Advice for Choosing the Best Cat Litter Boxes
By Albert Gomez
When you look at cat litter boxes and try to figure out which one to get, it's important to remember that what's really important is whether or not your cat likes it. If you get the wrong size or features that scare your cat you'll be in for a rough transition. On the other hand you want one that makes your life easier so you want to look for a box that minimizes odor and is self cleaning. This article will take you through a few of the available types of cat litter boxes that may suit your needs as well as the needs of your cat.
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.
One system you need to check out is the Booda Dome Clean Step Litter Box which solves many litter box issues and is not expensive. the Booda Dome Clean Step Litter Box is a covered box large enough for two cats. 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. There is a filter that helps keep odor under control. This Booda Dome Clean Step Litter Box only costs around $30 and offers many helpful features.
Kitty litter boxes come in various sizes, styles, and prices. If you've spent time around cats, you know they have their own personalities which you'll need to consider when choosing a litter box. Most cats can adjust, however, 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.
