litter boxes
this is a plastic litter box with a detachable lid. it measures 21.31 (L) x 17.19 (H) x 18.69 (W) inches and helps keep litter from flying out the box. the flap is detachable if your cat doesn't know how to use it. this is an affordable litter box th...

if you prefer manually scooping your cat's litter box then i highly recommend investing in a stainless steel one! it harbors less odor and is more durable than plastic litter boxes. this one comes with a lid that has high walls to prevent litter from...

petkit puramax automatic litter box
hands down the best automatic litter box that you can buy on the market; however, it comes with a very hefty price point ($700). if you are a multi-cat household and are tired of scooping multiple litter boxes multiple times a day, i definitely recom...

if you manually scoop your litter boxes then i highly recommend you buy a metal scoop rather than a plastic one. metal scoops are much easier to clean and harbor less odor and bacteria. plus this one comes in so many colors and in 2 sizes (small and ...
WePet Aluminum Cat Litter Scoop, Heavy Duty
another great option for a metal scooper except the shape of this is like a metal rack(?). i find that this design is best for tofu litter or any long grained litter/pellets. this one also comes with a little holder, and the scoop itself has a little...
UFECODO Cat Litter Scoop with Holder Stand
litter

Tuft & Paw Really Great Low Tracking Tofu Cat Litter
a great option for a mixed tofu litter. i used this when i had a petkit puramax litter box. i think it works pretty well and clumps fast for a tofu litter.
petkit mixed bentonite tofu litter
love this tofu litter and it kinda smells like a baked good??? i had to stop using it because one of my cats would try to eat it! unless your cat is a munch like mine, i recommend this brand if you like using tofu litter!
