Litter boxes have evolved! The different types and models are near endless, but they can all be broken down into groups and categorized. In the early years, there was the simple litter pan, which was and still is very economically friendly, but now they can come equipped with higher walls and rim guards that prevent against litter being scattered out as your cat digs. However, these are still relatively primitive compared to whats else is available on the market today. Now you can get cat boxes that are covered, designer cat litter boxes for the fashion-savvy, cat litter boxes that are disguised to look like a piece of furniture, large cat litter boxes for big cats or multi-cat households, and the newest products on the market automated litter boxes. I’ll elaborate on each kind below.
Covered cat litter boxes are by no means new. However, the designs have continued to improve. The cover gives you cat privacy while using the box plus also helps prevent odors and litter scatter from escaping. People who also own dogs will appreciate covered cat boxes as they prevent dogs from getting at the ‘goodies’ within. Newer models simplify the cleaning process and make it as easy as rolling the box over onto a curved side, then rolling it back. As the box is rolled, the litter is passed through a grate separating any soiled material and depositing it into an easy to remove slot. As you roll the box back the slot with the solid litter is automatically kept separate from the rest of the litter, leaving a fresh box. Then you simply pull the slot out and dispose of the soiled litter and then return the slot, whiles never having to scoop for or touch the poop yourself. Covered models are generally the next most economically friendly models available on the market next to the plain old pan, but are an excellent upgrade, and the money spent on them is certainly worthwhile.
