Product Information

Because it’s so easy to separate the dirty litter from the clean, there was much less waste. As a result, a bag of cat litter lasted longer. Let’s look at a few things you should consider before choosing your next sifting litter box. How Does A Sifting Litter Box Work? Solid waste is captured in the litter pellets in the top portion of the system and can easily be scooped away with the included scoop. These pellets are feline-friendly and designed to dehydrated solid waste to make it even easier to scoop. What We Like: When it arrived, our test cat Nico was pretty inquisitive. That said, it did take him a while to get in and use it. We ended up having to take some of his used litter from their normal tray and put it in the PetKit to get him to recognise it as a toilet. We also kept his old litter tray next to it to avoid any accidents. The lowered entrance made it easy for him to get in and out of and the high sides stopped him from peeing over the edge. Ximon’s owner would have a cleanup operation every time he went to the toilet but when we tested this litter box, all that stopped, saving her hours every month.

The weight sensors that activate the cycle only recognise a weight of 1.36kg and above. If you have a kitten wait until they’re older and heavier before investing.. Many sifting litter boxes feature a standard open pan design but not the Van Ness Sifting Enclosed Cat Litter Pan. This litter boxes features an enclosed design with a clear door and a sturdy carry handle. If you invest in a high-quality cat litter, scooping the box is fairly straightforward and you can reuse the clean litter for another few days at least. That being said, it’s not exactly one of the cleanest jobs on the planet and certainly not one of the most pleasant.Scooping clumps and throwing away dirty litter is a daily necessity, especially in a multi-cat household. In some households, it may even feel like a part-time job. Rather than having to scrape through litter with a shovel, you can simply remove the sifting section of the litter tray, and clear multiple pieces of waste at once. This makes it easier to keep your litter trays clean for your cats, which means happier kitties, and happier owners too. If you’re looking for a sifting litter box that does most of the heavy lifting, this is a great option. You simply tilt the box and let the internal sifting grill do the work for you. As great as the design of this litter box is, there are a few limitations.

To make your life a little easier, try using some of the following strategies when you're training your little companion on her litter box: Self-clumping litter is generally the best type for sifting litter boxes—otherwise, urine can just fall through into the bottom tray, which totally defeats the purpose. First and foremost, it should be used gently to avoid breaking the internal mechanism. Second, it seems to work best with high-quality clumping litter – inexpensive litter may make the box less effective.

For starters, it’s one of the cheapest litter boxes on our list. In fact, we also tested the Iris Ohyama hooded litter box which was more than double the price but we couldn’t see why. So, the cheaper Catit model gets our recommendation. Traditional litter pans simply keep the soiled and clean litter altogether. They may come with or without hoods, and like sifting pans also feature may different sizes. Traditional litter pans can accommodate virtually any type of litter, but just require that you look for and scoop out the waste with a scooper. Ease of use. No more fiddling around with your cat’s mess – just pour out the clumps and add some clean litter, if needed. The main advantage—indeed, sort of the whole point—of using a self-sifting litter box is that the soiled litter is easy to remove, and the clean litter is easy to separate and retain. Many cat owners who use sifting litter boxes also find that they can save some money on kitty litter, since the clean litter can be reused so easily and go a longer way.

We’ve tested all kinds of cat litter to find the best, we’ve also tested litter bins, hidden litter boxes, litter mats, litter freshers and cat litter scoops over the years.
