Cat litter boxes: hooded or open?

Background

Hooded boxes keep litter from scattering, contain smells and may offer privacy to cats that like to hide while they go. But odour can build up inside, and a single exit can feel confining, with some studies suggesting many cats prefer open boxes. Ultimately the right box is the one your cat actually uses happily.
