litter boxes

Indoor feline toilets

Litter boxes are containers filled with absorbent material where indoor cats urinate and defecate.

The box holds granular litter—typically clay, clumping clay, or plant-based alternatives—that absorbs moisture and odor.

Owners scoop waste regularly and replace the litter periodically.

The cat won't use a dirty litter box.

Also called litter pans or cat boxes.
