Title: Katpak: The disposable litter tray
Post by: Den on November 04, 2010, 17:05:51 PM
Was just on FB and saw this as one of the side adverts.

Never heard of it before. But y'all can make up your own minds as to what you think of this. Good? Bad?  :shocked: ?

Looks quite good but I'm sure a lot of cats will think it is a play tent  :evillaugh:

If I had a bit more money I'd probably go for it, not sure how you can leave it for 7 days with no scooping or anything though  :-: As we were discussing cats demanding their trays to be cleaned immediately, I think most wouldn't let it get to Day 7 unscooped and still be happy about it. I'd say it could be a good idea for rescues or someone with a lot of trays to do, but it wouldn't be cost effective. So all in all, bit undecided really!

I got these years ago when my neighbour was cat sitting - it is pretty much like putting a cat in a paper bag, another cat just has to jump on it - for you Den it would be alright don't leak or anything

I'm with Claire on this one - no scooping for a possible 7 days????  But I like the idea Dawn has for using them when other people are looking after your cat.  I used to look after 2 cats for a neighbour who now lives in Scotland and I loved sitting in the house with them and playing and cuddling etc. and feeding them but I hated the litter trays having to be emptied.

So.......... yes, no, yes, no, yes, no?????       I don't know  :evillaugh: :rofl:

I've seen these before, but can't see how you would leave it unscooped even 1 day never mind 7!  :shocked: And if you DID scoop what would be the point of having it anyway, you might just as well use an ordinary tray. The only difference is you'd have to wash an ordinary tray whereas you just throw the katpak tray away.

I like where they say how it is better for the environment - I don't think so! So its made of paper and will degrade - while plastic trays will take years to degrade - well if you use a plastic tray, chance are your'e not going to throw it away for years anway, but think how many of those katpak trays you'll be throwing away in a year! (well, how many I'd be throwing away anyway!)  :evillaugh:

Last thing I'd want to do would be to encourage my boys to pee in cardboard boxes!
