Catit Jumbo Hooded Cat Litter Pan

Key Takeaway

This is our first pick for best litter box, as it's a roomier option with enough space for your cat (or even multiple cats) to get down to business without feeling cramped.

PROS

The large hood keeps litter in the box while also lifting right off for easy cleaning. The built-in carbon filter is a champ when it comes to removing unpleasant odors from the air, so you don't have to know exactly what kitty's up to at every moment.

CONS

This is definitely on the expensive end of the litter box spectrum, so it depends how much you're willing to invest in a clean, fresh-smelling home. The carbon filters also need to be replaced periodically to actually filter out all the stink.

Modkat Flip Litter Box with Reusable Liner

Key Takeaway

For the customizable-loving kitty, this litter box has three different privacy settings: open, half open, or closed, so Snowball can choose exactly how modest they want to be with their business.

PROS

The removable inner liner is super easy to clean and lasts 3 months before needing to be replaced, so you can make sure this litter box doesn't become your new after-work hobby without any warning.

CONS

This is another more expensive option that is heavy enough to weigh on your arms and your wallet, so you'll want to have a pretty permanent place in mind before setting down roots with this one.

IRIS Open Top Cat Litter Box with Litter Scoop

Key Takeaway

This is a super simple, functional litter box with plenty of space inside to serve its intended purpose. It may not have bells and whistles, but you don't get stuck paying for them, either.

PROS

This is a much more budget-friendly option than our previous picks, so you can save some cash for the bags of kitty litter you still have to buy (and will have to keep buying, forever). It even comes with a handy dandy scooper, ready for action.

CONS

Although there is a shield to limit litter scatter and spray, this option doesn't come with a hood, so your kitty will be dealing with pretty limited options when it comes to privacy. Some cats are on the shy side and won't like this at all.

Nature's Miracle High-Sided Litter Box

Key Takeaway

With high sides and a low entry point, this is a great option for cats who need increased accessibility like older kitties, shorter kitties, or just lazy really ones.

PROS

The durable plastic and a non-stick surface used in this design make daily scooping and any necessary cleaning super simple and less of a hassle than other options. You won't mourn any lost dollars on this option, either.

CONS

There's not much privacy at all to speak of with this top-open option, so more modest cats may find the experience pretty uncomfortable and totally lacking in luxury. The open air design also won't do much (or anything) to contain odors.

PetSafe ScoopFree Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box

Key Takeaway

This fancy option can actually detect when your cat is using the box, and will automatically scoop and clean after they're done. We think the Jetsons would approve.

PROS

The crystal litter used with this box is an all-star when it comes to removing unpleasant odors and keeping the air *crystal* clear. The disposable tray makes replacing the litter tray a cinch and as mess-free as possible.

CONS

Automatic litter boxes will set you back an arm, leg, and a tail, but if your indoor cat spends long periods of time without you, or you just can't be bothered to spend time scooping every day, this option solves a lot of the hassle.
