requirements Before you get started, you need to know which design is preferred. It is important to determine the size, since the tray must be convenient for the animal. Otherwise, it will simply do business where it is more convenient. The pet should be able to take a comfortable position, therefore:

• The best option is a flat device with an elongated shape.
• If your cat is shy by nature and prefers to cope with big and small needs, a closed house will be a good solution.
• The depth of the future "toilet" should be at least 50, but not more than 70-80 mm. If the tray is too small, the filler, swelling, will pour through the edges.

Important! For animals that like to rummage in the filler, the side edges are desirable. A tray intended for a small kitten should be small in height so that the baby can easily climb and climb out of the tray.

As for the material of manufacture, then:

• It is desirable that the cat tray is made of plastic by hand. It is durable, affordable, and, most importantly, extremely easy to care material. Washing and cleaning it is extremely simple.
• In principle, metal is also a suitable option, but it quickly oxidizes, reacting with the urine of the animal.
• The tree is only suitable for temporary use, as it swells swiftly, absorbs moisture, and the apartment has a permanent amber, which is difficult to get rid of. For the same reason, a cardboard box under the cat's "latrine" is not the best option.
