My buns is a high-top cat litter box, with a big pile of hay stacked in front of the "entrance." I like that it is large and a rectangular so the hay can be inside the box and the bun doesn't have to reach for a bowl or rack. I am not a fan of the corner litter boxes like that is because I do not think they have enough space for them to move around, even the large ones. I am very confused by this photo, why is there a plastic bag in her enclosure? Would depend on how often they'd remain outside once let out, environmental factors etc. I imagine their life span would be about the same as an indoor only cat, but not really sure. I don't really know how often he'd let them out, but he definitely didn't have a litter box and there were never any accidents. Basically the cats are always inside, then he lets them out to take care of their business from time to time. I had a friend who always had semi-indoor cats and that's worked out well for him. If all of that fails, you can always spray a little of this to make it go away in-between box changes.īut even with all that I can see how the litter box thing might be a deal breaker for some people. Just need to put the box in a corner somewhere that you won't see, and if you throw in a little of this each time you replace the crystals box it'll make it even less likely that you'll be able to smell it. The crystals are really good at concealing odor. As for the box of poo thing, it's really not that bad. Outside cats usually have a shorter lifespan. So all in all its actually affordable if you can commit to it. I'd go with an adult cat for your first so you don't have to deal with the kitten phase plus usually they are already housebroken. Litter box: top entry Top entry causes the cat not to make a mess using the litter (when it kicks it up) It's also as healthy as it gets, so you save money in the long run vs friskies or something. I recommend this because it has very little grain which is why the cat doesn't have to eat much. Note: you shouldn't let your cat gorge, it will get fat and poop alot so regulating it will make poop duty easier and save you money on litter and food. This will last 2 months according to food regulation. Trust me on that plus you can flush it and it won't go bad over time like others.įood: Evo cat food $35 for 15 lbs at local pet shop. Price of owning kitten: $60 to buy includes all shotsįlushable litter: $34 for 32 lbs at local shop last for 4 months (called worlds best litter: ) This is the best litter you can get. Of course, my cat prefers to poop in a bed of pine needles in the yard, because he's a cat and can't appreciate nice things. I just really love this thing so much, I tell everyone. I had two 12lb cats using it regularly with no problems. So if your cat is prone to kicking up a lot of litter it might not work well for you. The thing they gave with to make a higher wall doesn't stay in place at all so I just leave it off. Then when I run out of litter in the tub I consider that it's time to clean out the whole thing (3 months or so). I personally buy a tub of litter from Sams and it works perfectly, keep the tub by the litter box and refill it as needed. Quick clumping litter doesn't provide strong enough clumps, they just kind of break apart on the upward conveyer belt. You have to use the right kind of litter. The round bowl part rotates very slowly 24/7, sifting any clumps to the conveyer belt part, which carries it to the dump tray. I've never used any other kind of electric litter box so I don't know how it compares to them, but this one is so simple in it's design. (and I also place dryer sheets between each bag to pretend it gives a bit of air-freshner magic, lol). I even line multiple grocery bags in the tray so I can just pull out one and go. Now my cat always has clean litter, and I can dump out the tray once a week. I had to replace the lower motor a few months ago because I didn't realize litter dust was getting into the gears and stripped them, but it was still under warranty and now I realize to check it now and then to clear that out. It was that price just a few weeks ago so I guess it varies (it's $100 with prime currently). I got it last year while it was on sale for $80. I personally have THIS electric litter box and LOVE IT.
