Get a Litter Robot with a Litter Hopper. Very expensive, but so worth it. One box for our three cats, and I only have to empty it once a week and add new litter to the hopper. It's so damn convenient.

I bought one of the extra large stainless steel ones on Amazon and I really like it - it was around 40 bucks, but zero smell and indestructible. Some cats don’t like them because of the metal but I’ve had no issues.

Let me suggest: most litter boxes are big plastic tubs, so instead of paying $30+ why not get one of those $6 storage tubs and cut a door in it. Wherever you choose. In the lid, so they jump down in it. In the side. In the front. Whatevers gonna suit you. Worked for my cat. He don't care.

Look, I’m so averse to spending money, but I have to second the worth of the Litter Robot because holy shit after using it a year I can’t go back, especially with more than one cat. Luckily my cats love it lol.

I know you have, uh, mixed feelings about Wirecutter, but I’m pretty sure it was one of their reviews that said cats tended not like the robot ones anyway. We have enough out of box issues here that, even w/4 cats, no way am I risking adding another aversion to the mix.

every litter box i've ever owned has been bought in a near-panic at whatever big-box pet store, i had no idea Big Litter had gotten so out of control

I have that model; I only have to change the bag every other week. It is such a convenience to have, and your cat will love it because they will always have clean litter. It also reduces the amount of litter you need to use.
