Enclosed Cat Litter Box with Carbon Filter

Cats are private about where they go, and most of what owners complain about with litter trays comes back to that. Scatter across the floor, a smell that reaches the hallway, a cat who suddenly starts going somewhere else entirely. A hood deals with two of those directly and helps with the third: it keeps kicked litter inside where it lands, holds odour in one place, and gives a nervous cat somewhere they are not being watched by the whole room.

The carbon filter sits in the lid, where air leaves the tray, and it is replaceable rather than sealed in, so the odour control keeps working after the first few weeks instead of quietly stopping. The top lifts clean away, which means scooping does not involve reaching in through a small door at an awkward angle, and the internal surfaces are smooth enough to wipe out properly when you strip the whole thing down and start again with fresh litter.

• Hooded design for privacy and much less scatter
• Replaceable carbon filter set into the lid
• Lift-off top for scooping and full cleans
• Smooth interior surfaces wipe down easily
• Room inside to turn round and dig properly
• Two colour choices

Two things worth knowing. There is no UV lamp in this tray, it is a hooded box with a carbon filter, and we would rather tell you that than let you find out.

Who it's for: Households where the tray has to live in a room people actually use, with one tray per cat plus a spare if there is more than one.
