Maine Coon Cat Litter Box Tips

A "yummy" looking Cat PooPoo Cake

What Size Cat Litter Box should you use for your Maine Coon Cat?

Because of the Maine Coon Cats’ long length and size, I suggest you to use the jumbo sized cat litter boxes or the large plastic storage containers.

Hooded cat litter boxes for Maine Coon cats are a cheaper solution than a cat litterbox furniture and do the job.
However, they stick out in a house or room and are as smelly as the open Cat Litter Box.

TIP: If your Maine Coon cat ends up missing the edge of the litter box container, then you should remove the hood from the cat litter box.

A prettier and less smelly litter box solution is Cat litter box furniture for your Maine Coon cat. The great thing about Cat Litter Box Furniture is, that any stink or dirt or litter from your cat stays inside of the cat litter box.

Cat litter box furniture looks like a square shaped, water proof and shut cat litter box, with a flap for the cats to come in and out of, only it is encased in a pretty looking wooden furniture piece.

Cat Litter box furnitures can vary from plaine and cheap wooden cat litter box closets to elegant cat litter box closets, designer cat litterbox furniture, handmade cat litter box closets with elegant decorations and even mahogony cat litter box closet furniture.

Just make sure you get the jumbo size cat litter box furniture that fits for your Maine Coon cat.

What’s more, you can use cat litter boxes as a low table to to put anything you want on top of them, like a vase, a potpuri, an incense water-fountain etc.

Where should you put the Cat Litter Box?

You can put a plain litter box in a quiet and well ventilated place such as the bathroom.
The plus of the bathroom, is that no one sees the square, ugly and smelly litter tray.
However, if you are using Cat Litter box furniture, then there is no need for that, since any room will do.

What kind of Litter is best to use for Kittens?

It is recommended to use clumping litter for your cat, since it’s easy to collect and remove, however you shouldn’t use clumping cat litter for your kittens!

Clumping litter for young kittens can cause blockages in their throats as well as digestive track and intestines, if swallowed. You never know what young ones are up to.

Clumping litter is not always safe for young kittens (as some kittens tend to eat everything) as they have a cement additive so we recommend not using clumping litter until you are sure the kittens are past the litter tasting stage.

Our cats luckily never ate the litter, but it’s best not to take any chances!
