Make your cat’s litter corner easier to use and maintain. Explore litter boxes and stations alongside a litter mat and scoop for everyday cleanup.
Cat Litter Boxes & Stations for a Cleaner, Calmer Corner
The litter corner says a lot about a home, whether we like it or not. A well-chosen cat litter box keeps smells contained, keeps litter off your floors, and keeps your cat genuinely comfortable using it. This collection brings together covered litter boxes, enclosed litter stations, a grippy litter mat and a scoop, so setting up (or upgrading) your cat's corner takes the guesswork out of it.
Open, Covered or Top-Entry? Choosing a Litter Box Style
Open trays suit cats who dislike enclosed spaces and want a full view around them while they go. Many cats, especially older ones or first-time litter users, prefer this simplicity. Covered boxes, like the OdourShield Litter Box, trap smell more effectively and give shy cats privacy. Litter stations go a step further, with a front or top entry that hides the tray almost entirely, such as the Luxe Litter Station, which adds a filter compartment for extra odour control, or the Nekopod Litter Station, a top-entry design that also helps cut down on tracked litter.
If you're unsure which your cat will prefer, start with an open or covered box; you can always introduce a station later once you know their habits.
How to Choose the Right Litter Box
1. Size the box to your cat, not the other way round
A litter box should be about one and a half times your cat's length from nose to tail, giving them room to turn, dig and squat without feeling cramped. Kittens can start smaller, but most adult cats do best in a large cat litter box rather than a compact one, and multi-cat homes generally need one box per cat, plus one extra.
2. Think about entry and exit
Older cats or those with joint stiffness need a low, easy-to-step-over entrance. Kittens and agile adult cats can manage a top-entry litter box just fine, and this style is particularly good at keeping litter inside the box rather than scattered around it.
3. Prioritise odour control
A removable tray, a wide scooping door and smooth interior walls all make daily cleaning quicker. Pair any box with a proper cat litter scoop and place a cat litter mat, like the Leo Litter Mat, underneath to catch stray granules before they spread across the floor.

5. Consider your cat's personality
Nervous or easily startled cats often prefer open trays they can watch the room from. Private, particular cats may settle better in a fully enclosed litter den, such as the Aurora Litter Den, which offers a roomy, odour-free interior behind a swing door.
Keeping the Corner Fresh
Scoop daily, wash the tray fully every one to two weeks, and place the box in a quiet, well-ventilated spot away from food and water. A clean litter corner is one of the simplest ways to prevent litter-avoidance problems before they start.
Why This Corner Deserves a Little Extra Thought
Of everything in a cat's home, the litter box is the one item most likely to be judged unfairly on looks and ignored on function, and that's usually where things go wrong. We've picked this range around the two things that actually decide whether a cat uses their box happily: whether it genuinely controls odour, and whether cleaning it stays quick enough that it actually gets done. A beautiful box nobody wants to clean helps no one, least of all your cat.
