PetFusion BetterBox Large Cat Litter Box

Brand: PetFusion BetterBox

BetterBox is deliberately simple: one moulded piece of recyclable polypropylene with no seams, rounded inner corners and walls high enough to keep digging under control. Nothing snaps on, nothing wears out, and there is no crevice where clumps can weld themselves to a corner. The interior is smooth so a scoop slides along the bottom instead of catching on ribs, and the plastic keeps its colour instead of yellowing.

This is the pick for someone who tried an enclosed or automatic box, watched the cat refuse it, and now wants a large open pan that will survive years of bleach. It costs more than supermarket pans and offers no lid, filter or scoop, so odour control is entirely down to litter choice and daily scooping. Cats that pee standing up still need a shield or a corner placement.
