Kerry, I just got a new box and it's not covered, but the sides are 11" high (23.4"long and 18.25" wide). Here's a link - I got it at PetsMart, but it's Rubbermaid and should be available at other places.

FUnny you should mention the Home Depot cement mixer Nina---I went that
route for about 6 months earlier this year. As you know it's not a
covered box; what happened was Tiger did his business (consistently)
right at one end of the box and frequently spilled over. I threw it away
and went back to the biggest covered box I could find.
Which brings me to a Q that's been puzzling me for ages.
There is plenty of choice of long litter boxes in pet stores *without*
covers.
But the same length of litter box *with* covers seems not to exist? I've
looked in Foster and Smith catalogues too---nothing there either. Does
anyone know where they can be found?
Considering you're supposed to provide a box that's at least one and a
half times the length of the cat I find this odd--that the only type
readily available is uncovered.
Any info on finding a loooooong covered litter box appreciated!

Ha! No, I'm not a cat, I just try and think like one, (or a dog, or a
bird, or any animal I want to relate too). I think the kitties in my
life do think I'm a huge clumsy cat sometimes! Especially when I mimic
their vocalizations. I tell them all the time, I'm sorry I'm not as
graceful in my movements as they are.
Something else that I didn't mention to Kerry... Sometimes cats that
are "picky" about their litter, will use a bigger box more reliably. I
have a couple of jumbo boxes that I got at Home Depot. They're actually
the pans that are used for mixing small amounts of cement. They're dirt
cheap and they work great for nice big litterboxes. Also, some kitties
don't like using a communal litterbox, it is after all a way of marking
territory. Adding more boxes, in different locations sometimes helps.
If our little man Cotton has accidents only when he's not feeling well,
then I don't think it's behavioral. Poor little sprite!
