12 Best Cat Litter Boxes Of All-Time

We love our pets so much — but we don't necessarily love the mess they leave.

Having the right litter box can help keep odor and mess down in a big way, but choosing the right litter box can also save time and make life easier for both you and your kitty. It may mean the difference between immediate litter box training success and a life-long series of potty accidents,  as well as having a home that smells lovely and is receptive to your guests (or not!).

Here's some great litter boxes to look into.
