WFMW - Best Litter Box Combination Ever
June 20th, 2007 by Toni
Throughout the years we have owned cats off and on. The “off and on” is important because during every “off” time we gave all our kitty stuff away and purchased anew at the next “on.” And that is important to explain because I want to you understand that I have tried a LOT of litter boxes. … Well, not me personally … the cats have tried a lot … well, actually each cat only tried one but that’s not the point. The point is: I know about litter boxes. (I put the point in bold in case you got lost in all the rambling at the beginning.) I also know the two most important questions to ask yourself when purchase a new litter box. Is it easy to clean? Will the cat be able to kick/track litter everywhere? One hopes the answers will be “yes” and “no” in that order but only time will tell. Last week, I discovered for the first time ever a perfect “yes/no” combination. The Omega Paw Self Cleaning Litter Box is incredibly easy to clean (”self-cleaning” is a bit of a misnomer) and it’s completly enclosed except for the entrance so litter stays in. For the little bit of litter that gets tracked out, I added a simple, litter mat and voila! No more mess. All told I spent about $35 dollars on the solution which is quite a bit more than your standard litter box cost but I figure I’ll make up the difference in headache medicine.

This is my favorite litter box too. I’ve only tried a couple, but my MIL (who has used several) went home and purchased one after staying with us for a couple of days! One of the clips on mine broke, but the price is so low compaired to other slef cleaning litter boxes, I’ll use it until another clip breaks and replace it! BTW, the clip only broke after almost 2 years of use. This works for me too!
Great tip! I have kids to do the litter for me now, but I’m gonna remember this when they’re rebellious teenagers (not too far off!)
I’ll have to check this out - we coud use a new one for our cat.
We have so many cats that we don’t even use “litter boxes.” We use those plastic storage drawers that fit under your bed. We put the lid under it to catch the spills as the kitties hop out. That’s our version of industrial strength.
I totally agree! I recently bought this box for my two kitties. I love it so much I think I am going to add a second!
