How to buy the right cat litter box for your cat is something that many novice shovellers and those with only a little experience struggle with.

So many pooper scoopers think that the cat litter box is just a convenient way for the cat to go to the toilet, not too important. Therefore, when buying a cat litter tray, they usually just choose a cheap and high selling product on Taobao and leave it at that.

However, many times the result is troubling:

1. There is no way to clean the cat litter, and sometimes you can even dig out a piece of poop.

2. The strange smell that you can’t get enough of, if you meet a diligent master, it’s quite acceptable; but if you meet a lazy master who doesn’t want to bury the poop, the smell that mixes with the tofu litter is simply disgusting. ……..

3. Even sometimes the master has a whim and tries to use a new toilet position, and can poop on the edge of the litter tray ..….

But then, please don’t be anxious, many times the problem is actually not the cat, but the wrong litter tray you bought!

There are four key points that you should remember to understand how to judge a litter tray:

1. Cat litter is not carried outside;

2. Odour does not spread;

3. Cat poop does not leak out;

4. Easy to dismantle and shovel.

There are three main types of litter trays: fully open, semi-enclosed, and fully enclosed.

Each type is further divided into two structures: single-layer basins and double-layer basins.

Next, we will give you a detailed step-by-step explanation.

01

Single layer basin vs Double layer basin 

1 Single layer basin:
Advantages: easy to clean, easy for cats to get in and out, can visually see the number of times a cat defecates.

Disadvantages: the smell of cat poop on the head, easy to disperse and easy to bring out the cat litter, more expensive cat litter!

2 Double-layer basin:
Advantages: the lower layer is covered with diapers to separate stool and urine, relatively saving cat litter and reducing cleaning work.

Disadvantages: can not use pine sand, wood chip sand and other particles of sand, easy to be blocked and cats do not like.

You can not be too entangled in the choice of buying a single layer basin and a double layer basin, a single layer basin can actually meet everyone’s needs, and:

1, single layer basin pri

ce is more suitable, simple structure, suitable for novice pooper scooper;

2, Double-layer basin price is higher, and double-layer basin, although it reduces the waste of cat litter to a certain extent, but it is easy to buy the wrong type of cat litter.

After all, pine sand, wood shavings sand these large particles of cat litter, whether cost-effective or effect is not as good as tofu sand, bentonite clay this kind of cat litter.

Open Litter Pan

How can you go through life without ever using a fully open litter tray!

It’s a sight to behold and a lot of people still use them hahaha!

The pros, well, are pretty obvious: cheap!

The rest is all trouble!

Let’s judge by the criteria we just used:

1. cat litter is not taken out;

This problem is still there. Instead, this litter tray has the worst carry-out and needs to be cleaned every day.

2, Odour does not spread;

Not resolved. Instead, it leads to severe odour diffusion.

Cats cover poop is considered an innate skill, but because of the environment and kittens on the take home more cases, many cats if the cat mother as a child in the cat’s side of a shorter period of time, it will not bury the poop, after all, often a pile of air-dried cat poop on the shelves here, who came to be unbearable

3, cat poop does not leak;

There is no solution. Even!!! Sometimes the master will also poop on the edge of the cat litter box, simply!

4, Easy to disassemble and scoop.

Basically solved. But the problem is still there, the smell, cat litter outside, cat poop leakage problems have not been solved, I think very few people will because of the convenience of shovelling poop and let their own living environment suffered a “devastating” blow.

Especially nowadays, many cat owners are working party who rent a house, the house is not big, and then put a full-open cat litter box, especially in summer, the smell will be smoked to death. ……

03

Semi-closed Litter Pan

Semi-closed litter boxes are a “complement” to the fully open type:

In order to solve the problem of cat litter and cat poop, the semi-closed litter box is surrounded by a barrier to avoid litter and poop from flying around.

And the price is not much higher than the open type, at most a few dollars more. However, the smell leaks out! This is a “fatal” problem that has not been solved.

The smell will still come out unchecked and fill your whole house with the smell of love.

In summary, the review is as follows:

1. cat litter take-out;

Basic solution. The guardrails on all four sides do a good job.

2. Odour diffusion;

Not solved. The “smell of love” is already wafting through your house.

3. Cat faeces leakage;

Basic solution. But does not exclude the cat suddenly, give you a love “gift”.

4. Disassembly, shovelling convenient.

Basically solved, semi-open cat litter box and full open cat litter box because of the open space, do not need to disassemble, so when shovelling can be easily disposed of.

04

Fully enclosed litter tray

The rest, Fuqiang used our no less than ten models of cat litter boxes, do a statistics and opinion collection. We found that in the end, except for some “tycoon” directly on the intelligent cat litter box, basically all choose the fully enclosed cat litter powder.

05

Lastly, the litter tray is not a disposable tool.

The litter tray is not a disposable tool, and if properly adapted, will last for several years.

Therefore, it is not recommended to save a little money by buying a litter box and then suffer all the time.

In addition, do not buy a small litter tray, but buy a large one. Because the cat grows up, grows a year old to change a basin, grows a year old to change a basin, how much does it cost? It is better to do it all at once and save money and effort and money.
