Georplast RotoToilet, 52×40×40 cm is a roomy hooded litter box from the Italian maker Georplast. It's made of quality non-toxic plastic with a smooth surface that resists scratches and chips, washes easily and doesn't absorb odours. A carbon filter adds a barrier against unpleasant smells. The hood attaches to the base with side clips and has a carry handle and a holder for the included scoop. The entrance has a removable plastic flap that swings easily as the cat goes in and out. The enclosed design keeps litter from being scattered around your home.
Why a hooded litter box
Many cats prefer a private spot for the toilet, especially shy cats or those living with other pets. A hooded box also keeps litter inside when a cat digs vigorously and contains odour. It's easier to keep the area around the box clean. More on choosing in which litter box to choose for a cat.

Getting your cat used to it
The manufacturer recommends removing the flap at first so your cat has free access to the litter. You can add a little used litter from the old box — the familiar smell signals what the place is for. Once your cat is using it confidently, put the flap back and make sure it can get in and out. More in how to litter-train a kitten.
The carbon filter
The filter in the hood absorbs some of the odours rising from the box. It doesn't replace cleaning, but it noticeably reduces smell. Over time the carbon saturates and works less well — then the filter needs replacing. The more regularly you clean the box, the longer the filter lasts.
Which litter to use
Any litter works in a hooded box — clumping, silica, wood or tofu. With clumping litter, the included scoop is handy. How to choose: how to choose cat litter. Bentonite litter such as Van Cat Classic works well, for example.
Care
Remove clumps and solid waste daily, and replace all the litter as it gets dirty. For a deep clean, take off the hood, wash the tray and hood with warm water and a mild, unscented detergent, and dry them well. Strong smells of bleach or fragrance can put a cat off the box.
How many cats
One box is usually meant for one cat. With several cats, it's better to have several boxes in different places — there's less conflict and it's easier to keep clean. The roomy RotoToilet also suits large cats: there's enough space inside to turn around and dig.
Where to put it
Choose a quiet, draught-free spot your cat can reach at any time — not next to its bowls. Leave space in front of the flap. The handle on the lid lets you move the box when needed.
Who it suits
Owners of adult cats, especially shy ones and vigorous diggers, who want a roomy hooded box with a filter, scoop and secure hood. Similar models are the Georplast Vicky and Georplast Galaxy Deluxe; all litter boxes are in the cat litter boxes section.
Verdict
The Georplast RotoToilet is a roomy 52×40×40 cm hooded litter box in non-toxic plastic with a carbon filter, a scoop on the lid, side clips, a handle and a removable flap. The downsides are that the filter needs replacing over time, the box takes up space, and some cats need time to get used to the flap.
