Litter boxes come in different forms. From the plain plastic open litter boxes to the stylish automated litter boxes, each design will have its own advantages and disadvantages depending largely on the needs of your pet. Boxes with sharp edges or indentations in the bottom where pee can possibly pool are best avoided while those that have rounded corners and flat bottoms make scooping a lot easier.
A litter box that cleans itself is referred to as an automatic litter box. It doesn’t come cheap and requires premium type of litter for use. This requires electricity and uses rakes to scoop up the waste after the cat uses the box. It is recommended for cats over 6 months of age.
