Hello-
I just started litterboxing this week. I have my rubber gloves,
slotted scoop and newspaper already.
My question is: what kind of litterboxing containers work best? The
ones that are completely covered are nice, but they seem like they
would be hard to hide.
Also, isn't there a problem with non-litterboxers finding them from
the smell?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I prefer to use Fresh Step as it keeps the smells down so as to avoid being too obvious. This is good for hiding from non-litterboxers but the fresh scent sometimes attacts wild critters who like to leave surprises for the next finder.
You also have to be aware that geo-splashers may mistake your box for one of theirs and you will have to dry out the contents of your box after a visit from one.
Some people will say that you shouldn't place a litterbox someplace where you can't maintain it but there are self-cleaning litterboxes that should take care of that problem.

ROTFLMAO!
Just make sure Tabby's been shooed out of the litterbox before you take
it out to hide it. Forget that step and you won't much like the
results, nor will the folks who find and open the litterbox a few
months from now......

We generally frown on 'litterboxing', but we're all big fans
of 'letterboxing', so if you're interested in that, you've come to
the right place! ;o)
> My question is: what kind of litterboxing containers work best?
Unless you live in an area completely devoid of letterboxes, I'd
suggest finding a few to see what they're like and how they're put
together before trying to create some boxes of your own. You'll
start developing a good sense about what makes a good box and good
places to hide them.
> Also, isn't there a problem with non-litterboxers finding them from

You letterboxes shouldn't be smelling at all. If you've been using a
container for food, it's probably a bad idea to turn it into a
letterbox for that very reason.
Farewell!
