Size ranges come from a published cat size guide, and individual cats vary. Box count follows the AAHA guideline.

A note for Persian owners

Long fur can carry litter out of the box, so a mat by the entrance helps.

Will a PetCraft box fit?

Our largest steel box is 24 inches, which suits cats up to 16 inches long. A bigger cat of this breed needs a larger box, such as a storage tote.
