Quick answer
For a large cat, choose a litter box that is at least 60 cm in diameter and tall enough for standing use. The Fussy Cat XXL 60cm Litter Box and The Tall Litter Box both offer stainless steel hygiene and generous sizing, but which one fits your cat depends on breed and space.
Why size and height matter for big cats
Large breeds like Maine Coons need a litter box that accommodates their full body length without crowding. A box that is too small can cause accidents, stress, or refusal to use it. Height is equally important: a high-sided litter box prevents urine from spraying over the edge, especially for cats that prefer to stand while eliminating.
Stainless steel construction adds durability and odor resistance compared to plastic, which can absorb smells over time. Both Fussy Cat boxes use premium stainless steel, making them a long-term investment.
Accessories that simplify setup
A litter mat catches tracked litter and keeps floors clean. A scoop is essential for daily maintenance. Some boxes come with these items included, saving you an extra purchase. The Tall Litter Box includes both a mat and scoop, while the XXL box does not—factor this into your decision if convenience matters.
How to choose: decision rules
- Measure your cat's length: Measure from nose to base of tail. The litter box diameter should be at least 1.5 times that length. For most large cats, 60 cm is the minimum.
- Check the side height: If your cat stands to pee, look for a tall or extra-tall box. The Tall Litter Box is built for standing users; the XXL box has lower sides but more floor space.
- Consider included accessories: If you want a ready-to-use kit, choose a box that comes with a mat and scoop. Otherwise, budget for buying them separately. The Tall Litter Box includes both a mat and a scoop, saving you time and money.
