Moderna

The Moderna Cat Litter Tray Soft Green and Lotus Litter Tray Olive Green are open trays in slightly different shapes and depths, while the Moderna Smart Cat Loo Coral is a hooded design for a cat that prefers privacy, or an owner who wants less litter tracked across the floor.

An open tray suits a kitten, an older cat with reduced mobility, or a nervous cat that dislikes an enclosed space, while a hooded design suits a confident cat and a household that wants the mess contained. Neither is objectively better — it depends on the cat.

The Moderna Smarty Bowl and Smarty Cat Bowl sit alongside a Spaniel-shaped bowl designed with longer ears in mind, all part of the same simple, coloured-plastic range as the litter trays.

They are everyday bowls rather than anti-slip or automatic designs — if pushing the bowl around the floor is an issue for your pet, our anti-slip-grips range has options built specifically to stay put. That makes it easy to match colours across a cat's whole set-up, from tray to bowl, if that is something you care about.

Each design comes in a handful of colourways, from muted greens to brighter berry tones, so matching a tray to a bowl — or deliberately not matching them — is mostly a question of what suits the room rather than anything to do with the cat.

Size matters more than colour for the bowls specifically: the Spaniel-shaped design has a narrower opening built for dogs with long, floppy ears, while the plain Smarty Bowl and Smarty Cat Bowl suit most everyday feeding without that consideration. A cat that dislikes having its whiskers brush against the sides of a bowl may do better with the wider, shallower Smarty Cat Bowl than with a narrower design built for a dog.
