Cat Litter Boxes, Our Top Picks

Introducing the wildly popular Omega Paw self-cleaning litter box. With the fabulous reviews it gets, it is a true bargain, with a reasonable price tag. It uses a roll-away method, no electricity or filters.

For those who have considered an automatic litter box but have been discouraged by prices, this might be the perfect choice.

This unit recieves an average rating of 4.5 stars, based on 2,365 reviews and counting! That is a lot of reviews, and there are so many because this is a best seller in Amazon's Home & Garden department.

Amazon review comment:

"I would describe this cat box with words like- LOVE_LOVE- FUN- easy, ETC ETC.... We even tried the automatic cleaning ones and took them back. This cat box would be worth $100 in my opinion. I cant believe how easy it is to use, less then 10 seconds to cleans the litter box, no removing the lid. Throw away the scoops as you will never need it once you own this cat box. No smell, no bags, no mess.

Reviewer's Update: GOING ON 1 Year- I still love this cat box. I have encouraged at least 10 people to purchase one this year.

PS: Is this for really huge Maine Coon cats? Probably not. We've included it because not all Maine Coons are huge. And this box is so well-loved. Also, you will want more than one box in the house anyway.

2. Pureness Giant High Sides Cat Litter Pan, Assorted Colors

Our favorite litter box is almost identical to this one. Leo loves how big it is, and I love how deep it is. It has a nice smoothe bottom for easy scooping, too.

The only thing to watch out for is that it's not heavy. So if your cat likes to step on the rim, it will tip. We have some things propped around it.

With an average 5-star review, this simple box does the job.

Amazon review comment:

"With several very large cats, and I don't mean obese, I mean rescued tom cats and Siberian (think the size of a Maine Coon) size. BIG. These are wonderful. They allow the cats to move around freely, keep their rear ends IN the box, keep the litter IN the box, we have a few cats that throw litter when they're "digging to China" and allow them plenty of fresh air. We used to use the closed in boxes, but the cats hated how the urine smell got trapped and turned into the ammonia smell... These are super wide, super deep and the best litter boxes I've found in years! ... Loving them!!!"

3. Petmate 22040 Giant Litter Pan, Bleached Linen

This cat litter box receives rave reviews for it's size and quality. It boasts a 30 pound cat litter capacity! This big-boy was made with large and multiple-cat households in mind.

Amazon review comment:

"This box is so big that I bought a 40lb box of litter at the same time and I dumped the whole 40lbs of litter in the box and it was still several inches from the top of it. It is huge!

I bought one initially and all the cats loved it so much that I bought a second one. I had several small ones and they are now in the trash as they are no longer needed. Two of these with a daily cleaning works for 6 cats.

Another review comment:

"Yes, this litterbox is HUUUUUUUGE!!! ... I can't recommend this box enough for a house full of cats or for large cats who have a problem tucking themselves into regular size boxes.

4. Deluxe Hooded Litter Pan - Jumbo

For those who prefer a covered cat litter box, reviewers can't seem to find any fault with this Jumbo choice. A covered box can be the perfect solution for a cat who likes to dig and make a mess. This one receives a full 5 stars all around.

Amazon review comment:

"I read the user reviews that raved about this box, was skeptical but purchased anyway. I am so happy that I trusted the reviewers ... This one is jumbo as the description states, and he has plenty of room so I can keep the lid on and vacuum less. The size is great for a large cat or one that likes to kick a lot. It has made my life much easier (less time with the dustbuster) and he clearly prefers the extra room! Unbeattable bargain for any cat lover!

5. Lucky Champ Litter Pan, Taupe

This attractive model gets solid reviews. The entrance is sturdier for a cat who likes to step on, not over, the edge.

It's 9.5 inches high, 16.5 inches wide, and 25 inches long. So, it's large, not jumbo, but study and a good solid choice for many cats.

Amazon review comment:

"The Rag Doll is a very large cat so I was worried about it being large enough and it is. The inside is very slippery texture so it stays clean looking and is easy to clean. The powdery dust that comes off litter makes the sides look dirty on my other litter boxes, but not this one, it shines and looks clean all the time.

6. Boots & Barkley X Large Enclosed cat pan

Another top choice for a covered style. These Van Ness cat litter boxes are known for their quality. This one features an extra-large size, of course, as well as a (removeable) odor door and a Zeolite Filter hood to help control odors.

Amazon review comment:

"This Extra Giant litter box is fantastic. .... I use one litter box and this is the one. The box dimensions are high enough for our largest cat (22 lbs tabby -- just a really big boy and very long) and our littlest girl (8 lbs). I have always removed the plastic swing door as I have found this to be more of an annoyance for the cats and me (the scooper). The enclosed design of this tall box really lends itself to less tracking and more comfort for all different sizes of cats. It isn't so high that a smaller cat (or even a kitten) can't hop into the box.

The Van Ness liners makes for easy litter box changes and I recommend them as an adjunct product. This box is also very durable and will last years with cleaning and care.

We've included a variety of cat litter boxes, to suit the needs of every household. There are large, extra large and jumbo selections. If you have a Maine Coon kitten, you'll soon find him outgrowing a standard size litter box!

You'll want one box per cat, plus one extra. Many cats don't like to share cat litter boxes. The mats are extra handy at keeping the litter "contained", especially if you are using natural cat litter.

Cat litter boxes are no one's favorite chore, but hopefully this selection will get you on your way to making it as tidy and painless as possible!
