Choosing the right kitty litter tray for the newest addition to your family is not as easy as it sounds. There are two simple options: the enclosed litter tray and the open one. Some people suggest that a closed tray might make your cat shy about going to the bathroom should it ever have to do so in public, and, on the other hand, can make your cat dislike it because s/he feels too enclosed.
So what is a good cat owner to do?! The safest bet would be to choose the open box and to place it in a specific room – such as your bathroom or other area that isn’t very open. Of course, this is entirely dependent on your specific cat because each animal has its own personality, and consequently their own likes or dislikes. If your kitty doesn’t like the open box, then you may have to either enclose it, or replace it with an enclosed variation. Most cats like the open box, so it is a safe bet to start out with.
Kitty litter itself is also an amazing item – you can even get sophisticated kitty litter with odor control that masks any unpleasant smells resonating from the litter tray! Normal kitty litter works fine, but always replace the litter often to make sure that it is safe and comfortable for your cat to use. Litter trays are a great idea – especially if you live in a flat or complex that doesn’t have a garden.
