Thread: Buying for my new kitten.

We bought several doughnut shaped beds from The Works bookshops which have been well used and washed many times. For about £6 each, they are excellent, and I'm sure similar ones are available online.

My cats have adapted very well to the large Catit covered litter trays with flaps we tried recently. I tend to leave the flap open, but they will still use the tray if the flap is down. The extra large ones are ample for Coonies and the lid keeps in the litter and the pong.

I bought several catbeds and I noticed that they are used the first days and thereafter my cats are lying again on the Sofa on Tables etc. But it is important to have a least one, maybe he will like it and some other places which are comfortable for a cat

Hi there. I opted for the large lidded Catit litter tray . Just wondered if you knew of a litter liner to fit these trays?

Hi. I have never been able to successfully use a line. Roark things it is a foreign enemy type of thing and spends half his life in the litter box digging it up, scratching it, trying to get it out. I have now given up on them and just wash the litter box properly and leave it out in the sun to dry each time I change the litter.

Hi there.Not sure if you've already decided on a brand of litter but after trying many different types, I found the best to be breeder celect. It is sold online and in pets at home.Its recycled paper pellets.Its best points are that its very absorbent and unlike the clumping types it seems to keep the pee away from the tray and so doesnt attack the plastic ( leaving it rough and dirty). Also.due to the big pellets theres minimal tracking and even if a few get kicked out their easy to.pick up. Theres also no dust, so no getting mucky paws. Even more importantly its flushable! So much easier.The only thing it doesnt do ( which I have not found one that does) is it doesnt hide poo smell, but I remove these quite quickly anyway and flush them. A 30kg bag costs £13 and lasts about 4 weeks with two cats. Hope this helps : )

No matter how deep I have the litter in their trays, they dig to the bottom to do their business. I think cat tray liners are just an additional unnecessary expense. Ultimately you will have to wash and disinfect the trays on a regular basis anyway.
