    I'm thinking 3 bags of litter (as they def can't get more than 2 bags in a box) and then hopefully 1 bag with the food should be OK .....


    Not sure they will like litter mixed with food but hey - each to their own ;)

    On a serious note - I still split ONE bag between now 3 boxes (used to slit one bag between 2 boxes with 4 cats but now with 6 I need 3 trays so split one between 3) - that lasts 8-9 days.

    You REALLY put whole bag in each box?????

    Macius would have 90% of it on the floor in 5 minutes flat.. sighhh
  • Yup - I've just finished changing Mia's tray (I have to do them in separate weeks or the bin men won't take my bin!)

    I've put 1 full bag in and it doesn't even look that deep!

    I'll leave it a day or so and see how she does - think she'll be OK as she doesn't dig like he does ;)

    Archie was down to scratching the bottom with just one bag in his!


    How deep is yours?

    (off with tape measure now) .... Mia's disappeared - I bet she's upstairs 'christening' it! *sigh*

    so your base must be bigger as I get 3 inches in 3 trays with one bag split between the 3

    photo of tray? with something common next to it (toilet roll????) for comparison/perspective?

    How odd, I've just been told I'm no longer subscribed to this thread, despite viewing it earlier today. I assumed it had been deleted but have come on to the Pet board to find it's still well and truly alive!
  • OK give me a couple of mins!

    It's this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Catit-Jumbo-Hooded-Litter-Tray/dp/B0057XF6U4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1429980953&sr=8-1&keywords=catit+jumbo

    Mia has the lid on & Archie has it off now (won't fit between the wall / loo with the lid on)
