Litter bix5/9/2023 ![]() So, I’m not a fan of lidded litter boxes. After that, the cats happily used it – actually, they were still kittens at this point.Īt the size they are now, the lid would have been too low and they would not have been able to hold their tails clear as they like to do. By the end of the first day, we had removed the flap.īy the end of the second day, the lid was consigned to the basement. When we first got our Maine Coons, the only large tray in our local pet store came with a lid and a flap. The idea seems to be to contain odors, hide the view of the contents and contain litter that would otherwise be flung about. I honestly believe this type was designed with owners in mind and not cats. Being tall cats, even in a squatting position, most lidded boxes are not tall enough for Maine Coons, or when they are tall enough, aren’t long or wide enough. However, there is no scientific evidence to back this up. Some people believe a cat feels vulnerable when doing its business, and therefore prefers to have 360 vision and to know it can make a quick getaway if necessary. In my experience, though they love squeezing into small spaces to sleep, when it comes to toileting Maine Coons seem to prefer open-plan trays. The two I’ve reviewed above are trays without lids. There are a variety of litter boxes to choose from, some quite basic and others rather gimmicky. There’s a handle built-in each within the rim which makes it easy to pick up to move or clean. It also has anti-microbial protection to help prevent the build-up of odors and stains. It’s a more traditional shape with high sides to prevent litter scattering, an easy-clean spout, and a non-stick surface for easy cleaning.Īt 23 x 18.5 x 11 inches it’s slightly smaller overall but as it doesn’t have the storage pockets there probably isn’t that much difference in size between the two trays. If the storage area in the first tray doesn’t appeal to you, Nature’s Miracle High-Sided Litter Box might be your preference. This is another litter box with more than 1000 five-star reviews.
