Cat Litter Box Furniture
and
Covered Cat Litter Boxes
Cat litter box furniture is a luxurious cover for a cat litter tray or pan. What could be more perfect than a hidden feline litter box - a disguise for the generally unsightly litter tray. It's stylish cat care! Generally a cat would prefer to relieve itself in a private spot outdoors. A cat's natural instinct is the dig a whole, deposit feces and urine and then cover it up. Cats that live indoors or in apartments are obviously not able to do this. Cat litter box furniture is a perfect alternative. Not only does it provide your cat with all the privacy that it deserves and needs, but these covers also hide an unsightly tray. Cat litter box furniture also contains the odors and mess
which is generally associated with cat litter trays.
A covered cat litter box is often the first choice of cat box. These units are also called domed or hooded litter boxes.
These litter boxes provide privacy for your cat and traps unwanted odors inside. Some domed units include a carbon-impregnated cartridge which assists in eliminating the odors.
Before purchasing a Covered Cat Litter Box (aka hooded or domed) or cat litter box furniture, give the following some thought: - Some cats appear to suffer from claustrophobia and refuse to use any covered or hooded cat litter box
- The entrance door to the cat box needs to be large enough to accommodate your cat's size ....kittens grow!
- The interior space needs to be large enough to allow a cat enough room to turn around when covering their waste
- In terms of hygiene. Is the cover removable or easy to access - you will need to change the litter and clean and disinfect the unit daily.
Hooded Cat Litter Boxes are available in a Variety of Designs, Shapes, Sizes and Colors: - Plastic Pan with optional hood
- Designer hooded units
- Privacy tents that fit over any cat tray or self-cleaning cat box
- Wooden or wicker cabinets called cat box furniture
