Hi. What accessible or disability-friendly litter trays do you all use to look after your cats? I have 3 cats that produce a lot of “waste” and am struggling with the maintenance of their traditional litter trays. What options are out there?

    Self-cleaning litter trays are certainly sold but I haven't used one.

    I'd be interested to know if anyone uses them.

    🤔

    There Are automatic self cleaning litter trays, but they are very expensive. I assume even though they take away the cleaning, there is still an element of removing the old litter/mess. Maybe look at the reviews.

    I tried a self clean litter tray which you roll over and waste goes into container but harder to use in my mind.
    interested in suggestions too as I’ve tried loads

    We used to keep litter trays on utility worktop but they now on floor as one cat can no longer jump up

    I think having the right cat litter helps too. I use the world’s best cat litter as that can either be used as compost in the garden (not that I’ve used it that way). But can also be flushed down the toilet.

    I find the stainless steel litter trays are really good as they’re light and really easy to clean.

    One of my friends has had a self clean automatic litter trays, she said they’re quite heavy and you still have to get rid of the rest of the letter after a while

    When I had a cat, first I used a regular cat litter tray with clumping cat litter, then kept a grab stick especially for removing the set clumps. When I bought a new one, I got a lidded, so I could pick it up from the chair & then clean it out & lower it down again.

    I have 5 cats and a dog, who are very clean and do use the tray provided.

    1. Try using a liner under the litter which can be removed easily.
    2. 2. As said the correct little material is also a must. Mine like the clumping white stone which has a disenfectant built in. When they go the cats cover it and I just go behind and use a shovel with the slots in it which let the dry stuff through.shovel it into a disposable bag and top up whats left.
    3. if they wee alot tilt the tray up one end give it a shake scoop up the clumped stuf and dispose then top up a gain.
    4. if you clean it often they will always use the tray.
