I would love an automatic litterbox, but I can't afford one so I continue to scoop. As far as litter brands go, my favorites are PreciousCat Ultra, which clumps VERY well and Odor Lockers, which has wood pulp centers covered in clay. The Odor Lockers is carried at Shaws and is good for the money. The Precious Cat is a little harder to find but they have it at most Petsmarts and it's not very expensive, but comes in a big bag so it's best if you have a plastic tub (I use one that came full of another cheap litter) to put the extra litter into so that you can keep it dry and from spreading all over the house when the bag rips.



My cat Bubba is pretty big, I think he's a Ragamuffin, and he has never had a problem with his covered litter boxes but he tends to stick his head out when he goes in! I think that regular boxes work just fine as long as you're willing to scoop everyday. I've found that the LitterLocker (which is like a diaper genie for cat poop) is very helpful because you just put the poop in there and you only have to empty it out like once every 1-2 weeks for one cat. Good luck!
