items The litter box quandary is the “worst” part of having cats. Beyond the basic advice to have at least one box per cat plus an extra, scoop daily, and clean regularly, having the right set-up for you and your cats is key. Focus on good placement, good ...

Litter boxes
The box itself is the main consideration. There are plenty of options to meet your needs… and please your cat.
I always like suggesting this box for people who feel grossed out by scooping the box. The “active” portion of the box is relatively small, but it is a covered box, and the “scooping” is done by rolling the box to the side so that it sifts itself. It...
Omega Paw Self-Cleaning Litter Box
This box is massive and still inexpensive. It was perfect for my Siberian, and it would work well for a Maine Coon or a multi-cat household. It is easy to clean and scoop, because the inside edges are straight and gently rounded off. The entry is low...
ExquisiCat Compartment Litter Box with Storage
While this is advertised as a box for “seniors” I find it's a bit shallow for most adult cats to dig comfortably. However, it is an excellent box for small kittens to use as a starter box.
KITTYGOHERE Senior Cat Litter Box, Sand, Large
This box solves one problem - privacy. If you have dogs that harass the cat in the box or steal “logs” out of the box, this has a curving step that provides almost total privacy for the box. Now, it does have all the scooping issues of a round box, p...
Petmate Booda Clean Step Cat Litter Box Dome
I've switched to stainless steel litter boxes. The cannot be scratched when digging and don't hold onto odors like a plastic box. With or without the cover, this one works great, and the large size is perfect for multiple cats.
Stainless Steel XL Cat Litter Box with Lid
This is our travel litter box. It is almost mess-free, since it can be completely closed for travel, even while “fully loaded.” It also has multiple access options, so I can configure it differently for car use or use at Grandma's house.
NOVOLAB Cat Enclosed Travel Litter Box Kit
If you have a truly large cat (Maine Coons and Siberians, I'm looking at you) and still want a covered box, the Kat Kave is a great option. You can also make a similar box from a very large storage container, but be careful to find one with a complet...
Kat Kave | Litterbox
If you want to splurge on a totally automated litter box, I recommend the Litter Robot. It is a solid option, that is safe and easy to maintain.

There is also the basic plastic litter box. If you don't know what type of box you want to invest in, or you don't yet know what your cat prefers, it's always good to save your money and start with something basic.
IRIS Large Cat Litter Box with Scatter Shield & Scoop, Navy
These are disposable litter boxes. I always keep a few on hand for sick cats, travel, quarantine, or evacuation. They are a cost effective option for an emergency.
KITTY SIFT Disposable Cat Litter Box, 6 count, Jumbo

A litter box alone won't cut it. These are some options to make things like scooping and cleaning a bit easier.
This is hand's down the best scoop you can buy. It is easy to handle, sifts quickly, and does not clog. It is also durable and easy to clean.
Litter Lifter Cat Litter Scoop (Colors May Vary)
I have these in several colors. They work just like a rubber mat, by trapping tracked litter and letting you empty it back into the box. However, they are wooden and hold up better to heavy traffic than a rubber mat, which can tend to shift or fill u...
THE REFINED FELINE Litter Catch for Enclosure, Mahogany Brown
Litter box furniture can help you improve access, by providing spaces to put boxes right in the main part of the house. My favorite furniture is a dining hutch with a hole cut into the hidden side and a dust barrier built under the shelves. However, ...
PETSITE Cat Litter Box Enclosure, Large, White
These are great for holding the litter scoops. They are stable enough for tall or heavy scoops, and they are easy to clean. They help keep the mess contained and ensure there is also a spot to put a scoop.
Ipetboom 2Pcs Cat Litter Scoop Holder Blue
Litter boxes must be scooped 1 to 2 times per day. However, I never want to make that last run to the trash bin or have clumps in my kitchen trash. A litter genie is a great addition to keep the smell contained. I have one stored near each of my litt...
Litter Genie XL+ Cat Litter Waste System
Which litter to use can be a very personal decision for you and your cat. There are issues to think about with access, consistency, scooping, cleaning, and price, as well as sustainability. This is the one I use. It's a basic litter, available almost...
Scoop Away Clumping Clay Cat Litter - Unscented, Low Dust
These are a must-have for me. They are foam mats. I think they work well to put under a litter box to protect the floor, inside a litter cabinet to avoid sliding, and anywhere paws might need some protection. They can be easily cut or trimmed to size...
