You just brought your lovely new pet cat home and now you need to find a litter box quick smart. Before you do, did you know that there are so many different types. And of course there are so many price ranges that go with each also. This post aims to illustrate the main types and are listed in the best price order, least to most, that I could come up with.
Disposable – Need cat litter boxes fast? Then make one yourself. You know what they look like so give it a go. Make sure you have a sturdy and water proof (or really thick even) base and then some side so its not all open and out there. When you finally get a proper litter box, just dispose of this one. This is good for any opportunity you have that is temporary and you need a quick fix.
Regular – This is what you were trying to make in the point just above. This is probably rectangular and made from plastic and is the most commonly used one for those with not a great deal to spend on their cat. If you walk into any pet store you will be presented with various basic colors for these.
Dome – Hooded is the other name for this type of litter box. This category can cover any with a cover – pun intended. These ones sort of look like a dog kennel. The reason you would purchase this type is because you want to give your loved one some privacy. These generally have a plastic bottom too. There is a downfall with hooded cat litter boxes and it is that they can trap all the smells you really do not want to trap.
Automatic – Self Cleaning is what these are otherwise known as. I think that this is the ultimate luxury but not for your cat. You won’t need to clean the litter box of your cat if there is an automated arm that sweeps it all out into a tray. You will have to do some work for it though, emptying the tray and other like things.
There are many options for you and your new beloved cat when it comes to litter boxes. The next thing you have to do is find the right cat litter to go into the box. Good luck with taking good care of your little one and have fun buying all of the accessories that it comes with a new cat.
