The Smart Cat Litter Step XL takes the original litter step concept and improves it with two features cat owners actually need: adjustable height and a removable waste drawer. Designed specifically for automatic litter boxes and elevated cat toilets, this step helps capture litter before it reaches your floor while making maintenance easier than ever.
Unlike fixed-height litter steps, this redesigned version can be adjusted to better match different litter box entry heights. Whether you're using a self-cleaning litter box, a Litter-Robot style system, or another elevated design, you can customize the fit for safer and more comfortable access.
The integrated pull-out drawer collects tracked litter beneath the step surface. When it's time to clean, simply slide out the drawer, empty the contents, and slide it back in—no need to disassemble the entire unit. This makes routine maintenance faster, cleaner, and far less frustrating.
The textured stepping surface encourages cats to take multiple steps as they exit, helping shake loose litter from their paws before it reaches your floors. Less tracking means less sweeping, less vacuuming, and a cleaner home.
Perfect for:
- Automatic litter boxes
- Self-cleaning litter systems
- Elevated litter boxes
- Multi-cat households
- Homes with excessive litter tracking
Designed for easy printing, simple assembly, and everyday use, this upgraded version focuses on what matters most: keeping litter contained while making cleanup effortless.

Why I Redesigned It
After using similar litter steps, I found the biggest annoyance wasn't collecting the litter—it was having to take everything apart just to empty it. This redesign adds a dedicated pull-out drawer and adjustable height system to make daily use significantly easier while maintaining excellent litter capture performance.
If you print one, I'd love to see your make and hear any ideas for future improvements!
