Similarly, the walls don’t hold all of the litter back when you’re dumping, so it’s more difficult to direct the flow of litter out of a corner without some spilling over. Many litter manufacturers recommend filling around a 5cm depth of litter, although this can be individually adapted.The extra space in the So Phresh box is great for cats who need more room to maneuver, but it also makes the box heavier to lift when it’s full.

If having a cover over your litter pan makes you forget to clean it daily, for example, a litter box without a hood is a more hygienic option.If your litter box is going to be out in the open, especially if you live in a small space, it may be worth getting one that’s a little nicer to look at.
