Criteria for evaluating cat litter

The characteristics of the pet and the owner’s preferences in the frequency of cleaning significantly influence the answer to the question: which litter box is the best for a cat. The following criteria will help you decide on the appropriate type of cat litter.

Material – almost all trays are made of plastic of varying quality. The main thing is to make sure that it does not smell of chemicals and does not bend under slight weight. Cats have a sensitive sense of smell and will simply reject a pungent-smelling litter box.
Tray design - if you are the owner of a timid cat or someone who likes to rummage through the litter until they go crazy and throw it out of the toilet, then closed toilets with protection from prying eyes and walls to hold the litter inside the structure are suitable for you. The open type is suitable for owners of several cats, as it is immediately clear when cleaning is necessary.
Size – small trays, although they look neat, are actually only suitable for kittens. An adult cat needs a toilet that is more spacious so that it can easily turn around, and for closed types it is important to choose the height of the top lid, otherwise the cat will not be able to straighten up inside the toilet house.
The need to use filler - a lattice-limiter will allow you not to spend money on filler, but not every cat will agree to this option; it is better to accustom it to such a tray from a young age.
Cost – traditional litter boxes with or without bars are cheap, and you can buy two of them at once, which, by the way, cats love. Expensive dry closets and self-cleaning trays are a serious purchase, and it’s worth weighing the pros and cons, because in addition to buying the filler, you will need special cartridges, cleaning products and sprays.
Ease of cleaning - open toilets are quick to clean, however, in the absence of filler, a difficult-to-clean residue may form in the corners of the tray. Closed toilets should be easy to disassemble and not have hard-to-reach areas where dirt can accumulate.
