Measure the space have for the litter box, including the floor space and the height.

1.Frisco Multi-Function Covered Cat Litter Box- Jumbo

This is a very large covered litter box.

A litter scoop is included with a storage compartment. The compartment is also an ideal place to store a liner or replacement filter. Mention the word ‘storage’ and you’ve got me.

It is BPA free and also recyclable, a feature we are coming to see more often on plastic products. I think we are coming to see products that are recyclable or compostable and so on, as part of the decision making process now and this will continue.

2. Catit Jumbo Hooded Cat Litter Pan

Does your kitty fit in this box? The measurements are in the Specifications.

The back, of the lower part of the litter box, is taller than the front. This is to help prevent leakage from those kitties who insist on being high pee-ers.

It does have a hood as can be seen in the photo. The hood can be removed for easy cleaning. To detach the top half, slide the handles on the sides towards you.

There is also a handle on the hood for moving the box from one place to another. If the box is very full of litter it may be too heavy to lift easily.

The door opening is also a good size for large cats. The large door makes it possible to scoop the box without actually removing the door.

A long handled cat litter scoop will make this job easier. The door is also clear and removable.

For those kitties who don’t like doors, the door can be removed however this is hardly necessary as the door can be flipped up to sit on top of the box. Note: The door can be stiff and doesn’t necessarily swing freely.

It has a carbon filter (you can see it on top of the box) to remove odors.

3. Booda Cleanstep Litter Dome

Everyone knows this litter box or at least recognizes the design. The Booda Litter Dome has long been regarded as one of the best covered litter boxes for cats.

Bear in mind that the steps to enter and exit the litterbox, do take up some of the litter space as can be seen in the image.

Without the stairs the size of the box is shaped liked a half moon and is 12 inches wide x 21 inches long.

Several reviewers indicate that it is a perfect size for their Maine Coons and also a Norwegian Forest Cat – both large cat breeds, others however have found it too small.

It may seem like a silly thing to do, measuring the cat, but it is a worthwhile exercise to make sure your cat will fit in the box comfortably.

This box has the added advantage of keeping most doggies out. Some small breeds may persist with finding a way in.

The stairway entry and exit means that litter is largely confined to the box, so a big plus from the litter cleaning patrol.

It does have liners however like any cat litter box, they do not need to be used if this is your preference. It has a charcoal filter to help with odor control and a built in handle.

This box is particularly good to help stop litter tracking.

Specifications

The litter box measures – 24 x 18 x 17 inches

5. Petmate Basic Hooded Cat Litter Pan

This covered litter box comes In two sizes, Large And Jumbo. The Jumbo measures 24 x 19 x 18.5 inches and is available in blue and silver or white and pink or white and blue. The Large also has the three color choices and measures 18.8 x 15.2 x 14 inches.

It has a lower front entry point of 5 inches, approximately, which is handy if your large cat is now a senior.

The door is an issue for some cats and not for others. It can be removed and replaced when the cat has adjusted to the box. It works well for litter containment although without the door there would be more litter spread.

Size wise, which is what we are looking at here, it works well. The back section is raised higher which is good for high pee-ers and yes there are a lot of high pee-ers around.

6. Van Ness Large Enclosed Cat Litter Box

If you are looking for something a little smaller than the Frisco litter box the measurements of this large size are smaller – 20.5″L x 19.5″W x 19.5″H

The litter box has a highly polished, non stick finish, is easy to clean and resistant to stains and odors.

The door flap is removable. Removing the door makes it easier for the cat to get in and out of the box however in households that also have a dog this may not be a good idea.

There is a zeolite filter on the top which is replaceable. It removes odors and freshens the air. The box has a highly polished finish which makes scooping easier as there are no rough surfaces for the scoop to catch on.

Advantages of Using A Covered Cat Litterbox

One of the main benefits of a covered litter box is that it helps to keep the litter in the box and off the floor.

The stop of litter spread can be a great help in homes with multiple cats, as it reduces the amount of time that you need to spend scooping and cleaning the cats litter boxes.

Covered litter boxes can help to reduce odor. By containing the litter and faeces within the confines of the covered litter box, there is less chance for odor to escape into the room.

Covered litter boxes also provide a sense of security for cats. Some cats feel more comfortable when they have a place to hide when they eliminate, and a covered box can provide this.

Some covered litter boxes even include features such as an enclosed air filter to help further control smells.

Covered litter boxes can be easier to keep clean than uncovered ones, as they trap debris inside.

Covered litter boxes offer a number of benefits that make them an attractive option for cat owners.
