Tips for choosing

Before you decide on one of the litter options for your cat, evaluate the litter trays based on the following criteria:

1. Product material . Make sure the toilet is made of durable plastic. During operation, the material should not be damaged by the claws of an animal or turn over under its weight. It is also desirable that the plastic be environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic and odorless.
2. Dimensions. It is critical that the litter box is the right size for your cat. It should fit comfortably in it and not bend the container during use. For a closed litter box, match its height and width to the size of the cat. She shouldn't be cramped. Choose small trays for kittens only on the condition that you will later replace it with a larger one. And, of course, the dimensions of the toilet must match your living conditions.
3. Weight. The lightweight model is convenient for owners, but is not always suitable for comfortable use by cats. Before purchasing, make sure that the animal cannot turn over the open tray and move the closed house from its place.
4. Design. If the choice is between open and closed type, then the first one is better suited for kittens or for simultaneous use by several pets.
5. Ease of cleaning. Open models usually clean quickly and easily. But closed toilets need to be assessed for the ability to access hard-to-reach places and the difficulty of disassembly and maintenance in general.

Toilet house for cats PetSafe ScoopFree Ultra

The toilet itself collects solid waste into a special compartment. Fecal collection time can be set at intervals of 5, 10 or 20 minutes after bowel movement. The toilet comes with a special filler that absorbs odors many times more strongly. The model is equipped with a special sensor that will count how many times the cat has gone to the toilet per day. The cleaning itself will need to be carried out no more than once a month.

Pros:

1. Comfortable and stylish design;
2. Programmable tray cleaning by time;
3. There are cat presence sensors.

Minuses:

1. High price.

Types of trays

Traditional (ordinary) tray

This model of cat litter is a standard plastic tray with low sides, usually a laconic rectangular shape with straight or slightly rounded corners; corner (triangular) types of litter are less common. The absence of a grid implies the mandatory use of filler. We talked about how to choose the right type of filler in this article.

Advice! Place a rubberized mat under the tray, this will make the tray more stable and the fallen filler granules will not spread too far.

Open tray with grid

A traditional toilet with a plastic grid-limiter fixed directly above the tray capacity. This design allows you to keep your cat's paws clean, but requires frequent and quick cleaning. A good option for those who do not want to buy litter, however, the cat must also approve of this solution to its needs.

Advice! Take a tray made of thick plastic so that the grid does not press under the weight of the animal, otherwise the cat will soak its paws in its feces. Try to lightly press the grate with your hand and estimate the distance to the bottom of the tray (the optimal value is at least 2 cm).

Please note that this model of cat litter makes it difficult to clean up solid feces, as they can dry out between the grid cells.

Tray with sides

Included with the standard plastic tray (with or without a grid) is an additional high side, secured with clips along the edges. This tray is suitable for those owners whose pets often miss the low sides of the toilet and stain the walls, for cats of large breeds and those who like to dig around and scatter litter around the area adjacent to the tray.

If a grate is included in the package, the toilet can be used without filler. If there is no grate, then the most convenient solution is to purchase garbage bags or film and cover the bottom tray with it, press the edges with the sides and at the end add the usual filler. Even a child can clean such a tray; you just need to carefully remove the film with all the contents and lay a new one.

Closed tray house

A type of litter box that will make cats feel protected. It has an aesthetic appearance and can be placed in any room of the apartment, as it holds unpleasant odors inside well. This option is perfect for those who do not want to keep the toilet door constantly open for the cat to access the litter box.

When purchasing, be sure to pay attention to how easily the upper part of the house can be detached from the lower tray. After all, such a house will have to be cleaned as often as open models. The bag-at-the-bottom tip works here too.

These litter boxes come standard with a door, which not all cats accept and use the tray as a personal bed and sleep inside. In such cases, we recommend simply removing the door while they adapt to the new litter box. Alas, such a decision will affect the spread of odor in the room where the toilet is located.

Try showing your pet how the door works several times, especially if you are going to accustom your kitten to a closed type of tray. By the way, we have a detailed guide on how to train a kitten and a cat over 6 months old to use a litter box.

This type of toilet also includes cabinet trays, but they are usually made to order. Caring for such toilets is a little more difficult due to the characteristics of the materials used and design solutions.

Dry toilet for cats

The biotrough is a subtype of closed toilets with the difference that special carbon filters are built into the design of the trough, which perfectly absorb any odors, and a shovel. A replacement filter plate lasts for 5-7 months of use. It is advisable to place a special antibacterial napkin at the bottom of the tray, which will prevent bacteria from multiplying inside the toilet. Such a tray will allow you to change the filling less often, but it is better to remove solid feces immediately.

The cost of such a biological toilet is higher than a closed toilet house, for which you will receive protection from cat odor in the apartment and a drawer for the filler; all other advantages and disadvantages are similar to those described above.
