Have You Seen These Cat Litter Boxes

By Albert Gomez


What kind of litter box to get is something every cat owner needs to consider. There are several types to choose from, from inexpensive litter pans to state of the art self cleaning units. You'll need to consider the number of cats you own, your budget, and whether you want to pay extra for automatic cleaning. In this article we'll be looking at several types of cat litter boxes and the advantages offered by each.

If you ask some people a hooded box is best however there are those who disagree with that theory. Many people believe that cats are more comfortable with a hooded litter box because they provide privacy. There are, however, disadvantages to covered boxes. In many cases they're too small and don't allow the cats to get into a comfortable position inside the box. One thing many complain about with these boxes is that they forget to clean them out because it's easier to ignore them since they are covered. You will have to make that decision for yourself which may mean trying it both ways, open and covered. For an efficient, self-cleaning litter box that you don't have to change for weeks, take a look at 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. One of the main advantages of this unit is that 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 is a good option if you're looking for a self cleaning litter box and it's not as expensive as other models.

LitterMaid's self cleaning boxes are less expensive than other models while saving you the hassle of having to clean the box yourself. As soon as your cat leaves the litter box, these are designed to clean away the waste. It has a rake that automatically deposits the solids into a covered container. If you only have one cat, the container only needs to be changed once a week. The LitterMaid Elite Basic Automatic Self Cleaning Litter Box costs around $150 but you may be able to find it online for less.

The Clevercat Top Entry Litterbox sells for about $50 and is a good alternative to conventional boxes and more expensive self-cleaning ones.

Kitty litter boxes are available in many sizes, styles, and for varying prices. Your cat's personality needs to be considered when you're choosing a litter box. Most cats can adjust if you want to change their habits. Fortunately, there are more options today than ever before, so if you want a litter box that's not as messy and smelly as the old fashioned types, you can find one.
