The Best Cat Litter Box Set Up - All About Litter Boxes

I just apologized to my cat for not having a bigger litter box!😾 Planning to make adjustments immediately to hopefully enhance her experience! So informative, thanks!

Our female cat started peeing around the house, even though she had access to the outside (and is spayed). Turned out all we had to do was remove the lid from the litter box and use another kind of litter!

Tell me why I don't own a cat and don't intend to own a cat, yet I watched this entire video 😂 I honestly just really appreciate the research and thoughtfulness you put into every pet you own. This just shows how much misinformation there is out there even with the more common pets like cats. Glad you're here to explain things and provide sources for people to learn!

Clumping litter is typically bentonite clay. This clay expands many times its dry state when exposed to liquid. So what do you think happens when your cat inhales the dust, and it is dusty, or licks the litter off that sticks to paws, and fur. It can possibly cause an intestinal blockage. It did occasionally lead to sneezing in my cats. And as it is mined from the earth, it has a negative environmental impact. I use pine pellets, fully biodegradable, and even recyclable in areas that put out compost recycling bins. I tried pushing my hand down hard in a clean litter box of pine pellets, and it didn't hurt at all. I get a 40 pound bag for under $8 at Tractor Supply. Urine turns the compressed pellets into sawdust, which can be sifted out, and it is this sawdust that I recycle. Also as the pellets are biodegradable, I can just scoop, and flush the poop. My cats are indoor cats not fed raw food, so toxoplasmosis is not a concern to me.

This is one of the most detailed videos I’ve seen about litter boxes, honestly it’s just amazing. Thank you so much for all this info.

Best 30 minutes spent learning about cat litter! I got a bigger tray, a litter champ, and walnut clumping litter, and now almost look forward to regularly tidying the litter. (Almost...)

Today, I noticed our new kitty scratching at the inside of her covered litter box. I decided it was too small for her (she's grown and gained two pounds in the last 2 months) and went looking for videos on best litter boxes. I watched two, and then came upon your video. Thank you so much! this is great information! I will get her a much larger, open box.

Thank you for such a detailed video. I found the answer to our cat scratching excessively on the sides of her kitty litter. Our current set up is her kitty litter box inside a large container like you have. It worked brilliantly keeping litters inside it. I will try removing the kitty litter box and dump it into the big outer box and hopefully that will stop the excessive scratching.

I love this! I'm almost there. I HATE those covered boxes..too small but also covered means out of sight out of mind so we don't clean them like we should! I will get bigger boxes now. I do have 'big cat' boxes but will go bigger. Thanks!

You are by far the BEST instructor I have come across. A dedicated cat lover can tell how much work and observations you have made. Personally, I had not paid that much of attention to such so called details. Yet, despite the fact that my house seems too small now to host 22 cats indoors, I can visualize all my errors, which my cats in their grandeur, FORGAVE me although THEY could kick ME out of the house and not vice versa as the common practice is. Thank you for your precious assistance, indeed dum spiro spero, you taught me many interesting and good things to apply to make them feel more happy and comfortable. Ziggie, Marathon-Greece

I didn't know a lid was a big no no... was literally just about to fork out 50 quid on one. Thanking you kindly!

Thank you SOOO much for posting this video, I am actually learning so much about litter boxes and I've had my boy for 6 years now. The litter box I am using for him is big enough for him, but I think it might be time for an upgrade soon. Summer time my cat seems to prefer going outdoors, and I'm now starting to think and question the reason for it. It's a closed in box, it doesn't have the flappy door that it came with, but maybe thats why. I'll try taking the lid off and see how it goes. Thanks for your knowledge.

Thanks so much for this video. I have watched at least 7 videos on this subject and yours exceeds them all. I rearranged my cat room and will get a taller and longer box this week.

Wow! This is the BEST litter box video I’ve watched (and I’ve been watching a lot!). I’ve never heard about putting a cat tree next to the box. I’m off to purchase some new items for my kitties. 🐱🥰

this was so informative and helpful Haley, thank you for putting the effort to making this video! 🤩 I really love your editing! 💕 your hair looks so cool tied up like that and you look very professional in this outfit too! 😻

What a great video! We have five cats - two very large, very long, cats and three medium sized cats. We have several GIANT plastic tubs that we use as litter boxes and several "large" stainless steel boxes. The stainless steel ones are big enough for our smaller cats, but not for our big boys. Despite this, all of them prefer the smaller boxes! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Doesn't matter where in the house they are, everyone prefers one specific box, followed by the other small ones, and finally the big ones are only used occasionally. Weirdos lol

This is THE most informative litter box video on YouTube. Thank you.

This is the most informative video regarding this topic I've ever came across! Thank you so much for all that information! 😻

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for this video! This is so informative and we have four kitties and our toy poodle is visiting the "litter box buffet" when they use the boxes and the large totes will keep her out of them! Yay! Also, we have two super large cats over 34" long and they will love a much bigger box to get into :). I love the cat length with tail explaination for litter box size. This upgrade will also make their bedroom more neat and tidy. We have smaller litter mats like your extra large ones outside of three of their boxes and still have a lot of litter scatter but I will be investing in the extra large litter mats for their room. This makes me so happy to find a relatively inexpensive upgrade that will make them purr with excitement :).

I really like grass seed litter. It keeps clean for a lot longer than clay litter so it lasts longer and needs to be cleaned less frequently plus it does not create dust. I am totally sold on grass seed litter.
