Open vs Enclosed Cat Litter Boxes
As a new need for cats, cat toilet is indispensable!
 
Cat toilet is also called cat litter basin, which is divided into intelligent cat litter basin and non intelligent cat litter basin. This paper mainly describes the selection rules of cat litter basin from the perspective of non intelligent cat litter basin, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of various cat litter basins.
 
Non intelligent litter basin is divided into open type, semi closed type and fully closed type.
 
Researchers from the school of veterinary medicine of Ross University published a research report on cats' preference for litter pots in the Journal of feline surgery published in April 2013. This study shows that most cats do not have a specific preference for open or closed litter pots, so excrement shovelers can safely choose different types of litter pots.
 
1、 Open cat litter Basin
 
Open litter basin is the first litter basin selected by many excrement shovelers at the beginning. Generally, there are more in the cat cage. It has the following advantages:
 
First, the open litter basin design is more in line with the nature of cats living in the wild. The taste is easy to disperse and clean up.
 
Second, the open cat litter basin has low cost and the highest cost performance.
 
Third, the open litter basin is the most convenient for cats to use. When the kitten gets home, he doesn't have to hand it in or guide it. He will enter it directly.
 
Fourth, the open cat litter basin is very convenient to clean. Because it has no complex structure, it is easy to clean.
 
The disadvantages of open type are as follows:
 
First, the litter is easy to bring out of the litter basin. Because cats have the habit of burying sand, the litter is easy to stick to the cat's claws, and then bring out the litter basin.
 
Second, the open cat litter basin is easy to cause the room to be full of cat excrement smell, which requires regular window ventilation.
 
Third, it's easy for cats not to bury shit after they are familiar with the open environment. In this way, it is easier to aggravate the dirty gas in the air.
 

2、 Closed cat Basin
Cats are born with high vigilance. The closed litter basin can give cats a hidden space and let cats shit at ease. And cat litter is not easy to take out, so it is easier to keep clean.
 
The closed cat litter basin is divided into upper entry type and side entry type.
 
The top in type is also called a cat litter bucket. The advantage of the utility model is that it is relatively spacious, and there is no need to worry about taking the cat litter out of the cat litter bucket. You don't have to clean up the litter around the litter basin anymore. His disadvantage is that the frosted cover is inconvenient to open. Cat litter is spilled on the top of the bucket after being taken out by the cat. Some pores are small and difficult to fall. However, many products have been improved, and there is no longer the phenomenon that the scattered cat litter can not enter the bucket.
 
Side entry litter basin can be used by kittens without too much physical strength when cats go to the toilet.
 
The choice of the size of the litter basin has always been ignored by everyone. Many friends will say why my cat doesn't want to shit in the litter basin, so how to choose the litter basin and what to measure?
 
First of all, the length should be more than 1.5 times the length of the cat, which can facilitate the cat to turn easily in the litter basin.
 
Second, the height of the litter basin should be higher than the cat's length to avoid depression when the cat's head touches it when sitting and shit.
 
Therefore, when we choose the litter basin, we must be optimistic about its size, not the large or extra large size marked by the merchant. Be sure to look at its actual length and height, whether it is large or small.
