The covered litter box: privacy for your cat, cleanliness for you

Spreading odours, litter kicked out of the tray, a cat that likes its privacy… a covered litter box answers all of that. Here's how to choose the right one.

Covered box or open tray?

A covered box holds odours, litter and scatter better, and reassures shy cats. Some cats, though, prefer the open space of an uncovered tray: watch its preferences before investing.

How do you avoid odours in a covered box?

Choose a model with a carbon filter, clean the flap and tray regularly, and pair it with an absorbent litter. A poorly maintained covered box concentrates odours rather than masking them.

The AnimalParadise expert tip: leave the door or lid open for the first few days: a cat adopts a covered box more easily if it can first enter without feeling trapped.
