The system comes in two sizes, Original and XL, and we recommend the latter option for most adult cats. For homes with one cat, a pee pad can last up to a week (less so in homes with multiple cats), and to replace the pad, a tray easily slides out. The litter box has three and a half walls over a foot high to prevent splatter, and it comes with a scoop for expediting the removal of solids. Bradford, M. A., Veen, G. F., Bonis, A., Bradford, E.

Plus, Open Top Cat Litter Box comes with a slotted scoop that has a built-in handle to attach itself anywhere along the perimeter of the shield. This project also uses a storage container to enclose your litter box, but it’s so simple that anyone should be able to accomplish it. Like many of the projects on our list, it requires a jigsaw. Because there are so many sizes of storage containers, the enclosure should work for a litter box of any dimension. It’s a good choice for owners of large breed cats like Maine Coons or Ragdolls. Adding a litter mat to this enclosure helps cut down on the mess, in addition to keeping the box out of sight. Bradford, M. A., Warren, R. J. I. I., Baldrian, P., Crowther, T. W., Maynard, D.

We tested this litter box from IRIS USA with two cats and found it to be a little too snug for the larger cat who weighs 17 pounds. The smaller cat, closer to 10 pounds, had no issue with the entry way so we recommend this litter box be reserved for homes with adult cats on the smaller side. Place a litter box inside your home. Even if your cat is typically let outside to do his business, you should have at least one litter box in your house so he has the option to use it when he is indoors. If you do not already have a litter box for your cat, this could be the reason he peed in your plant in the first place. [4] X Research source

The size can be customized, allowing you to fit the enclosure into tight spaces if necessary. Not all cats like top-entry boxes, so monitor your kitty’s reaction to the enclosure carefully.
