No matter how you like it, if the cat does not want to use it, then it is useless.  It must be compatible with your chosen litter. It must be easy for you to clean.  It should be hard wearing, with proper visibility and ventilation.  Its size should accommodate the size of your pet.  For kittens roughly three inches in height, you would need a shallow potty while for adult cats more than six inches, you have to buy a deeper potty.Consider The DesignThere are five basic designs of cat potty.  Each design offers its own advantages and disadvantages.Basic Flat Box Types (some come with a rim).  This is the traditional cat latrine, a rectangular pan made of plastic.  It is the cheapest and is available in many depths and sizes.  It is easy to clean and is the preferred design of most cats.  An added rim will secure the box liners.Covered/Hooded Types.  These are traditional rectangular pans that include a hood for cover.  An opening is placed at one end for entrance and exit. The hood is usually made higher to adequately accommodate a cat whether it is sitting or standing.  The hood serves for privacy and for preventing litters to be pawed out of the box.  Some boxes have poor ventilation while other are affixed with ventilation.

These are designer potties that mask itself as a plant or as a furniture. The placing of a potty matters to a cat. It needs some quiet and private space to do its thing so you should place this in an area with less traffic.  Look for big, accommodating and well ventilated designs.  Sifting Box Types. The typical model has two rectangular pans with one sifter tray. One box is atop the other with the sifting pan placed inside the pan at the top.  You must pour the litter over the sifting tray. To clean it, you should remove the two pans; lift the tray to remove wastes.
