Best Cat Litter Boxes

There are various types of litter boxes that may be searched within the category of the best cat litter boxes. What is best for one pet owner may not be best for another. Therefore, you should shop around and weigh your options before purchasing a new box for your feline. One of the newest innovations in the world of cat litter is the self cleaning box. This type of box actually rakes the cat waste into a designated container for easy removal after your cat is done using it. This is achieved by the use of sensors that sense when your cat enters and exits the box.


The self cleaning litter box is substantially more expensive than traditional boxes. These boxes start at around $60 and go up from there. One popular brand is LitterMaid. The LitterMaid box starts around $69 and features a state of the art design and convenient receptacle for cat waste that lets you dump it without being exposed to the litter or the waste. Petmate also makes a self cleaning box, although this one does not use a sensor. You can clean the box with a mere touch of a button. Like the LitterMaid, the Petmate cleans the box and dumps the waste into a convenient container.

You may not want a self cleaning litter box. After all, they are expensive and you may not find it too unpleasant to scoop cat litter. However, even if you go for a traditional litter box there are some shopping tips that can help you choose the right box for you and your cat. First, make sure the box provides ample room for your cat. You may want to buy a covered litter box because cats prefer privacy. Not only that, but odors will be reduced and you won't have to look at an unsightly uncovered litter box. There are actually designer covers that fit over most any box and are made to look like cute cottages and houses. Other covers come with the attached box and are made from plastic.

Some online research can help you discover the best cat litter boxes for your particular needs. You probably don't wish to purchase a litter box online, but you can get a good idea of what you want by browsing the Internet before heading to the store. Along with a box, you will need litter to fill it. There are many different types of cat litters including clay, pine, paper, corn, wheat, sand and more. Many cat owners are turning to the biodegradable and non-toxic cat litters that release no dust and control odors using natural ingredients.
