I have to take the door off hooded tray for the tripod to be able to get in and out easily, but just have a bog-standard Pets at Home jobbie - the cover's more to stop me walking into the litter when walking around barefoot at night with the lights off to be honest!

As for litter tray liners - never used them, what I do do is chuck the local free paper at the bottom of the tray as I found it removed the whole "having to scrape stuck on litter off the bottom of the tray with only a carrier bag between your hand and it all" experience - and, with the quality of what's in our local free paper, it's a fair statement on the quality of the journalism in there. I also have a sign on the door at the moment warning any party election leaflets will be used for the same way as well - has reduced the barrage of political propaganda no end!

Trying to type with a cat determined to lie across your arms on the computer keyboard isn't easy.

The cat we were going to foster has sadly passed away. RIP little Timmy. So we're looking to rehome from a shelter now. Some things are never easy are they.

Wow, that is crazy! Looks nice though...

Re the liners, I wasn't planning on using these as liners per se, more as Mark suggested so I can use them to scoop out the, urm, solid leavings quickly. In my experience they tend to rip and tear when the kittys scratch about, so they're not ideal really. The lady gave me two full packs of liners, i rekon she found the same!

Milly's Mum, one of the cats we were hoping to foster has actually been taken, so waiting to hear from the pther one and fingers crossed we'll hear from them soon!

Good idea to foster isabella

good luck finding your first charge

It is extortionate, but cool and an extra place to sit. Think I'll get out the tools this weekend...

Note mad cat lady in shawl

(you would have to be to spend that much on a litter tray

)

tbh, I would rather know if there is something in the tray that needs dealing with. I would hate the idea of my cats having to step in their own mess. We certainly know if Alice has been

- I keep a supply of Wilkinsons medium food bags. They are really big so they are easy to use like a glove to pick solids up. I tie the bag and bin - done!

tray liners are often best avoided

I actually agree - they seem to make more mess rather than less!

Thanks for all the advice, it's been really appreciated!

I actually managed to get a cage, hooded litter tray, deep uncovered litter tray, tray liners and a few other bits and bobs from a lady on freecycle, who's cat had just passed away. She really is a wonderful woman and it solves the problem so easily.

now just to hear back from the few people who have golden oldies to foster and we'll see what happens!

That looks great but it actually looks quite small and I don't think many cats would like the steps.

I have this one. It's seriously big.

You have to remember that some cats dont like closed in litter trays, some will use them if door is taken off but every cat is different.

My misa is too big for a closed in tray also

No offence, Isabella, but that's the most bonkers thing I've set eyes on for a while.

I've seen these before and thought exactly the same - just making extra cleaning too for yourself too

I prefer open trays, simpler the better for me (and the cats

)

JackSpratt · « **Reply #5 on:** April 18, 2010, 16:26:33 PM »

Tescos extra have a standard type one on sale for around £8. I liked that too, but I'm not sure it would actually make much difference.

The Marchioro ones are good. PAH used to sell them but now sell the Clean "n" tidy one which is quite small but still OK. (also only £10)

This is the marchioro one. I always remove the flap and don't bother with the filters. I always bag the "solids" straight away. No filter in the world would disguise Alice's leavings

http://www.valupets.com/pets/litter-trays-and-cat-loos/katloo-bill-2t-*-anti-slip-feet-*-2-filters/20142.html

I bought my Marchioro ones in PAH and one of them is 5 years old and still going strong.

Cats Best OKO is great litter as it is clumping organic wood chips. I wouldn't use anything else.

No offence, Isabella, but that's the most bonkers thing I've set eyes on for a while. Look at those ickle stairs!

PAH usually do an adequate hooded tray.

Dawn F · « **Reply #2 on:** April 18, 2010, 12:15:43 PM »

I use the normal pets at home ones - to be honest if the tray is cleaned regularly it shouldn't smell

isabella · « **Reply #1 on:** April 18, 2010, 12:10:05 PM »

Hi everyone,

What hooded litter trays could you recommend? I would love one with odour filters.

I've seen this tray but how much??? It has got a cool little stairway to get into it that's apparently meant to reduce litter tracking but no idea if it works.
