Cat Litter boxes are available in a wide variety of choices. Before all you had to do was grab a square shaped box and add litter of some sort. NOW you have the option of covered or uncovered, designer boxes that look just like a house, castle or other shape as well as self cleaning units. Whether you, as well as your cat, prefers something simple or you want a high tech model, it's best to shop around and find out what your options are. The article information below will help you weed through the most popular models and make a more informed decision as to what's right for your cat and you.

The simple pans that you pour the litter into and clean out when necessary are the best known type of kitty litter boxes. There are numerous disadvantages that are well known with this type of litter box. These types of litter boxes are wide open and so can offer no odor control. Some cats like having privacy so they prefer a covered litter box. Unlike some of the more advanced options, you have to clean the box yourself. Yet there are also a few benefits to this old fashioned litter pan. With a cost of less than $20, the most obvious benefit is this pan is cheaper than the other models. They're also ideal for kittens, as well as older or ill cats who may have trouble accessing more complicated litter boxes. The Complete Scoop Free Automatic Litter Box is a great option if you're looking for a self-cleaning litter box that you won't have to change for weeks at a time. Odors are kept to a minimum by the litter cartridge absorbing the moisture and the waste is raked into a covered area as soon as your cat leaves the box. For up to 30 days, you can leave this box untouched, with no cleaning or refilling. The kit comes with two litter cartridges and costs about $130. This is a good option if you're looking for a self cleaning litter box and it's not as expensive as other models.

The unique top entry design of the Clevercat Top Entry Litterbox is an innovative way to keep litter inside the box and not throughout your house. Your cat will love the privacy of this award winning unit. If you've ever had a dog get into the cat box you know what the hassle can be, this box prevents dogs from entering the litter box anymore.

You won't have to worry about clogs and jams with this system and there aren't any chemical cartridges to change out either. The main drawback to the Litter-Robot is its high price, which is over $300, but most customers who buy it are happy with it.

Cat litter boxes come in many sizes, styles and price ranges. When choosing a litter box, be sure to consider the personality of your cat. Most cats can adjust, however, if you want to change their habits. With all the available options, you should be able to find one that suits your needs.
