Product Information

It’s large enough to accommodate most cats. You can also choose to have it as a top entry only or a top and front entry. When we tested it, we found there were a couple of benefits to this; We’ve scoured the market for some of the most highly rated and popular sifting boxes and trays to suit every budget and need. With a little help from our own furry friends, we’ve assessed the market leaders, to bring you our list of some of the most reliable litter pans and box options. Let’s take a closer look. Best Sifting Litter Box: Our Overall Choice Not only is this litter box easy to use, but it does a great job of controlling litter box odor and litter scatter. It even keeps used litter contained in a removable waste compartment for easy disposal. Though this litter system may not be your typical sifting litter box, it performs a similar function in that liquid waste filters down through the pellets into a pee pad below. When the pad becomes saturated, you simply remove and discard it then replace it with a fresh one.

Though the litter is easy to keep clean with sifting boxes, you will still need to clean the several trays and other components it might contain. As a general rule, the simpler the system, the easier it is to clean, with one important exception. There are several brands of disposable sifting boxes that have a paper mache construction. You can’t clean these sifters, and they tend to collect waste as you use them, so we recommend avoiding them when possible. Covered Versus Open Sifting Litter Boxes This review focuses on just one kind of litter box: the self-sifting style. But there are several different styles you can choose from, and some may be better for you and your cat than others. The main advantage—indeed, sort of the whole point—of using a self-sifting litter box is that the soiled litter is easy to remove, and the clean litter is easy to separate and retain. Many cat owners who use sifting litter boxes also find that they can save some money on kitty litter, since the clean litter can be reused so easily and go a longer way.When it arrived, our test cat Nico was pretty inquisitive. That said, it did take him a while to get in and use it. We ended up having to take some of his used litter from their normal tray and put it in the PetKit to get him to recognise it as a toilet. We also kept his old litter tray next to it to avoid any accidents. Scooping clumps and throwing away dirty litter is a daily necessity, especially in a multi-cat household. In some households, it may even feel like a part-time job. It generally works by having at fewseparate compartments: one sifting pan with small holes in it,and one or two trays with a solid surface. The clean litter granules fall through the small holes intoone of the bottom trays, leaving behind the clumped waste in the sifting pan which you can easily discard. If you’re looking for a sifting litter box that does most of the heavy lifting, this is a great option. You simply tilt the box and let the internal sifting grill do the work for you. As great as the design of this litter box is, there are a few limitations. Unfortunately, sifting litterboxes have a significant downside. As you pour the litter through the sifting panel, it will create a large amount of dust that can escape into your home. Even low dust brands will create enough dust that we only recommend sifting the litter outdoors.

We’ve tested all kinds of cat litter to find the best, we’ve also tested litter bins, hidden litter boxes, litter mats, litter freshers and cat litter scoops over the years. This litter box comes in several different sizes to accommodate multi-cat households and it has a large entrance. It also features an integrated carbon filter to keep things fresh for your cat. Plus, there’s an easy-access maintenance door so you can monitor the litter level and add more as needed. What We Like: Reduce litter waste. When you use the sifting pan to gather clumps, clean cat litter will fall through so it can be reused. A good litter box is one that your cat is happy to use. The best litter boxes are also easy to clean. Now that we've covered the advantages and disadvantages, let's take a look at the different factors to consider when trying to find one that's a right fit for your household: SizeThe problem is, there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution. The best litter box for one cat might be the worst for another. Some cats like enclosed litter boxes and some don’t. If your cat has never used one or the other, it’s a good idea to find out what they prefer before deciding what type of sifting cat litter box to invest in. If you’re already working with an uncovered litter box, place the open-ended side of a box over the litter box and cut an entryway into it. You can use tape to secure the box to the litter pan to secure it. A sifting litter box can make your job infinitely easier when it comes to cleaning the litter box, but not all sifting litter boxes are created equal. There are many different options to choose from which makes your task tough, but we’ve reviewed some of the most popular models on the market to help you narrow down your choices.
