Everything you need to know about cat litter trays for a clean home


Litter trays are an essential part of any cat’s care and ensure that your cat feels comfortable and safe in its daily life. Whether an open litter tray, a closed litter tray with a hood or a modern self-cleaning litter tray – the right choice depends on your cat’s habits, the space available and your requirements for hygiene and comfort.

The right litter tray for every cat

Cats are very clean animals and place great importance on a clean, easily accessible litter tray. A litter tray should be sufficiently large, stable and placed in a quiet spot. It is particularly important that your cat can enter the tray easily, turn around inside it and do its business undisturbed.

Open litter trays

Open litter trays are easily accessible and are popular with many cats. They are particularly suitable for kittens, older cats or sensitive animals that avoid enclosed spaces. They are also quick to clean and provide a good overview of the condition of the cat litter.

Enclosed cat litter trays

Enclosed litter trays with a hood offer more privacy and can help keep litter and odours better contained inside. Many models feature a swing door or an activated carbon filter. They are ideal for cat owners who value a more discreet appearance and greater cleanliness around the litter tray.

Cat litter trays with top entry

Litter trays with top entry are particularly practical if your cat likes to scratch a lot or carries litter out of the tray. The top entry often keeps the surrounding area cleaner. These models are particularly suitable for active, adult cats that can jump in and out with ease.

Self-cleaning cat litter trays

Self-cleaning cat litter trays offer a high level of convenience in everyday life. Depending on the model, clumps are automatically detected and transferred to a separate container. This saves time, reduces odours and ensures a consistently clean litter tray. Such models are ideal for multi-cat households or for anyone looking for a particularly hygienic solution.

Corner litter trays and space-saving models

Corner litter trays make particularly efficient use of the available space and fit well in bathrooms, utility rooms or quiet alcoves. Compact litter trays are also practical for smaller homes, but should still be large enough for your cat to feel comfortable.

Positioning and maintaining your cat litter tray correctly

The litter tray should be placed in a quiet, easily accessible spot, not directly next to feeding or sleeping areas. Remove clumps and soiled litter regularly and clean the tray thoroughly to ensure your cat uses it consistently. In multi-cat households, it is advisable to provide several litter trays.
