Cat Litter and Litter Trays
Cat litter trays are required when your kitten or cat is unable to go outside when he wants to. When your kitten becomes older, the tray may become redundant however, it is preferable to encourage the cat to use it at night.
Kittens are very clean animals and a litter tray should be an early purchase. They usually learn how to use it quickly, however if your kitten seems reluctant to use it, make sure it is not too close to his food and it is cleaned regularly.
The tray should be in a private but accessible place and ensure you praise your kitten when they do use the tray – either with a small treat or some extra tender loving care.
What to look for when purchasing a litter tray and cat litter
- There are a wide range of trays but the two main types are plastic open ones or covered models with an entrance flap, aimed at minimising odour. At PetO, we carry the cat it range and Ferplast range in a variety of shapes and sizes
- They should be easy to clean and tough – they need to be able to withstand frequent washing and disinfecting
- Cat litter is designed to reduce odour and absorb urine. Make sure too that your cat is able to scrape it over any faeces deposited as some of can tend to clump together
- Silica based ,clay, wood and paper based litter is highly absorbent. It is not advised to use sawdust, woodshavings or newspapers
At PetO, we carry Breeders Choice cat litter, very well known amongst breeders and cat owners alike aswell as silica based Litta beds and Catsan crystals |
