Look how much space is needed for a really good dig before elimination. This is the space we want. This is the space we choose when we have the option of going out of doors on a nicely prepared seed bed in a garden.
Now look at what most people give their cat - a miserably small
litter tray. We often have to stand outside the tray in order to have the room to do a proper dig. Sometimes it is even worse and the small tray has a top to it so that we can barely turn out.
And turning to look at what we have done, before neatly covering it up, is natural behaviour.
Worse still a recent survey of UK pet owners showed that 64% of the owners who had more than one cat only put down one litter tray. Normal deposits for a litter tray would be between 3-5 dumps (both kinds) so a single tray would be filthy very soon.
Give us one tray per cat. And one extra just in case.
Give us the space we need.....
And, purlease, clean up twice a day.
