Our furry animals are very clean, so much so that they quickly learn to use their private bathroom. But on the market there are many types of litter boxes for cats, and it is not always easy to choose one.
Bigger, smaller, with or without a lid, for corners or normals… But also, its acquisition is so important that we often buy the first one we see, without being the most appropriate. ¿How can you make the most successful purchase?
What are the most recommended?
The best litter boxes for cats are those that are rather large; In other words, in the event that they lay down, they could do so without problems and there would still be space left over on the sides. In addition, their maintenance is very simple as they are made of a resistant but light plastic at the same time.
They may or may not have a lid, but of course the former are especially interesting when we have shy animals or those who like privacy. This is our selection:

What is the best litter box for cats?
Choosing one or the other will depend a lot on the type of cat we have (shy or not), the number of cats in the house and the budget. But there is nothing to worry about, because we are going to tell you which is the one with the best value for money, both with and without a lid:
With cap
It is, hands down, the best covered cat tray out there. Being made with resistant plastic, when you buy this product you know that it will last you many years. In addition, it includes a carbon filter, which is very useful since it reduces odors, as well as a collecting paddle so that you can collect the stools of your feline, or felines, comfortably, without having to buy it separately.
The dimensions are 50 x 40 x 40cm, perfect for furry adults, and even kittens.
Advantages
- Keeps the smell concentrated inside, preventing the room from smelling bad.
- Its maintenance is simple. It is made up of different parts (tray, cover, door) that can be separated and washed well, except for one of them.
- It is easy to carry as it has a handle.
- Recommended for furry people who want privacy.
- Economical price.
Drawbacks
- You have to change the carbon filter once a month.
- With the passage of time (above all, of the years), due to use, the hooks tend to deteriorate.
- Once the door is hooked, then it takes a bit to separate it.
Capless
Of trays without a lid there are a thousand and one 🙂, but few have the quality and price that the one we advise you has. Unlike the vast majority, has an outer frame which helps to greatly prevent the cat from throwing sand on the ground. In addition, it is the ideal size for furry ones that are large. As if that were not enough, its cost is -almost laughable, allowing you to save.
The dimensions are 57 x 40 x 30cm, and it weighs a total of 630 grams.
Advantages
- It is very, very easy to disassemble and clean.
- It is made with a strong and durable material.
- Thanks to the frame, it is quite clean, much more than the ones that have nothing.
- It has an elegant design.
- The price is unbeatable 😉.
Drawbacks
- The smell is not trapped anywhere.
- Cleaning is somewhat uncomfortable because of what has been said before.
- The cat may not like to feel exposed.
How to choose the cat litter box?
Now that you've seen our selection, let's call, TOP, surely you have doubts about how to choose one, right? Well, here are a few tips that are sure to be very useful to find the most suitable one:
Size
Small trays are often bought for the kitten without thinking that the kitten will grow up. The ideal it is better to buy one that is a good size, thinking about the adult feline that we will have in a few months, since that way it saves.
Without lid or with
This is very personal. If you ask me, I would say con, as this prevents the room from smelling bad and being dirty, apart from the fact that cats usually feel better; But of course, if we take into account that sometimes it is difficult for them to use them at first, they often opt for one that is uncovered.
Number of cats at home / Budget
I put it together well the more cats you have at home, the more litter boxes you will have to buy (The ideal is one for each cat, plus one extra), so depending on your budget you can buy one or the other.
So, I hope that with everything we have told you, it will be easier for you to choose the most suitable litter boxes for your furry cats 🙂.
