Buying a litter tray: large, open and suitable for everyday use
When it comes to litter trays, it's not just about whether they look good in the home. Space, freedom of movement, access and cleanliness are crucial for the cat. A litter tray that is too small or too narrow can make the cat reluctant to go in or spread the litter more.
At ARTGERECHT. you will find litter trays that are deliberately designed for simple, functional use. Open models in particular, with sufficient space and a raised rim, are more comfortable for many cats than cramped toilet cubicles.
What makes a good litter box
Enough space for turning and scraping
Cats want to be able to choose their own place in the litter box, scratch and turn around. That's why a spacious format is often the better choice. Especially large cats, senior citizens or cats that urinate standing up benefit from more space and higher edges.
Open litter box instead of a tight hood
Hooded litter trays seem cleaner for people, but can be cramped for cats. An open litter box offers better visibility, more air and fewer trapped odors. Changing from a closed to an open model can improve acceptance.
Several cats, several toilets
In multi-cat households, a single toilet is often not enough. Several easily accessible locations reduce pressure and give each cat an alternative. This is often more important in everyday life than a particularly complicated toilet model.
Choose litter trays to suit your cat and household
ARTGERECHT. focuses on cat litter box products that work in everyday life and match the natural behavior of cats. You will also find Cat litter, shovels, spreading mats and Cleaning products for a clean toilet area.
Correctly placing and combining litter trays
A good litter tray is only really effective when Accessories for the litter tray, location and care are suitable. The toilet should be quiet, easily accessible and not directly next to food or water. If there are several cats, several toilets in different places are often more convenient than a single central place.
Matching cat sand, a sturdy litter scoop and a litter mat are useful additions to the litter tray. This keeps the toilet area cleaner, the cat has enough freedom of movement and you reduce litter, odor and cleaning effort in everyday life.
Frequently asked questions about litter trays
Which litter box is species-appropriate?
A species-appropriate litter tray is sufficiently large, easily accessible and gives the cat enough space to turn, dig and choose a spot. Many cats prefer open models because they have a better view and more air. It is also important that the litter tray remains clean and is in a quiet place.
How big should a litter box be?
The litter tray should be significantly longer than the cat itself and offer enough space for the cat to turn, dig and position itself comfortably. For large cats, senior citizens or cats that scratch very vigorously, it is worth having a particularly large model with sufficient rim height.
Is a litter tray with a high rim a good idea?
Yes, a litter tray with a high rim can be very useful because it Litter holds better in the toilet. This is particularly practical for cats that scratch vigorously or urinate standing up. At the same time, the entrance should not be too uncomfortable, especially for kittens, senior citizens or cats with limited mobility.
Open or closed litter box: which is better?
Many cats feel more comfortable in open toilets because they have more overview, air and escape options. Closed litter boxes can work, but not every cat likes them. If a cat avoids a hooded litter box or is restless when using it, an open, larger model may be the better solution.
How often should you clean a litter box?
Clumps and droppings should be removed daily so that the toilet remains attractive to the cat. The complete cleaning depends on the litter, usage and number of cats, but should be done regularly. If an odor develops or residue remains in the plastic, thorough cleaning is particularly important.
Does every cat need its own litter box?
In multi-cat households, it makes sense to offer several toilets. This reduces conflicts and each cat has an alternative. The rule of thumb is often: one toilet per cat plus one additional one. It is at least as important that the toilets are not all in the same cramped place.
How do I prevent litter in front of the litter box?
A high rim, a sufficiently large toilet and a suitable litter mat help to reduce litter being carried out. The direction of entry and the location can also make a difference. Litter cannot usually be avoided completely, but with the right accessories, the area remains much cleaner and easier to maintain.
