Suitable Litter Box for Cats
Understanding that every house and situation is not similar, I’m going to walk you through how to choose the “best” litter box for cat. Litter Box Setup article, we talk about the “ideal” setup which is most important.
Don’t panic. We’ll talk about how to make the best of what’s enough and what you can suffer.
We all have not similar places where we draw the line. For me, it’s a Litter Box in the kitchen or bathroom. That’s something I am uncomfortable with.
Having said that there are situations where I’d be willing and eager to put a Box in my kitchen or bathroom. If cat was experiencing stress, having issues with other cat in my house or pooping outside the box, I resolve the situation.
If cat isn’t having home soiling, stress, or problems with another pets in the home, you can be a bit relaxed about what’s “i

Measurements
Measurements are not all times simple as looking at the proportion on the packaging of the box. Some business boxes include storage compartments on the last. The measurements on the litter box will include the section. Deal.”
That’s the room your cat can stand in – that needs to be 1½ time’s cat’s body length (or about as long as cat, including most of their tail).
The box should enough wide that cat can turn easily. A litter box should be at least 12–16 inches wide, depending on the size and age of cat (senior cats may need more space to turn around).
If you are doing a DIY option, think about the size of the box. Boxes are narrow at the bottom than the top.
How to make a DIY litter box see below.
Shape
Box size can also be confusing. Corner Boxes, for example, are large when you measurement corner to corner. But what’s the most usable space for cat? They unlike to back into one of those corners. When you look at the middle that your cat can easily use, it’s too smaller than the overall size of the box.
Unluckily, we can’t find a commercially available corner litter box that is too big.
Senior and limited-mobility litter boxes
May come a time when cat can’t manage getting in and out of a consistent litter box. It could be arthritis or a temporary medical issue.
These specially designed boxes have down sides and very low, flat entrances so senior or don’t have to worry about stepping or jumping in and out. Very low sides also make it easier to turn around while in the box. Even a potting tray same to this one could work with its wide, low side.
Making your own DIY cat litter box
Sometimes I suggest people make their own litter box, especially if they have big cats.
The perfect thing about making your own litter box is that you can pinch it to fit your cat’s needs. For example:
Two entry openings. It’s ordinary for cats to step in the box and go from their backend hanging out the opening. A big box can help. As I talked that earlier, senior cats have a hard time turning inside the box. You can try adding a second opening in the back and positioning the box so cat can enter from one side, do their business and then step right out through the another side.
Lower entry openings. The pictures of the box I made below in the high-sided DIY part have a slightly higher opening.
As my senior cat got older and her ability to move worse, I was able to make the opening to her boxes lower and wider so she could get in and out more comfortable. Covered Box. There are times when you may needed a covered box. Maybe you have panting issues and need to control litter fine particles. I have only come across a little cats who prefer a covered box but it happens. Making your own gives you the option to go much bigger than you will find in commercial and covered boxes.
