Best Sifting Litter Box: Our Overall Choice

You can place the sifting tray inside one of the standard trays and cover it with litter, then wait for your cats to use the box before lifting out the sifter to remove the waste. Place the sifter in the empty second box, pour the liter from the first box on top, and repeat. We found that many people do it this way, but the downside is that urine can leak down into the holes and grooves, clogging the sifter and making it harder to clean. Some cats like enclosed litter boxes and some don’t. If your cat has never used one or the other, it’s a good idea to find out what they prefer before deciding what type of sifting cat litter box to invest in. If you’re already working with an uncovered litter box, place the open-ended side of a box over the litter box and cut an entryway into it. You can use tape to secure the box to the litter pan to secure it. Reduce litter waste. When you use the sifting pan to gather clumps, clean cat litter will fall through so it can be reused. Compared to the other litter boxes on our list, the PetKit is eye-wateringly expensive. That said, it is very much the Rolls Royce of cat toilets! 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:Though this litter system may not be your typical sifting litter box, it performs a similar function in that liquid waste filters down through the pellets into a pee pad below. When the pad becomes saturated, you simply remove and discard it then replace it with a fresh one.

Some sifting litter boxes incorporate features you’d normally find in automatic or self-cleaning litter boxes. Some feature a lever you pull to automatically sift the litter and one sifting litter box even features a special rolling design that sifts the litter when you tilt the box on its side. The problem is, there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution. The best litter box for one cat might be the worst for another. If you hate nothing more than cleaning your cats’ litter box, take a look at the PitKit Pura X. It came top in ur search for the best self-cleaning litter box.

All cats are different. While some cats will be fine with a sifting litter box, others may prefer something simpler. It’s best to look for something that suits your cat's preferences when it comes to going to the bathroom. For instance, ask yourself if your cat prefers a covered, or open-top tray. You’ll also need to ensure the tray is large enough for your furry friend. What is a sifting cat litter pan tray? For starters, it’s well made, feels sturdy and comes in two sizes. The large is 50cm long x 38cm wide x 24cm high. The jumbo is 57cm long x 43cm wide x 27cm high. Not only is this litter box easy to use, but it does a great job of controlling litter box odor and litter scatter. It even keeps used litter contained in a removable waste compartment for easy disposal. The benefit of this litter box over other automatic litter boxes is that it doesn’t use any electricity and it will keep working as long as you need it to. Scooping, cleaning and replacing the litter is surprisingly easy. The lid of the litter box folds out of the way giving you plenty of room to work.

Choosing the right litter box for your cat is important if you want them to use it reliably. Especially when you’re litter training a new cat or kitten. Automatic litter boxes are often covered and have a lever to sift the litter or allow you to roll the entire box. Automatic boxes can be great, but they will often increase your workload too. These large boxes will be harder to clean and will require disassembly. The trapped odors are nice for your home, but they may create an uncomfortable outhouse environment for your cat that can be dangerous, especially if you use a litter containing fragrance. Another problem with automatic sifting boxes is that the sifting mechanism often takes up a lot of space, making it more cramped for your cat. Liners 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. First, at 64.6cm tall, 53.2cm deep and 50.4cm wide, it’s pretty big! It looks fantastic, but you’ll need space for it.Beyond kitty comfort, another advantage of a hood is that it can cut down on dust and odor. Ease of Use and Cleaning/Maintenance Both methods may seem similar, but they are very different. The manufacturer usually recommends the first method and it has you leave the sifting pan in the litter while your cat uses it. In our experience, the first method allows urine to get into the sifter slots, which will clog it as it clumps. Stopped and dirty holes make it less effective and increase the amount of cleaning you need to do. When you use the second method, the urine and feces have a chance to clump and dry before you attempt to sift out the litter, so there is much less mess with no clogging. The Omega Paw Roll’N Clean Cat Litter Box is a self-cleaning litter box, though not fully automatic. It features an internal grill that scoops clumped waste when you tilt the box on its side, depositing it in a pull-out waste collection tray. 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.
