A Review of Cat Litter Boxes

By Albert Gomez


These days there's no reason to settle with a traditional litter box that stinks and is hard to clean.

The overall size of the unit is a major concern for most people. Many people end up with a box that doesn't work for the size of cat they have. If you choose a box that's too small your cat is likely not to use it because they are not comfortable in it. Cats, just as litter boxes, come in all different sizes so you want a box that is made for the size you need. Your cat needs to be able to stand comfortably in their box since they eliminate in a standing position. It doesn't matter what style you choose you will want to be sure you are getting the right size.

The best known type of cat litter boxes are the simple pans that you simply pour litter into and clean out when necessary. 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. You have to clean the box yourself with this model unlike some of the more advanced ones. There are benefits of this type of litter pan, however. This pan is much cheaper than other models and usually costs less than $20. The simple pan is ideal for kittens and older cats who may find it difficult to access the more complicated models. 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. You can leave it untouched for up to 30 days without cleaning or refilling it. Costing about $130, the Complete Scoop Free Automatic Litter Box kit includes two litter cartridges. This is a good self-cleaning litter box that's not as expensive as some other models.

The Booda Dome Clean Step Litter Box is cleverly designed litter box that solves many of the typical problems of many litter boxes without being too expensive. 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. You'll keep the odor out of your home with the air filter on this box. So the Booda Dome gives you many impressive features for a litter box that costs about $30.

There are now many cat litter boxes you can find that are quite advanced compared to the traditional kind, and we've looked at just a few possibilities in this article. Litter boxes can range in price from a couple bucks to a couple hundred bucks. The first thing you need to do is decide which features will work best for your cat.
