Cat Litter Boxes Buying Guide
Chances are, if you have a cat, or possibly a well-trained rabbit, you will need a litter box. 
There are different types and styles, depending on what you want, what you can handle, and what works best for your pet. Price ranges are entirely dependent on your specifics. The very basic models are inexpensive, the more expensive have a lot of bells and whistles (most notably, they can scoop themselves). For the cat owner who likes for things to go together, there are a lot of different cat litter boxes available in different materials and colours. Even the kitty's loo can be colour coordinated. And remember, don't get an overly large box unless you really want to clean the whole big thing.
Some Ideas
Remember that litter boxes are all about location location location! Make sure it is in a prime spot where:
- You can reach it.
- Your pet can reach it.
- It doesn't matter if it doesn't smell great.
- It is close to a receptacle for the litter, preferably a toilet.
- If you have hip/back/joint/muscle problems, make sure it's not too far of a stretch to reach. (I can't emphasise this enough)
- It can be easily removed for cleaning.
- It is private enough for shy pets. (Yes, that happens!)
- It is out of the way of any guests.
