Find spacious cat litter boxes and litter mats designed to make everyday cleanup easier. This collection includes open-top, high-sided, and roomy box styles for cats with different sizes, mobility needs, and digging habits, plus mats that help catch loose litter near the box.
How to Choose a Cat Litter Box
The best litter box gives your cat enough room to enter, turn, dig, and cover waste comfortably. Measure your available floor space, but avoid choosing a box that is too small simply to fit a tight corner. Larger cats and enthusiastic diggers often benefit from an extra-large or high-sided design.
Open-top boxes: Provide easy access, clear visibility, and convenient daily scooping.
High-sided boxes: Help contain litter kicked or scattered during digging.
Lower-entry designs: May be easier for kittens, senior cats, or cats with limited mobility.
Litter mats: Catch loose particles near the entrance and make floor cleanup simpler.
Open vs. Enclosed Litter Boxes
Open boxes offer airflow and easy access, while enclosed boxes provide more visual privacy and may help contain scattered litter. Your catâs preference matters most. If your cat hesitates to enter a covered box, an open or semi-closed design may be a more comfortable choice. Browse our litter boxes with lids to compare covered options.
Box Size and Placement
Place the litter box in a quiet, accessible location away from food and water. In multi-cat homes, distribute boxes across different areas rather than placing every box together. Scoop daily and wash the empty box according to the product instructions. Pair the setup with natural cat litter or mixed cat litter based on your catâs texture preference and cleaning routine.
