While not the most important consideration, you may also want to think about the design of your litter box, especially if you plan to place it in a central area of your home. However, if yours has bad aim or tends to kick litter around, you may need an option with taller sides-or even a cover, which will save you the hassle of cleaning up litter and pee off the floor. In general, litter boxes with 5- to 7-inch sides are fine for most cats.

Similarly, you’ll want to consider the height of a litter box. Larger cats will need larger litter boxes-otherwise, they might be cramped and end up doing their business right outside the box. Not all cats are the same size, which means not all litter boxes should be, either.
