Summary
The Nature’s Miracle Advanced Corner Hooded Litter Box is a cat-pleaser and its space-saving design and odor control filter make it a people-pleaser too. The extra large opening on this covered litter box makes it perfect for plus size cats.
Specifications
The Nature’s Miracle Advanced Corner Hooded Litter Box dimensions are 26″L x 13″W x 21″H. This corner litter box has an extra large opening that is approximately 12” x 13”. The entrance is about 7” from the floor. The base and hooded top are each 10” tall. Two latches on the sides hold them together. The Nature’s Miracle Advanced Corner Hooded Litter Box has a graphite-colored base and a pearl white hood. There is a replaceable charcoal filter on top of the litter box to reduce odors. These filters cost less than $2 a piece and last for up to 3 months.
Cat-Friendliness
When it comes to the ideal litter box, your cat is going to want something that is large enough for them to move around in but at the same time provides some degree of privacy. The Nature’s Miracle Advanced Corner Hooded Litter Box is one of the larger litter boxes on the market. But the large opening makes this litter box feel even more spacious. It provides adequate space for cats of all sizes to do their business. This litter box is also ideal for multi-cat households. Overall, this litter box gets top marks for cat-friendliness.
Owner-Friendliness
The Nature’s Miracle Advanced Corner Hooded Litter Box has a few owner-friendly design features that are worth noting. This litter box is designed to fit in corners, which is a great space-saving feature compared to most rectangular boxes. But it still has a rather large footprint. So make sure you take some measurements before you purchase one. The charcoal filter does a decent job at reducing odors, but it would be far more effective if the litter box had a door to keep odors bypassing the filter.
The large opening on this litter box has its positives and negatives. On the plus side, it is great for your cat and it makes daily scooping easier than having to remove the entire lid. But on the down side, you’re going to have more litter escaping from the box. The covered top and sides will definitely reduce litter tracking more than a completely open litter box, but may not be as good as a top-entry design.
Most owners find that the opening is large enough to scoop litter, but for thorough cleaning, you’ll need to unlatch and remove the hood. This litter box does not have a handle on the top; so moving it can be a bit of a nuisance.
If you have a cat that tends to spray or pee along the sides of the litter box, the Nature’s Miracle Advanced Corner Hooded Litter Box may not be the best solution. Owners have complained that this box is not leak-proof. Urine will seep between the lid and base and end up on the floor. But for normal use, the 10” high base should be more than sufficient.
Quality / Durability
The Nature’s Miracle Advanced Corner Hooded Litter Box is made of durable plastic that should last for several years. The latches are well made, but aren’t designed to support the weight of a full litter box.

Summary / Recommendations
The Nature’s Miracle Advanced Corner Hooded Litter Box is one of our top-rated litter boxes because of its cat-friendly design and space-saving corner configuration. You get the benefits of reduced litter tracking but with the convenience of being able to scoop without removing any lids.
We do not recommend the Nature’s Miracle Advanced Corner Hooded Litter Box if you are looking for a leak-proof litter box for cats who tend to pee or spray while standing up. This litter box does not have any mechanism for preventing urine from leaking out between the base and the top. Our top-rated leak-proof litter boxes are the Catit Jumbo Hooded Cat Litter Pan and the Modkat Litter Box.
