The best cat litter boxes with lids

By

When your cats are happy with their litter, they are cleaner, and you don’t have to clean up as often. For best results you should follow the n+1 formula, which basically means you need one more litter box than the number of cats in your household. If you have one cat, you need two litter boxes. If you have two cats, you need three litter boxes and so on. Set your home and furry friend up with these amazing options.

Make sure you find a litter box with the right size and depth. Your cat needs to be able to fit and have room to spare for stretching and enough sand for it to cover its droppings. Some cats love to kick the sand when they are done, and that is where the best litter box with lid comes incredibly handy. Prevent any messes and contain smells with our curated suggestions.

Your ultimate guide to celebrating Halloween with pets
Halloween isn't just for kids: Here's how to involve your furry friends

The sudden arrival of pumpkin-flavored drinks and snacks can only mean one thing — spooky season is here and the perfect time to start planning your family's Halloween festivities. But what about Fido and Fluffy? Don't worry: We're here to share a few of the best ways to spend Halloween with pets. From finding the perfect costume for your fur baby to baking your own dog treats, we've got ideas that will make celebrating All Hallows' Eve fun (and, most importantly, safe) for the entire family. 
How to keep your pets safe during Halloween?

There are a few things you need to think about when planning a pet-friendly Halloween.
Candy
You already know about chocolate, but other ingredients in candy might pose a threat as well. This includes xylitol, a sugar alternative that hurts dogs even in very small quantities. Some healthy festive snacks might go into the no pile as well, like grapes. But remember that pumpkin is great for pets in moderation. So if you want a fall treat for your buddy, stick to plain jack-o'-lantern.
Decorations
We've written extensively about the dangers of Christmas trees and other accoutrements, so it won't surprise you to learn that some Halloween decor can have the same issues. Ornaments, lights, and tinsel all can do damage to pets if digested or broken, especially cats or dogs who love to chew.
Noise
While this certainly won't end with your pooch or mouser in the emergency vet, you do want to keep things calm enough that your animals don't freak out every October 31. Some dogs might prefer to spend the evening in a crate, and some cats may prefer to hide in their favorite room. Others will love the thick of things and greet every eager kid. Knowing your pet's personality helps.

Why do cats hate closed doors?

When you go to the bathroom and shut the door, you might instantly hear the sounds of a cat positively shredding the outside (see also velcro dogs). It's not just that they want desperately to be near you, though. Cats have a unique perspective on their own space and a need to control it. After all, your house is theirs, too.
