this scooper is really large, almost large enough yo be used for horse poop. But we use it for our kitty because she pees a ton and tends to cause the litter to clump up in large blocks, the regular cat scooper wasn't up to the task. So we brought this bad boy in and it works great. Not only can it pick up large chunks of cat litter and poop, but the extended handle means we do not have to lean down and be near the waste as its removed.
