Cats and Birds information on net.

It's often said that cats are clean animals, and so they need to be. I can't speak for everyone's pet feline here, but if your tiger is anything like mine, then it spends half it's life pooping! Therefore we needed a good cat litter box and not just a conventional tray which are actually quite disgusting things to have around the house.

So just how can you determine what a 'good' cat litter box is? You might think that the more you spend the better the product, but that's not always the case as you can actually shell out for cosmetic designs, and I'm darned if I'd pay extra for a pretty cat toilet. No, the ole cat litter box has to be functional, practical, and easy to clean.

It's true that cat litter boxes have come a long way from what they use to be. Heck, I can remember when they resembled little more than paint trays. They were also quite shallow which meant the cat couldn’t cover its dirty deed over, thus making absorbency and odor control difficult. It's the latter, the odor, that's the gut wrenching problem here. Okay, so it's not pretty to look at, but have you ever woken up in the morning to the stink of feline feces? It doesn’t exactly kick start you stomach into breakfast mode.

With so many folks busy, busy, busy, these days, there seems little time to scoop out the poop on a regular basis which ads to the problem of smell. If this is you, then you need to choose from the new-age range of cat litter boxes that work well on odors. If you're really pushed for time, or just can't be bothered, there are also models around now that do the scooping for you automatically. Can you believe that!

For the second worse problem, which is seeing the cat go and then the fruits of its labor, there are cat litter boxes which are like little houses. This means that Tiddles can hide away and discretely do the business out of site. Therefore the best option is a cat litter box with walls and a roof, plus an automated scooping mechanism. All you're left to do is to pull out the draw periodically and neatly dispose of the waste. What could possibly be easier?

But before you jump online or dash down to the shops to buy one of these marvelous products, there's one very important thing you need to consider. Make sure the cat litter box is the right size for your pet. Big cat, small box, and you'll have problems getting Fur Balls to use it. And if he does, he'll probably come out covered in his own muck! Don't forget too, that a new litter box is an alien object, and your cuddly cat may not take to it right away. Therefore, put it in the same spot as his old loo, or if you want to relocate or it's a new family pet, then make sure you find a quiet corner, as cats will not be encouraged by noise and disturbance.

That's it, there is no more. Check out all the options on lavish loos for cats and you'll soon have an odor-free, easy maintenance, indoor toilet for the family feline.
