Litter Box Size Guide
Measure your cat, then measure inside the box.
Measuring
- Measure your cat from nose to base of tail.
- Multiply by 1.5 for the minimum box length.
- Check the inside floor of the box, not the outer rim.
- Check the side height: high enough to hold litter, with a low entry for older cats.
Special cases
- Kittens: low sides, about 3 inches or less at the entry.
- Senior or arthritic cats: very low entry, open box.
- Large breeds: extra-large boxes or storage tubs with a cut-out entry.
- Cats that spray: high sides or a high-backed box.
Browse extra-large litter boxes and open trays.
