Size: If you have a large breed cat or a kitty who needs a considerable amount of litter box space to feel comfortable, you will want to buy a big covered litter box. Large cats will generally need box with a 20” length at the very least. We tested this litter box from IRIS USA with two cats and found it to be a little too snug for the larger cat who weighs 17 pounds. The smaller cat, closer to 10 pounds, had no issue with the entry way so we recommend this litter box be reserved for homes with adult cats on the smaller side. Whisker Litter-Robot 4 is a technology-powered litter box that takes away the need for daily scooping. The price tag is significantly higher than other litter boxes, but its ability to provide a fresh bathroom experience for multiple cats is unmatched.A hooded cover can also keep the contents of the litter box inside as much as possible, but many cats, especially the larger ones, feel restricted by a ceiling on their litter box. You should find want keeps your cat the most at ease to prevent peeing and pooping outside of the litter box. Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections—they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Try foul tasting substances. If your cat is chewing on the plants or the pots, try spritzing them with a bad tasting substance. Cats dislike the taste of hot sauces, aloe gel, cayenne pepper, and bitter apple. Add one of these substances to a spray bottle and lightly mist the plant and pot. Do this a few times a week. Eventually, your cat will learn to associate the plant with a bad taste and leave it alone.

If the box is in a high traffic area, it may cause anxiety, which can lead to accidents.

If your cat is being litter box trained for the first time, be patient with him. Accidents are bound to happen occasionally at first, but if you keep up the positive reinforcement, litter box usage will soon become second nature. This cat-shaped litter box cover takes your enclosure from functional to adorable! While the directions are clear, this project requires experience with tools like a jigsaw and precise measuring and cutting. It’s best for a person with some previous DIY experience. The materials and tools list at the beginning of the directions isn’t complete because it doesn’t mention needing a drill or hammer (we put them on our list, though!) You can customize the size, roof, and paint color of this cover based on your preferences. You can hide a cat litter box by putting it in a quiet, less busy area of your home so it’s out of the way (just make sure your cat can find it). Disguise the box by using a litter box enclosure that doubles as a bench, cabinet, or tabletop.
