About Us

Litter Box Guide exists to remove the guesswork from one of the most overlooked parts of cat care. We combine feline behavior science with standardized, repeatable lab tests so you can build a calm, clean, cat‑approved litter setup that actually works in real homes—especially small apartments and multi‑cat spaces.

Mission Statement: We quantify odor, tracking, noise, and clean‑up time to recommend behavior‑first solutions that keep cats comfortable and homes neutral‑smelling, with less fuss and lower lifetime cost.

Our Brand Story: Litter Box Guide began in a cramped city apartment shared with two cats, a closet‑sized laundry room, and a revolving door of “promising” boxes that never delivered. We tried every shape, entry style, and litter type, only to trade one problem for another—odor would drop but tracking exploded; automation saved minutes but spooked a timid cat. Frustration turned into experimentation: VOC sensors for odor, decibel meters for noise, timed clean‑ups, and scatter/trackback measurement on different floors and mats. We learned that cat comfort and predictable routines—not hype—drive success. When we aligned behavior principles (right size, substrate, placement) with quantified results, harmony followed.

Today, we run those same tests for every major category—manual and automatic boxes, mats, enclosures, liners, deodorizers—then translate findings into practical “kit” builds like the Low‑Tracking Small‑Space Kit, Multi‑Cat Odor‑Control Kit, and Senior‑Friendly Access Kit. We publish clear scores and show our work so you can replicate improvements at home.

Our Team: We’re a small, specialist crew focused on the intersection of cat welfare and home practicality.

• Feline Behavior Specialist: Aligns recommendations with evidence‑based stress reduction and litter acceptance fundamentals.
• Mechanical/Electrical Tester: Designs the rigs that measure odor, noise, vibration, and tracking under controlled conditions.
• Veterinary Technician Advisor: Reviews guides for health red flags and humane, cat‑safe practices (we don’t replace your vet).
• Real‑Home Reviewers: Apartment dwellers, multi‑cat families, and senior‑cat guardians who validate lab findings in lived spaces.
• Data Analyst/Editor: Ensures scoring transparency, test repeatability, and clear, jargon‑free guidance.

Every article we publish aims for the same outcome: consistent, stress‑free box use by every cat—and a home you’re proud to invite people into.
