Cat litter and litter tray accessories
This aisle covers both the litter itself and the trays it goes in, and the two decisions are connected: a clumping litter and a non-clumping one are cleaned differently, which affects which tray design actually suits your routine. Getting the pairing right matters more to a cat than either choice does on its own.
Clumping versus non-clumping litter
A clumping litter, such as Kittyfriend Clumping Cat Litter, forms solid clumps around urine that can be scooped out daily, leaving the rest of the tray clean and usable for longer between full changes.
A non-clumping litter, like Catsan Wood Comfort Non Clumping, generally needs the whole tray changed more often since urine simply soaks in rather than clumping, but some owners prefer it for a kitten still learning, or a cat with sensitivities to scented, clumping types.
Choosing a tray to go with it
An open tray, such as the Moderna Cat Litter Tray Soft Green, suits most cats and makes daily scooping straightforward, while a hooded design suits a household wanting less litter tracked around and a cat that is not bothered by an enclosed space.
Whichever tray you choose, one tray per cat plus one extra is the general guidance from welfare charities, particularly in a multi-cat household, since cats can be reluctant to share.
Scoops and liners
A dedicated litter scoop with a slotted or mesh design separates clumps from clean litter far more cleanly than an improvised kitchen tool, and keeping one by the tray makes daily scooping quick enough that it actually happens every day rather than being put off.
Tray liners can make emptying a full change easier, though some cats dislike the feel or sound of a liner under their paws and will avoid a tray fitted with one — if your cat suddenly stops using a lined tray, try removing the liner before assuming anything more serious is wrong.

Common questions
- How often should I change cat litter completely?
- With a clumping litter, scooping daily and doing a full change every one to two weeks is typical, while non-clumping litter often needs a full change more frequently since it does not isolate waste the same way. Watch for odour as a practical guide too.
- How many litter trays do I need for multiple cats?
- A common guide from welfare organisations is one tray per cat, plus one extra, placed in different locations around the house. This reduces competition and gives a nervous or lower-ranking cat somewhere to go without confrontation.
- Is scented litter safe for cats?
- Most scented litters are fine for the average cat, but some cats are sensitive to strong fragrances and may avoid a scented tray altogether. If your cat suddenly stops using the tray after a switch, an unscented option is worth trying instead.
