The most popular type of cat litter box is one with no cover. Or, as we call it, the open litter box. The lack of a barrier makes it more accessible to your feline friend since it doesn’t have to wiggle to get in the box. It’s also cheaper than the fancier-looking ones, which is perfect if you want multiple litter boxes in different areas of your house.
The easy access also applies to pet owners because cleaning an exposed litter box means you can reach all the parts and not miss a spot. The replenishing of litter is also straightforward. It’s just like pouring water into a container with a wide opening.
A disadvantage is if your cat prefers a more hidden spot for defecating. You can probably put the litter box behind a plant or something, but it’s not a guarantee. If your cat does not cover its feces for some reason, the odor will quickly spread because there’s no cover to contain it.
Persistent litter box issues should warrant an appointment with your animal hospital Salem, VA to make sure that your pet’s behavior is not caused by an underlying health issue.
