Since there are precious few commercially available litter boxes that are of appropriate size we also offer the service of cutting and sanding the opening to our ideal litter boxes.
How do I get one???
If you are local just select the storage container that best fits into your space and bring it by Paws Whiskers and Claws. I provide the service of cutting and sanding the opening for a nominal fee of $15.
What should I look for when selecting a box of this type?
The box should be BIG, one and a half times the length of your cats body. It should be clear so they feel safe using it. The bottom should be completely smooth so that it can be scooped effectively.
How many should I have?
You should offer one more litter box LOCATION than the number of cats in your home. For example, if you have 3 cats, offer 4 separate litter box locations. If you have all 4 boxes in one room, to your cat, that is just one box!
*NOTE: all litter boxes should be replaced at least every 2 years. Use a Sharpie to date the bottom of your box as a reminder!
The Best Litter Box
This style of litter box provides the function of a hooded box without the hood. It is clear so that the cat can see who is approaching, but keeps the mess inside, making it easier maintenance for the humans! Most commercially available litter boxes are MUCH too small.
Cats do not eliminate in cave like environments. They are a species that is both predator and prey. Elimination is their most vulnerable moment and they must feel safe using their box or they will find another place to go that is safe!

I only offer the service of cutting and sanding the opening to these boxes. If you would like me to make you a litter box, simply drop your litter box off at Paws Whiskers and Claws, The Feline Hospital, and I will contact you when it is ready for pick up!
The Second Best Litter Box
This is the only hooded box we recommend here at Fundamentally Feline. It is clear so that the cat can see who is approaching, but keeps the mess inside, making it easier maintenance for the humans! Most commercially available litter boxes are MUCH too small. If you can't live without the hood, this is the best box to have!
