An open type of litter box is simply a tray with a layer of litter, allowing enough space for a cat to sit and do her business easily.
Advantages:
- It is somewhat inexpensive and fits a tight budget
- Easy to refill, disinfect, and clean since it does not have any barriers
- Let cats enter and come out easily which they prefer, allowing them to watch for predators as well while doing their business
Disadvantages:
- Some cats prefer doing their business undisclosed and would generally steer clear of an exposed litter box
- Requires frequent cleaning as it does not have a cover that could help control foul odor
- Cats might miss the entire litter box when looking for a comfortable position before doing their business
Persistent litter box issues should warrant an appointment with your veterinary hospital Rochester, NY to make sure that your pet’s behavior is not caused by an underlying health issue. Schedule an appointment today!
