The litter tray is the most awkward thing to pack for a cat, which is the whole reason this one exists. It collapses flat when empty, so it travels in the boot without taking up a boot's worth of space, then opens out into a proper walled tray wherever you stop. The carry handle means it moves from car to caravan in one hand while you are still holding the carrier, the food and everything else.

The body is Oxford fabric with a waterproof lining, which is a sensible pairing for this job. The Oxford weave takes scratching and rough handling, and the lining stops anything soaking through into the fabric or the surface underneath it. It wipes out rather than needing a hose, which matters in a hotel room or a tent. Two footprints are offered, 40x30cm and 50x40cm, in red, green or black.

• Two sizes: 40x30cm and 50x40cm
• Waterproof Oxford cloth lining
• Folds flat for transport and storage
• Carry handle
• Three colours: red, green and black
• Wipes clean rather than needing rinsing

On using it as your only tray. Fabric sides are fine for a weekend but they hold odour in a way plastic does not, so this earns its place as a travel or spare tray rather than a permanent one at home. The usual rule still applies indoors: one tray per cat, plus one.

What the options mean. Sold in sizes from 40X30cm to 50X40cm — £9.99 to £12.99.

Who it's for: Cat owners who travel, camp, or want a spare tray that lives folded in a cupboard until it is needed.
