A cat's litter box is a designated area where cats can relieve themselves. It typically contains a layer of absorbent material, known as cat litter, which helps to control odors and absorb moisture. Litter boxes come in various sizes and styles, including covered and uncovered options, to suit different cat preferences and household needs. To maintain a clean litter box, it is important to scoop out waste daily and change the litter regularly. This helps keep the area hygienic for the cat and reduces unpleasant smells in the home. Proper placement of the litter box, away from food and water, is also essential for encouraging use.
