We recently lost an elderly beloved family cat that was of regular size and needs. The standard size litter box that you can pick up at the big box stores fit her just fine.
So when Catty came to live with us, we went out and bought her the same standard litter box that we had used before...the biggest ones offered at the regular stores. Well, next to Catty, this thing looked small. Really small. Like.... "Can she turn around in that small?" So we went back out to the local special pet store to find a larger box, only to find..they don't carry a larger litter box. So what to do?
Catty is (like most cats) a very private feline when it comes to using the bathroom, but I happened to observe her doing her business one day, and was surprised at how squished up she was trying to fit into the regular litter box... she even got outside the box and took her paw to cover and bury the business left inside the box (thank you, Catty for such pristine bathroom manners under less than ideal conditions).
So to those of you who have bigger cat breeds... such as Catty or even bigger than that.... where do you get a bigger litter box and how big is the right size? Thanks!
