Sounds like I've been lucky to get my order and get the right thing with all pieces!

Tray has arrived.  I'd say they've been a bit out with the measurements.  I've got the tape measure out and it isn't 25cm high at the sides.  It's probably about 23.5 which might sound like splitting hairs but given I could really do with it being more than 25cm I'm a bit peeved.  Still, I'll give it a go as it is higher around the front than the existing one so it might just keep the litter contained.  The other dimensions are obviously refer to the outside of the tray, including rims etc. so the inside is a fair bit smaller than I was expecting.  I am a little disappointed with it tbh and am a bit reluctant to swap the bath sized tray they currently have, and are happy with, for this one.  But it's still a good sized tray so I think I will try it.  Besides, doing a return would probably be more trouble than it's worth.  I've put it in a cupboard for now and will get it out at the weekend to swap over.

It's also cream not beige but I was expecting that as I'd read in reviews it was more cream but I'm happy with that colour. 

sigh - started this post some time ago then Kito disconnected my wireless broadband.  I'm never having a laptop again.  cats and laptops is just not a good combination.

Had an email that it's being delivered by Hermes.  Never had anything by them before.  I've also ordered something else which is coming Hermes so could be a baptism by fire

Lupin is a sprayer over the back, i wish it was only litter as the problem!

I am grateful that it's only litter.  Hard to be grateful today when I got home from work and found the bathroom floor covered in litter but at least it was clean litter that's easily swept up.  I have a small dustpan and brush that I keep in the bathroom and it's never had all that much use but since Kito has been here it's been working overtime!

Hoping for no problems and a smooth delivery!  The latter is unlikely given that it's parcelforce but if I am out when it comes I am hoping to be able to arrange re-delivery to work.  I'm always hesitant to do that as I'm never sure where it will end up - will they get to the right building, will they go to the main reception so that I can go out for it or will it end up in the post room..... 

Not sure how a litter tray will be packaged.  Anyone bought a litter tray from pet planet?

Got one from zooplus. It came in a box big enough for 10

I've purchased this one

http://www.petplanet.co.uk/product.asp?dept_id=5933&pf_id=62182

Not feeling confident about the fact that parcelforce is the courier, or indeed about petplant themselves, and fear this may turn into a saga but let's hope not and that I get it delivered without too much drama.

It's about the right size and I'm not sure whether the sides will be high enough but I feel it's a good starting point as they shouldn't be too high to make it feel like an enclosed tray when they are used to open trays.  If Kito still kicks litter all over the place I may need to rethink.

I have this one and it is fab and a good price too. The box it comes in also makes a great toy that Callie & Monty still use. I took the flap off their one and have the door open.

Sorry it is hooded but the whole top does flip back if you wanted to open that up

I have ordered one of the XL Purrshire Anti bac trays cherry mentioned.  Ike is a kicker actually he is a scooper, as he gets out and drags the litter towards himself.

The second link that Cherry posted looks like the sort of thing I want but unfortunately seems to have been discontinued  :(  Don't suppose anyone knows of a similar one or somewhere else that is still selling it?  I think that is probably about the height I want around the back and sides - not so high that they can't see over the top and feel too enclosed.

I could make one - I have a large storage box in the bathroom cut down at the front because Jaffa used to pee standing up sometimes.  But I had to get someone else to do it so it's not a straight forward option.

£88 for a litter tray??  :Crazy: I sincerely hope that is a mistake, otherwise it must be lined with gold.

No I dont think so and with P&P it will be £100! Coming from the States and must be a real joker!

Hiya

Just a suggestion, but if you can't get what you're looking for, how about sitting your litter tray in a toy box with the front taken off and a puppy pad at the back and under neath the litter tray. A wee hacksaw would saw the front off a plastic box no bother. Easy wiped and high sided too.  ;D

If I knew of one big enough to take my giant tray and one that was 12 inches high I am all ears cos then I could put my carpet tiles down in kitchen without any problems!

Well I think 12 inches would be high enough but 14 better  :innocent:

I have 3 of the giant Van Ness high sided trays, but Ike still scoops some litter over the lower front.  The tray is sat on a mat so I just brush the excess up.

They really are great Gill. I bought ours when I adopted Lazarus, so it is about 7 years old. The base doesn't seem to get scratched as some do. I have some lower ones as Alice wouldn't have been able  to climb into the high-sided one easily. I plan to replace them all with the Van Ness ones. They are either listed as Giant or Jumbo size (it also comes in a smaller version they call large) They are USA made.

I haven't seen one, but apparently these are like a baby bath! http://cat-litter-trays.co.uk/Smartcat-Ultimate-Cat-Litter-Tray

Also available from Argos I have three of these a Elsa sends rivers of pee out backwards and we have several deep diggers, the top opens up so 2/3 of the tray is accessible from the top. Even if you leave the top off completely the back edge is 8 in high.

A FB friend found satisfaction from cutting a hole in a high sided plastic storage box and putting her normal litter tray inside the box, which cut down the amount of "scrapage" considerably

I have one of those. The high back stops the bad aimers peeing out the back :evillaugh: You still get litter over the front though. Astrophe and the Loon scratch forever and when they are done with the litter they start on the floor

High sided large litter tray?
« Reply #1 on: December 30, 2015, 11:15:02 AM »
Anyone know where I can buy a high sided, large litter tray?  By high sided I mean almost like a covered tray but without the top.  I don't want a covered tray for a variety of reasons but Kito kicks litter all over the place so I'd like one with sides as high as possible but so that they can still see out over the top.  It also needs to be large size (current ones are "jumbo"  ;)).  I may need to make one but would be easier to buy one.  Anyone seen anything like this?
