We love our cats. We really, really do.
But their stinky, soiled litter is not for the faint of heart. Scooping cat poop is a drag, and dealing with the odor and germs is no better. You can try to take the garbage out multiple times a day, but that's largely unrealistic, and simply adding the clumps to your kitchen trash will only spread the nauseating stink. And even if your nose adjusts to your home smelling like a giant litter box, guests are sure to notice.
Made by the creators of the infamous Diaper Genie, it lets cat owners scoop clumps directly into its sealed, odor-containing bin with a pull of its handle. Then, it seals away all the waste, germs and odor once you release its handle. Its seven-liter container is designed to hold up to two weeks of soiled litter for a single cat. (If you have multiple cats or want even more time in between garbage trips, the brand also offers an extra-large Litter Genie, which you can get from Amazon here.) Amazon reviewers can't stop gushing about how much easier this has made their lives.
I've been privy to the Litter Genie's hard work myself: I've used it a number of times while cat-sitting for friends. I found it intuitive to use, and it kept its surrounding environs smelling fresh.
For my own cat, I invested in the splurge-worthy Litter Robot, an automatically scooping litter box that has enabled me to not scoop a single bit of cat poop for months now. It has been a godsend — but it's over $600. While the Litter Robot has been worth every penny (and then some) on my end, it's more than understandable to balk at paying hundreds of dollars for a litter box. That's where the ingenious and thankfully affordable Litter Genie comes in. (You can read more of my ode to the Litter Robot here.)
The Litter Genie is compact enough to fit underneath cabinets and sinks, and it comes with a scooper, a scooper holder you can attach to the side of the pail and a refill liner bag. You can also grab a pack of refill bags from Amazon or Target. Plus, you can use the Genie for other pets, too: The brand recommends it for critters like rabbits, and multiple reviewers report using it for their dogs.
With over 8,000 5-star reviews on Amazon, the odor-containing Litter Genie is the real deal. Grab a Litter Genie from Amazon, Walmart or Target, or check out what Amazon reviewers have to say:
"This thing is awesome. I have one too many cats and I don't know how I lived without this before. The bags last quite a while and there is no smell whatsoever. I would recommend this to every single cat owner who doesn't already have one. Plus it's pretty cheap and I don't see how it won't last forever. It's amazing, trust me you need one." — Mal
"I ended up buying two of these, one for each litter box. Makes keeping litter boxes clean and easy. No more lugging trash bags around trying to clean litter boxes and spilling litter everywhere or worrying about the bag breaking. The litter once stored inside can't be smelled, I even use it for my chihuahuas poop if he poops inside - can't smell a thing. The bag system is very strong, never spilled, and contains the smell and litter awesomely. I can easily scoop or the litter every day and my kitty is very happy about that (I have some disabilities which make it difficult to do chores, so this lets me break it down into easy steps and keeps my house smelling fresh). It's a MUST. I also bought one for a friend with back problems - making his life easier as well. When it's full, the weight isn't too bad and you just tie a knot and put in the trash. So wonderful!" — Kitty Biscuits
"I bought 2 because I have cats at each end of my house. These genies are true genies! So easy to use and absolutely NO smell comes from it. If it takes 3 or 4 days to fill the bag, I don't smell any litter smell at all. Its easy to change bags as well as changing the refill bags. This has made my life so much easier!!!" — Goobersqueen
"All I can say is, WOW! My house has never been so fresh smelling! I am very pleased with this product. It is one of the few things that really works. We just moved into a brand new house and was concerned that it would begin to smell like a cat lived here. There is absolutely no smell coming from this pail. We have been using it for almost 2 weeks and I have not changed the bag once. I highly recommend this product!" — Susan C
"Pretty simple setup and best of all NO CAT PISS SMELL! Also saves on the use of plastic. This thing is a godsend for any cat owner." — Nicola123
"I thought it was kind of a stupid idea. My daughter urged me to try it. Best $20 bucks I ever spent for my cats. No walking to the toilet every time you empty the box. No worry about getting litter in the toilet. No smell! Easy to set up and easy to use. I took it in my RV for a trip across the country. Fantastic. I am buying another one for the 2nd litter box. This is genius." — Shelby Coleman
"I have used this litter storage and disposal system for 10+yrs now because it is easy to use, and you don't need to wear gloves of any kind because your hands never come in contact with any of the kitty waste material. Once you deposit waste material in the container there is no odor that escapes the container. Very easy to change the plastic bag that holds the kitty waste material as needed. In a short, this system is easy to use, neat, clean and sanitary." — Sam G.

Best overall What we likeOften, what a cat desires in a litter box is not the same thing that appeals to our human interests. I saw this firsthand as my two felines tested the best cat litter boxes for this guide. After speaking to Dr. Wailani Sung, a veterinarian and former director of behavior and welfare programs at the San Francisco SPCA Veterinary Hospital, and cat behavior consultant Daniel "DQ" Quagliozzi, I've learned that cats must have choices to feel secure.
For this reason, I selected the Frisco Extra-Large Hooded Cat Litter Box as the best litter box for cats. It can be altered to meet a cat's specific litter box needs and has a spacious 26-by-18-inch interior. It's also one of the more affordable enclosed litter boxes, ranging in price from $30 to $40. The box consists of two pieces: a high-sided pan and a hood with a charcoal filter that clips into the base. Its BPA-free plastic is durable and easy to clean.
A translucent plastic door can help prevent odors from escaping. If you have a sensitive cat that may be uncomfortable pushing through the door or distracted by its swinging once inside, the door can be removed. You can also remove the cover and use only the pan. –Shoshi Parks
Best self-cleaning on a budget What we likeOur experts say that self-cleaning litter boxes are not recommended for every cat and their caretaker. According to Dr. Leanne Lilly, a fear-free certified veterinarian and assistant professor of behavioral medicine at The Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center, the sound and movements of a self-cleaning litter box can frighten cats, and pet caretakers may miss the signs of intestinal or urinary problems. Still, if you're unable to clean your cat's litter box at least once daily, one of the best self-cleaning litter boxes can help. Of the 12 automatic litter boxes we collectively tested in two separate households, our cats preferred the one closely resembling a generously sized standard litter box: the Scoop Free Self-Cleaning Litter Box.
Although we tested the open design for this guide to the best cat litter boxes, the Scoop Free box is available in two additional covered variations: one with a front opening and another with a top opening that we recommend as one of the best top-entry litter boxes. Every box has a sensor rim and a built-in rake that sits on top of a 23-by-15.5-inch disposable litter tray. Sensors recognize when a cat enters the box, and 20 minutes after they've exited, the rake automatically pushes solid waste toward a covered compartment at the opposite end. A health counter keeps track of how often your pet enters the box.
Petsafe recommends using its proprietary crystal cat litter and disposable leak-proof litter trays ($70 for a bundle of three trays and cat litter). The litter is absorbent, drying, and produces minimal dust, but it easily tracks. According to the brand, the litter and tray should be replaced every two to three weeks. Alternatively, you can purchase a reusable tray and replace the litter as needed.
Just because the box is self-cleaning doesn't mean you're entirely off the hook. Dr. Mark Freeman, a veterinarian and assistant professor of community practice at Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, says litter boxes should be deep-cleaned with soap and water every few weeks. Additionally, the small compartment that collects waste may need emptying several times before it's time to change the litter tray. –Shoshi Parks, Janelle Leeson
Read our full review of the Petsafe Scoop Free Self-Cleaning Litter Box.
Best for odor control What we likeThe sturdy construction of the Catit Jumbo Hooded Pan's cover and door help prevent bad odors from escaping. A replaceable charcoal filter inserted in the hood adds an extra layer of odor protection. You'll want to use the box with its cover and door in place for the best odor control.
Even if this litter box didn't have solid odor control features, we'd still give it top ratings as one of the best cat litter boxes, thanks to its generous size (22.4 by 18.3 inches) and adjustable cover. It was a serious contender for the best overall pick, but it lost points due to its higher price tag (about $20 more).
Unfortunately, some cats will not be comfortable with the confined space and the door's movement. For more sensitive felines, you can remove the door or lift the front section of the cover to let a little light in while still containing some odor. The BPA-free plastic box cleans up easily with soap and water and is available in white or grey. –Shoshi Parks
Best top-entry Modkat XL Litter BoxThe modern Modkat XL Litter Box has top and front entries and a unique folding lid for easy cleaning.
What we likeMost cats require the athletic ability to enter a top-entry box, and once inside, a cat can only go in a spot that allows them to pop their head out of the entry. With a higher lid and entries at the top and front, Modkat's XL Litter Box is our No. 1 pick for the best top-entry litter boxes. It fits the needs of a wider variety of cats than other top-entry boxes.
Good-looking and well-designed, the Modkat XL is 21 inches long, 16 inches wide, and 17 inches tall and available in white, gray, or black. The top entrance is a generous 10.25 inches in diameter, and the front opening measures 8.5 inches wide by 9.75 inches tall. If you'd rather your cat not use the front entry, you can close the built-in sliding door.
The lid folds back for easy cleaning, and litter tracked onto the roof returns to the pan through perforations. The box also comes with two reusable plastic liners, which will last up to three months each, and a scoop.
While the front entry makes this litter box more accessible, aging cats and kittens may still struggle to access the door about 6 inches above the floor. However, my senior cat had no trouble and used this box frequently. Although he didn't use the top entry, he tracked no more litter out of this box than the others we tested.
The Modkat XL's one downside is its price, typically $180. –Shoshi Parks
Best automatic Whisker Litter-Robot 4The Litter-Robot 4 is well regarded for its ample size and impressive array of smart features.
What we likeThe fourth version of Litter-Robot is a reliable smart machine that self-cleans and notifies you when the waste drawer needs to be emptied or litter replaced. Insider Reviews senior reporter James Brains says his cats took to this automatic box after four days of encouragement and have used it exclusively ever since. Similarly, my cats also happily use the Litter-Robot boxes, including previous generations 2 and 3.
The Litter-Robot 4 takes over almost all of a pet parent's maintenance tasks and performs them well. It runs a cleaning cycle a few minutes after a cat leaves the box. Thanks to laser-light technology, the cylinder stops cycling if a cat enters while the cleaning cycle is running. The machine also weighs your cat every time they enter. It's one of 11 push notifications you can turn on or off.
The machine sifts waste into a lined tray that you'll need to empty every couple of weeks, depending on frequency of use. Brains says he received cleaning notifications before they seemed necessary and found that if he shook the drawer to distribute the waste more evenly, the sensor would reset. The "empty" cycle works well to remove all the litter when it needs replacing, but Brains still wipes down stuck-on debris inside and deep cleans the globe every one to three months. My Litter-Robot 4 sometimes cycles without a cat entering and weight monitoring is only accurate when the machine is placed on a hard floor instead of carpet. Nonetheless, we consider this self-cleaning litter box worthy of the investment.
With a circular entry 15.75 inches in diameter and a 22-by-27-inch exterior, this litter box is spacious enough for a multi-cat household. It also makes our list of recommendations for the largest litter boxes for cats. If your cat is small or has mobility issues, you can add an attachable step. The biggest downside is the Litter-Robot 4's high cost ($700), but it comes with a one-year warranty. If you or your cat aren't happy with the machine, you can also return it within 90 days for a refund. Return shipping will be deducted from your refund. –Shoshi Parks, Janelle Leeson
Read our full review of the Whisker Litter-Robot 4.
Best for large cats KittyGoHere Jumbo Litter BoxAt 28 by 22 inches, this spacious litter pan provides big cats plenty of room to stretch out. It is recommended by one of our experts and is suitable for cats of all ages and needs.
What we likeSimplicity and spaciousness are the first two factors Quagliozzi and Sung look for in a litter box. A litter box should be at least 1.5 times the length of a cat, but Sung says most traditional boxes are too small. The Kitty Go Here Jumbo Litter Pan is among the largest litter boxes at 28 by 22 inches.
At about $70, it is pricier than other traditional boxes. However, it's well worth the price for its size and functionality, according to certified cat behavior specialist Molly DeVoss. Measuring more than 1.5 times the length of a 17-inch cat, larger cats can comfortably stretch out and cover waste in this box. It has relatively high ramped sides to decrease litter scatter from the sides. However, you may want to pair this purchase with a litter mat to catch any stray litter that might tumble for the low entry.
The pan is made from durable plastic that is easy to clean and has an oversized rim for easy lifting. It comes in neutral gray. –Janelle Leeson, Shoshi Parks
Best for seniors and kittens What we likeCats with mobility issues, such as small kittens and seniors, might require a boost from stairs or a ramp to enter their box. Even better than ramps and stairs is a box with a low entry, according to DeVoss.
Shirley K's Senior Cat Litter Box features a low front entry of just 3.5 inches, allowing for easy and comfortable access. Its interior measures 25 by 25 inches and it has a 9-inch-tall rim for enthusiastic diggers. DeVoss says there's no such thing as too big of a litter box, making this low-entry box a great choice for itty-bitty kittens too.
The only downside of this box is that the low entryway limits the litter depth of litter to about 2 inches, but some cats prefer digging in a few inches. Like the similarly designed KittyGoHere Jumbo Litter Pan, we recommend pairing this box with a litter mat since litter can easily tumble from the low entryway. –Janelle Leeson
Best disposable What we likeWhether you're looking for a sturdy stand-alone box or a liner for a plastic box, the So Phresh Disposable Litter Box is a good, worry-free choice. The box is made of dense bagasse, a natural and sustainable fiber, with 4.3-inch-high sides.
At 16.7 by 12.6 inches, this box isn't as generously sized as our previous pick, the discontinued Nature's Miracle's Disposable Litter Box. It's also not leakproof, so you'll want to place it on a waterproof surface. The box's biggest flaw is that clumps stuck to the bottom or sides are a little harder to remove than in a smooth plastic box.
While the box is biodegradable, sending a pan to the landfill every month seems unnecessary when so many reusable options are available. Nevertheless, guardians who are ultra-fastidious about their litter boxes and those who need a reliable temporary box will find a decent solution in So Phresh Disposable Litter Box. –Shoshi Parks
Best DIY What we likeWhen it comes to creating a DIY litter box, a wide, flat plastic storage container is an ideal — and cost-effective — stand-in for a traditional box. In fact, Quagliozzi and Sung often recommend that their clients consider this DIY version since many traditional litter boxes are too small for more than one cat to use several times a day.
Sterilite's 41-Quart Storage Box is made from durable, clear plastic. It measures 35 by 17 inches, providing a cat with plenty of room to perform natural behaviors like digging and covering their waste. Because the box is waterproof, it won't leak any excess urine that goes uncaptured by litter. You can snap the included plastic lid on to move the box to a different location without spillage.
With 6-inch-high sides, this box is shallow enough for most cats to enter and exit easily. However, guardians with cats that aggressively scratch and kick their litter may need to do more floor cleanup than they would with a litter pan with higher sides. –Shoshi Parks
Best litter box furniture What we likeA litter box enclosure keeps unattractive pans out of sight while containing foul odors. This multipurpose furniture from Recaceik combines a traditional cabinet with a cat cubby, scratching posts, and perches. We named it the best cat litter box furniture because it has multiple viewpoints and a large entrance on each side, both of which our experts recommend. Holes across the back of the cabinet provide extra ventilation.
With an interior that's 27.16 inches wide and 18.11 inches deep, Recaceik's enclosure is large enough to fit most litter boxes. You can split the interior into two spaces with the included divider. Locking double doors across the front of the cabinet make it easy to access and clean the litter box.
This enclosure is made of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and is available in brown, black, white, and gray. You'll need to assemble it yourself, but reviewers say it's a fairly simple process. It weighs a little over 45 pounds. –Shoshi Parks
Best stainless steel What we likeThe durable stainless steel Frisco litter box offers a significant advantage over traditional plastic litter boxes — it's highly resistant to accumulating scratches. Scratches in a litter box can become breeding grounds for bacteria and unpleasant odors, no matter how diligently the box is cleaned.
"Once you see scratches on the bottom of the box, it is time to replace it," DeVoss says. Since they're prone to scratches, plastic boxes typically need replacing every six months. To combat this issue, DeVoss recommends stainless steel litter boxes that hold up to a cat's claws.
With an exterior that's 23.3 inches long and 15.5 inches wide, the pan provides plenty of space at an affordable price — about $60. The box has a nonskid base that ensures it stays securely in place, even during enthusiastic digging sessions or post-bathroom zoomies. However, it doesn't have a tapered entry, which may make it challenging for seniors and kittens to access the 6.1-inch-tall box. –Janelle Leeson
Best corner What we likeDon't dismiss your awkward corner space as a waste of space just yet. Designed to fit perfectly into unused corners with its triangular shape, the Kitangle corner litter box is ideal for discreet spots and tight spaces. This may be a preferred placement for some cats. "Some cats are very confident, and will use a litter box anywhere, while others are more insecure and prefer a litter box that is secluded," Freeman says.
The Kitangle box comes in a few styles, including top entry, front entry, and sloped front entry. Among these options, the front-entry box stands out for its simple design and more affordable price compared to the sloped front-entry option. Our experts don't recommend top-entry litter boxes for senior or mobility-impaired cats.
Made from durable polypropylene plastic, the Kitangle corner litter box has a leak-proof design and removable lid for easy scooping. Custom liners are available for purchase, but the brand says they're not necessary as long as you regularly deep clean your box with soap and water.
The box measures 17.75 inches in length, 25 inches in width, and 16.5 inches in height. It comes in black, gray, and white and weighs approximately 9 pounds. –Janelle Leeson
Best custom Omlet Maya Cat Litter BoxOmlet's custom litter boxes come in various entry styles and sizes, including designs with storage space.
What we likeFinding a box that fits your space and decor while meeting the needs of your cat can prove somewhat challenging. "Because each cat is an individual, they can have individual needs and preferences," says Freeman. "There is not a one-size-fits-all litter box setup."
Omlet offers pet parents the convenience of customization with just a few clicks on its website. This allows you to tailor a litter box to everyone's needs. The range of customization options includes the entry location, height of the box and/or cabinet, and door color — or no door at all.
Our ideal customization is Omlet's Enclosed Cat Litter Box with Storage. It's a 37-inch top-entry cabinet with storage and an anti-tracking platform that folds back when it's time to scoop. Each Omlet litter box comes with a reusable litter liner, a folding litter box scoop, and an activated carbon filter designed to absorb and trap offensive odors. –Janelle Leeson
What to look for in a cat litter boxThe best litter box for cats is spacious, easy for a cat to access and designed to fit their preferences, and simple for guardians to maintain.
Size: Sung explained that cats need a space at least 1.5 times their length to scratch at the litter and bury their waste. Many litter pans advertised as "large" or "jumbo" have far smaller dimensions than our top picks. You can determine whether a box is big enough by measuring the length of your cat from their nose to the base of their tail and comparing it to the dimensions of the box.
Accessibility: Not every cat is agile or motivated enough to jump up into a litter box. Make sure to consider your cat's mobility needs. Kittens, senior cats, and other cats with mobility limitations may need a box with a lower entry.
Design: Quagliozzi explained that cats prefer a box that doesn't distract them from their business or require them to contort their body into unnatural positions. Look for boxes that offer easy entry and allow a cat to stand flat on all four paws rather than curved or angled boxes. An open-topped litter pan is the most universally accepted by cats of all types. Some cats may be intimidated by hooded or covered litter boxes, especially if the top is low enough that the cat must crouch to do their business.
Ease of cleaning: In general, the more simple the design of a box, the easier it will be to clean. If having a cover over your litter pan makes you forget to scoop it daily, then a litter box without a hood is a more hygienic option. If you struggle to scoop your litter box daily, an automatic or smart litter box may be the best option. According to our experts, you'll also need to deep clean your litter boxes every four to six weeks.
Material: In this guide, we included both metal and plastic litter box options. Plastic litter boxes have a
