is significantly heavier and more stable than plastic. One customer specifically mentioned their cat would regularly tip plastic boxes by standing on the edge to scrape, but the PurrSteel stays firmly in place. The weight of the steel plus the litter creates a stable base that won't shift or tip during use.

Not noticeably. The litter itself provides a barrier between your cat's paws and the steel, so they're not walking directly on metal. Customers report zero hesitation from their cats, even in winter. Room temperature steel with a layer of litter feels neutral to the touch.
