If you have cats, you know they are fastidiously clean animals, but your cat litter box might be an entirely different story altogether. When it comes to deciding which type of litter box is best for your household, you’ll have many styles from which to choose. Scoop litters have improved greatly and are a great idea for a clean litter box. If you can remember to scoop a few times a day, you should have little to no odor in your home. This is quite impractical though, and you need to find a brand that works well on odors when you can’t get the box scooped as often as you would like.
You can also purchase a litter box that does the scooping for you. This is great for a family that is busy and often forgets to scoop the box. Some come with mechanical attachments that will push the clumps of litter into a tray after the cat has used the litter box. You then only have to empty the tray. You have many choices when choosing a cat litter box. You should keep the number of cats you have, as well as their size, when choosing a litter box. If your home is multiple stories, you should have one litter box on each floor. If you have more than one cat, you will need to purchase more than one litter box.
Some cats are large and will feel cramped in a small enclosed litter box. They may even have a hard time keeping themselves clean if they have to squeeze in. This may cause them to stop using the box altogether and create quite a problem for you. Make sure you choose a litter box that is adequate in size for your cats. Another reason cats may not use a litter box is because of location. If the box is placed in an area of high traffic or where there is a lot of noise, they may not be inclined to use the box. Choose areas that are quiet and somewhat secluded.
If the sight of an open litter box is unseemly for your decor, you can buy models that will hide the box entirely. They look like furniture, and many people won’t know there is a litter box inside unless you tell them. They are also great for keeping stray litter in the box rather than on your carpets or hardwood floors. Cats are easily trained, and as long as you have a big enough box that is situated in an easy to reach yet quiet spot, you should have no trouble getting them to use it. Keep it clean and quiet, and your cat will use the cat litter box every time.
