Size Guide — Will My Cat Fit?
Two sizes. Here is how to choose.
The most common reason someone returns a litter cabinet is that they guessed. Two minutes with a tape measure prevents it.
Step 1 — Measure the litter box you already own
You are keeping your current box; the cabinet goes around it. Measure the box at its widest and deepest external points, and its height at the tallest wall.
Step 2 — Weigh or estimate your cat
Cats need room to turn around fully inside the box. A cat that cannot turn will start going beside it instead.
Step 3 — Match to a size
| Standard | Large | |
|---|---|---|
| Exterior | 24" H × 23.6" W × 19.7" D | 27.6" H × 31.5" W × 21.7" D |
| Best for cats | Up to about 12 lbs | Over 12 lbs, or long-bodied breeds |
| Breeds | Domestic shorthair, Siamese, Russian Blue, most rescues | Maine Coon, Ragdoll, Norwegian Forest, Bengal, Savannah |
| Litter box type | Standard open pan | Jumbo pan, high-sided pan |
| Number of cats | One | One large, or a shared box for two smaller cats |
| Price | $179 | $199 |
When in doubt, size up
A cat has never complained about too much room. The $20 difference is far cheaper than a return.
How many boxes do I need?
The widely used guideline among vets and shelters is one box per cat, plus one. Two cats in a small apartment usually do fine with one Large cabinet in the main room and a second plain box somewhere out of the way.
Where should it go?
- Put it where the old box was. Changing the enclosure and the location at the same time is the single most common reason a cat refuses.
- Away from food and water. Cats will not eat next to their bathroom.
- Not in a dead-end. Cats want an escape route; leave the side opening facing into the room.
- Not next to a noisy appliance. A washer or furnace kicking on mid-use can put a cat off the spot for weeks.
