I know I spend far too much money on my cats but......

Fridaycat

....... even I wouldn't buy this!!!



This litter box is £109 on Zooplus :eek: Would you spend (or indeed have you spent) this amount of money on a litter tray?

The benefits of it over a normal tray as far as I can see is that the cat enters/exits at the top, so there is no tracking of the litter on the floor. I just bought one of these for each of my trays which does the same job :rotfl::



Thoughts??

I doubt my cats would want to have to jump into their litter tray through a hole in the top, it looks very odd! And certainly not worth over £100!!

Although having said that, I was surprised how quickly each of them happily learned to use the toilet when I got a litter kwitter thing a couple of years ago, it was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be.

I agree!

But what's a "litter kwitter"? Is this something I need to spend my hard(ish)-earned money on?

Train your cats to use an actual toilet...

Fridaycat – thanks for explaining how to use it, cos the picture confused me! I've actually just posted about the woes of litter tracking on another thread, but if your tray works, I may have to invest.

Otherwise I might try the litter kwitter as 4nnabella suggested, but I can't see my 12 year old changing the habit of a lifetime!

And no, much as a love my babies, there's no way I would spend that sort of money on a litter tray. My own toilet seat cost less!

The tray was around £10 and I find that it stops around 90% of tracking, so not all of it, but enough to justify the investment IMHO

There are other trays and mats available, and many are cheaper than this. I think some people have tried things like cheap car mats etc. But the thing I find with my trays are that they not only stop most of the tracking, but they also trap the litter, so you can empty it back into the tray, therefore reducing the amount of wasted litter as well

Wowsers! I had seen pictures of cats using human toilets before, but didn't realise this training thingy existed

I don't think it would work in my cat household as my two Bengals love water - they would end up spending more time playing with the toilet water than doing their business in it if I left the lid up :eek: (and, yes! I have even "trained" my DH to leave the lid down because of them :rotfl:)

i got one from wilkos for about a tenner i think that has a wide rim around to trap litter and found it to be better than the cheaper basic trays but they still manage to kick some out, purely to annoy i believe:o

Mine's a hooded litter tray but it still astounds me how they manage to get it all over the house!

Yes, I have two hooded trays downstairs and thought I could get away with a normal tray upstairs. Wrong. :rotfl:

Am going to invest in another one of these for the downstairs, and move the other hooded one upstairs (and still keep some of the unhooded ones out as well ):

If I spent a lot on a litter tray it would be one of these self cleaning ones: http://www.thelittermaid.co.uk/
