In earlier articles on this blog we’ve mentioned litter trays several times. The traditional kind of litter box was just an open tray filled with sand. Eventually more absorbent materials came into vogue, that not only soaked up the moisture but also much of the odour.
This was quite an advance over having a wad of old newspaper on a patch of linoleum, but even so for many cats this was not ideal. Some seem very concerned about their privacy, and therefore the location of the tray had to be chosen with care. Then came the enclosed litter box came into use. This is a box with a roof to it, and a cat flap entrance through which the sensitive feline can go, do what it has to do, and emerge with dignity intact.
For a range of litter trays and boxes take a look at our CatCarePlus.com CatStore.
