Title: Small Un-Coverered trays!
Post by: LeighK on January 01, 2008, 08:38:03 AM
Having noticed Sarah's post entitled "Large Covered trays" I thought I should post this in defense of the equal rights of Small Un-covered trays so as not to hurt their feelings  ;D ;D

Cheers

Know what you mean about the floor!!  I've bought one of those old fashioned bex bissell carpet sweepers so I don't have to keep pluggin the vac in - only about £10 from Argos.  Dustpan and brush too hard on my poor back which I'm having physio on at mo.

Mrk, know I should probably go into rehoming to discuss this but just wanted to say once again sorry you didn't get the cat and I know what you mean about an audiance - I've been a first aider in previous jobs and people just ruddy crowd around you and take to notice of what you say - they think they are helping but theu aren't .Fingers crossed the lady will see it again.

Happy 2008

Too many cooks etc  :tired:

I wanted totell them off but thought it was pointless  - the next time, I go alone without "helpers"  :tired:

I have to laugh when I see people in pet shops buying teeny weeny litter trays.  They must either have midget cats or have forgotten that kittens grow up!

They're useful for bunnybums though, so they do have a genuine place in a 21st century society  :evillaugh:

Well, I actually have two of these; a white one for basic show use and a pastel blue one to go with my lovely blue satin-silk show drapes for Supreme and non-GCCF shows. You'd struggle to get anything bigger into a basic 2x2x2 pen anyways.

They're compact and fit for purpose on a day out to a show (Pearl rarely goes to the loo at shows but I have to provide a tray for her) but I wouldn't use them at home as she digs like a good 'un and Toby does ocean-sized wees and these trays just wouldn't cope with day to day use - or should that be abuse?  :evillaugh:

They only seem to be in the South (below the Thames) & South West - I assumed they were all over.

I don't Sarah and, more to the poiint, neither do my cats !  ;D

I simply thought that it would be more "PC" to allow Small Un-covered litter trays to have their say  ;D

For the record my cats use Extra-Large Un-covered litter trays from Pets at home, I do have a large covered one that I bought from a local pet shop which sits in the corner of the room functioning as a piece of abstract art which they've never been in the slightest bit interested in but I suppose that it's become positively "de riguer" for every home to have a piece of abstract modern scupture ;D

My cats use medium sized one's from PAH, the ones with a removable rim to supposedly stop over spill!  :tired:

I must admit, extra large trays are a mixed blessing!  I thought the massive one I bought at the Supreme would be the bees knees but I have to say it's a faff lifting it back and forth (suppose it's weight training without joining a gym) and it's awkward getting the lid off then back on again.  It's terribly unwieldy and is certainly a 'feature' of the living room!
