When preparing to bring home a new cat, you'll probably spend as long shopping around for the right pet supplies as you will picking out a name for the newest member of the family.

These functional pieces offer opportunity for personality to shine.

While not the most exciting supply, the right litter box can make life with a cat lower maintenance. Sure, many are an iteration of the same rectangular shape, but not all litter boxes are equal. The right product can reduce the amount of litter tracked into the living area, simply scooping and cleanup, and perhaps even look stylish enough to set out in a living area. Whether you're preparing to adopt a cat or upgrading the essentials, you're sure to find the best litter box among these 10 top-rated options.

Tall walls on three sides will keep litter (and spray) from flying in this budget-friendly litter box. This shield and its high-polished smooth finish promise easy cleanup for pet owners.

At 20 inches wide, 22.4 inches long, and 18.3 inches tall, this spacious litter box provides privacy to cats of all sizes when nature calls. It traps smells, too, thanks to a carbon-impregnated filter located in the hood (replacements sold separately). Your nose won’t know whether there’s one cat or a few in the house!

Between its modern oval shape and the variety of color combinations, this IRIS option hardly looks like a traditional litter box. It’s thoughtfully designed to keep litter out of sight and from being tracked out, while still allowing enough room for your cat to climb in through the large entrance and do his business.

This no-scoop option separates out clumped litter through, as the name suggests, its special rolling design. Simply turn this self-cleaning cat litter box on its rounded right side to sift litter through the built-in screen, and when you return it to upright, clumps will remain in the removable tray for owners to dispose. Meanwhile, this covered pan keeps mess and dust contained throughout the process and beyond.

AmazonBasics solves the challenge many cat owners face: where to squeeze in a litter box.The triangular design allows this litter box to back into any corner, while a hood with built-in charcoal filter catches litter and smells.

What looks like an ashy igloo could very well be the answer to pet messes (not to mention Whiskers’ privacy). Its corner-free design prevents litter from sticking to the walls, while grooved steps at the entrance/exit to this 21-inch dome catch litter before it’s tracked through the house. Plus, it the top of the removable lid, there’s even a charcoal filter to reduce odors.

The tall, flexible plastic walls are the stars on this liner-free litter box. Reaching up to 16 inches at their highest point, they help prevent overflow. But they can also squish together enough to fit this box into more narrow spaces as needed — say, under cabinets of between built-ins. Then, when you’re ready to refresh, grab by the handles to lift and pull the walls together into the perfect pour spout for emptying spent litter.

While a cat owner may hesitate to place a utilitarian litter box just about anywhere in the home, this disguise makes location much more flexible. The 9-inch square opening around the side of the faux clay pot can be turned out of sight, and the filtered vented system at the base of the greenery helps keep this hiding spot a secret.

Whether you’re traveling with your cat or keeping an eco-friendly home, try this disposable litter box made from recycled paper. Sold in a set of three, each pan lasts up to four weeks without leaks or tears assuming normal scooping. Fill this 100% biodegradable pan with newspaper pellets or the likes, and you can feel good that each pan will help reduce waste in landfills when the time comes.
