Cat Litter Boxes - Finding the Best One for Your Home

By Simon Alves


Cat lovers today don't have to settle for the traditional cat litter boxes that are difficult to clean and smell up your whole house.

Disposable litter boxes are an option many like. These can be a good choice if you don't want to have the hassle of cleaning a litter box but you don't want to pay for a self-cleaning unit. One disadvantage to these disposable boxes is the fact that you have to keep buying more of them.

One option in a disposable litter box is the Kitty's WonderBox made of recycled paper designed to minimize odor. This is one option for those who despise scooping or cleaning litter boxes. For a self cleaning box that you don't have to change for weeks, check out the Complete Scoop Free Automatic Litter Box. The waste is raked into a covered area as soon as your cat leaves the box and the litter cartridge absorbs odors and moisture, keeping odor to a minimum. You can leave it untouched for up to 30 days without cleaning or refilling it. The kit comes with two litter cartridges and costs about $130. This good self- cleaning litter box isn't as expensive as other models.

The Booda Dome Clean Step Litter Box will solve most litter box issues for you. This box is large enough for two cats and covered too. This box has an elevated ramp that prevents litter from escaping and the design of the steps helps to keep your cat's paws clean. The topside filter keeps odors at bay. This Booda Dome Clean Step Litter Box only costs around $30 and offers many helpful features.

Many owners of multiple cats wonder how many litter boxes they need. Factors like how many cats you own, how well they get along, and what they're used to will determine the answer to that question. It's generally best to have a separate litter box for each cat but some cats don't mind sharing a box. You may find that if you have more than one cat, a different type of box will work better for each one. One, for example, may prefer a covered box and the other an open one. Cats don't like frequent changes so find what works best and stick with it. You will need to shop around in order to find the best litter box for your cats and home. Price, convenience, and odor control are important factors to consider. As you search for the best litter box, do some research and consider the ones discussed above.
