What a horrible overpriced idea!

I wonder how many cats get litter tray aversion after being taken out in it :shocked:
-
yuck :sick:
-
Yes, I saw those and thought, what a ridiculous idea!! don't see the point of it.
-
Euwww! Short answer would be no, I wouldn't! ;)
-
I'm sure the vet would be delighted to lift off the lid and find..... a litter tray :sick:
-
that would be just the job for Trigger, who treats his carrier as a litter tray every time he goes in it :sick:
-
i had been told bout these when i was in college and my tutor thought it was good idea (i did animal care) and i was just thinking how can you think it is a good idea??? i thought the whole point with carriers was leave them set up so cat could get comfortable being put in them rather than it seeming like your forcing them into the loo
-
Bet people buy these thinking what a great idea until their cat starts going to loo elsewhere in thehouse as they are too petrified to use the tray incase it means a trip to the vet and getting trapped inside it!
-
:-: errmmmm Definately NOT :sick:
Fifty quid as well !! :shocked:
-
Are you sure you dont want to go to the toliet? :evillaugh:
Hum I think it would be a good idea for cats that mess in their carrier on the way to the vets, but thats about it! I like the shape for a litter tray but wouldn't use it as both!
-
it wouldn't work for a cat like Trigger either though, as the mess he makes of himself and the carrier is because of blind panic, so he wouldn't be digging a nice little hole in the litter and burying it tidily :(
-
What a stupid, stupid product!
-
I can't quite get over the sales pitch that it "will look truly amazing in any home" :rofl:
-
What clown thought of that idea- not a cat owner thats for sure .
Stupid idea !
-
really daft and agree with mrs r
-
So you either have to empty out all the litter to use it as a carrier before going to the vet, or leave the litter in there and let the vet discover your nifty little carrier come tray :shocked: I like the look of it but as others have said, would use it as one or the other.
-
People do use it for shows I guess.
I wouldn't do it, though I transport my rabbits in a carrierbox, including newspaper and straw :)
-
Fo us the answer is well and truely no - we have some who will only use open litter trays, some who will only used covered trays and the we fight with most to get in a normal cat box or crush cage for their visit!!!!! ;)
-
Stupid idea, although I appreciate it would be cleaned out I suppose anyone can miss some sort of bacteria and I don't think it a good idea for an already sick cat to be travelling in a 'litter tray'.
-
My first thought is how much stress would that cause
-
I wonder how many cats get litter tray aversion after being taken out in it :shocked:
That was what I thought reading the title of the thread. What a ridiculous idea! especially when for £50 you could buy a covered tray AND a carrier!
-
hmm its a stupid idea, however my cat carrier and litter tray (i use a covered one) look very very similar (colours ect) the size is slightly different and obviously the tray has a flap not a gate.
My two have always used this tray even after vets trips ect and even though they dislike the carrier, but it is completley inappropriate to combine the two!! i mean carriers are typically used for vets trips.... ie after an op ect, arent litter trays COVERED in bacteria?
Im annoyed someone made a quick buck from such a stupid idea
-
My god! Who passed this as a good idea? :doh:
....mind you they do do free delivery....prob cant get rid of the bl :censored: dy thing! :rofl:
-
Why don't they have a detachable food dish inside while they are at it? - they can then eat and have a poo at the same time :evillaugh:
I think this has to go into room 101 along with the pet stroller buggy and the cat self grooming arch :evillaugh:
-
and the cat self grooming arch :evillaugh:
Have you ever tried that Mark?
I wonder if Cheese would like it because she loves rubbing her face on my hairbrush given half a chance :Luv2: I bet if I bought something especially for cats though she would not bother :innocent:
-
in my experience the box these latest inventions come in is far more useful, and appreciated by the cats, than the products they contain
-
I have to admit I have a pet pram :-[ :-[ :-[ made myself though and only to be used for shows and carrying 2 cats and all their gear
feel free to mock me, I mock myself
-
heheh can someone link me to this pram? would make it so much easier than carrying my cat box when i walk up to the park with dahlia (feel free to mock me too!)

I made mine with a pram (£5 at local carboot) and Mosquito Netting (£5 p/metre at garden centre)
-
In the email it said "created by a cat owner for cat owners" :shocked:
I can imagine what would happen to my lot if their toilet suddenly locked them in and off they went to the vet

No but I was mocking it in PAH yesterday. A woman was looking at a litter tray mat as a scratcher and asked for my opinion - little did she know what she was letting herself in for :evillaugh: - I pointed it out to her.
Alice rubs against the brush but I doubt she would use it. The woman couldn't work it out and said you would need a really fat cat to go through it :evillaugh:
-

I suppose we forget that the average cat owner isn't really clued up about them at all.

Wouldnt have got past the Dragons :evillaugh:

Don't know if this'll work, as I'm totally IT incompetent, but I got one of these to take my two boys on the trip to the vets. I don't have a car, and work full time so like to get their checkups over in one go, but find even on a ten minute walk to the local surgery it gets exhausting carrying two cats, whether in one carrier or two. This has been a godsend.
-
The stroller link worked so your not IT incompetant Kucinta ;D
For me the best carrier is a wire one, safe, strong and easy to scrub when little accidents occur :sick:
Il be watching pet planet to see how long it takes for them to be put on sale lol

I too made a kitten buggy as well and I even appeared on national tv with mine :Luv: it great convertation opener :wow:
I loved my buggy but sadly the wheel fell of I have to try and get another one as dont drive and it is handy for getting out and about. when my own computer is fixed I will post a picture of it :Luv2: I had mine so that I could take the carrier on and off to be scrubbed between litters :Luv2:
-
Like that Kucinta. :) Nessa, you appeared on TV - what was the programme called?
-
[: I had mine so that I could take the carrier on and off to be scrubbed between litters :Luv2:
That's what appealed to me about the one I bought, that the carrier could be lifted on and off the frame.
I do wish that makers like Atlas (as I had two of their carriers previously) would make separate stroller frames that you could buy and clip their standard carriers into as and when you needed them, whether for a walk to the vets or transporting round cat shows etc.
I would have thought it possible to design something that would let you stack at least two carriers together - despite the fact that two Singapuras would easily fit in one carrier, I've yet to master the knack of singlehandedly inserting cat number two into the carrier without cat number one using the opportunity to exit it...
-
that buggy Kucina posted is the one I was after but couldn't find them for sale! dang (mine is literally a converted pram and very cumbersome)
-
They had tons of buggies for sale at crufts this year in all shapes and sizes. I'll see if I can find out if some of those places have websites.

It was in Ireland and it was called cool for cats :Luv2: some of m orphans apeared on it as did the ones that made it and who were heading of to a better life.....I bawled my eyes out onthe show and they were genuine tears :Luv:
