Is a Disposable Cat Litter Box Right For Your Home?

     Many people find that rather than owning a cat litter box that is more or less meant to be a permanent solution, the concept of a disposable cat litter box works much better for them. If you are curious about the disposable type of litter box, here are some facts about this cat hygiene solution that may interest you.

One of the most appealing things about a disposable solution to the litter box question is that you can actually make your own instead of having to buy one. Essentially, you need a box that is deep, long, and wide enough for your cat to be able to use effectively. You also want the bottom of the box to be reinforced, which is something you can easily do by adding another layer or two of cardboard. The walls should be high enough to contain the cat litter when your pet scratches around, but also low enough that your cat does not see the walls as an impediment to using the box. Boxes that either are already the right size of that can be cut down to the proper dimensions can easily be picked up for free from many different sources.

Of course, you can purchase a commercially produced disposable cat litter box as well. These will usually come as part of a kit, containing cat litter and a scooper to help you keep the box clean until you are ready to get rid of it and replace it with a new disposable litter box. While these commercial models do tend to be somewhat expensive over the long haul, they also are time savers, as you do not have to clean out the box or spend time washing the box itself. From that perspective, the cost may be worth it to you.

Whether you purchase a kit or decide to come up with your own unique litter box from scratch, a disposable cat litter box is a great solution for many people. If you think it might work well in your home, then visit a local pet shop and purchase a commercial model. Use it for a week or so and see what you think. You may also want to make one yourself and allow your cat to try it for one cycle. When it is all said and done, you may find that your pet, who after all has discriminating tastes, may prefer the disposable solution to the more permanent litter box.
