If you want to minimise odours and spillage while also giving your adult cat more privacy during toilet time, a covered tray could be more suitable. Most will enjoy the extra secrecy when doing their business, but some cats may be nervous about the enclosed space due to the fact that they only have one exit point if a threat appears.
This type of litter is convenient as it will clump into balls when it comes into contact with liquids, this makes it easy to scoop and can help to save money as it ensures you’re only scooping out dirty litter.
You should consider using a dust free litter if your cat has an enclosed litter tray as dust won’t be thrown into your cat’s face when they’re busy burying their business.
These litter types are great as they absorb liquids extremely fast and they’re generally quite cheap – they won’t eliminate smells though.
This is a popular option as it absorbs well and can help with odour control somewhat, however it is more expensive than other options.
These are good if you’re looking to absorb liquids and odours fast, but this type is one of the most expensive cat litter options.
It’s usually better to avoid this type as they can upset your cat’s sensitive nose and put them off using the tray altogether.
Expect accidents to happen
When litter training kittens and cats, expect accidents to happen! It may take a while for them to confidently use the tray, but if you’re patient and stick with it, it’ll soon happen. Never punish them for going elsewhere in the home, simply quickly clean it up and keep up with your cat toilet training.
