As soon as a fluffy pet appears in the house, you need to think about a cat's toilet. Cats are clean and quickly get used to a certain subject, so the latrine should be kept clean and comfortable.
Kinds
There is a
toilet for a cat closed and open type, of various depths, sizes and shapes (rectangular, angular, oval).
The open type design (tray) is the most common. It is comfortable and usually liked by animals. When choosing, you need to pay attention to the spaciousness of the model so that the cat can fit in whole and do its job “without a miss.”
The depth of the product is also of great importance: high sides serve as an obstacle to the spreading of the tray filler. The genetic feature of cats is to dig in their excrement. If there is not enough filler, then the animal will stain floors, walls.
It’s best to use the cat’s toilet closed rather than open. It has significant advantages:
- provides psychological comfort to the pet, since the latter is invisible to others;
- does not allow to scatter the filler out;
- does not allow the cat to miss the tray;
- eliminates the unpleasant specific smell;
- solves the aesthetic side of the issue, hiding the contents of the structure from the views of others.
True, along with the advantages, a large closed toilet for cats has some disadvantages. For example, high sides and a high door are not suitable for small kittens: they are not comfortable climbing inside. But this is easy to fix by buying a small tray for the baby. When he grows up to adolescence, it is recommended to purchase a closed toilet for large cats and cats.
Bio models
Design thought does not stand still, but is constantly progressing. This applies even to unpretentious designs for pets. For example, especially for the owners of Barsikov and Murok, who, for a number of reasons, are late at work and cannot timely clean the toilet, they have developed bio-toilets and accessories for them.
Bio - the same toilet for cats closed, only more advanced. It has several additional functions to ensure maximum cleanliness of the animal after visiting the toilet and the cleanliness of the structure itself: a charcoal filter, absorbent wipes, foot bridges. Some models include automatic excrement and filling with new filler. Modern designs are made in such a way that they can function normally without human intervention for a long time.
Fillers
For a latrine, filler is needed. It is believed that sand and pieces of newspaper are the most natural material for filler. But the sand and wet paper, adhered to the paws of the animal, the pet will spread throughout the apartment or house. The best filler is a special one that has good absorbent properties and completely removes the smell. By the way, it also serves for a long time, therefore it is best to pour special fillers into the toilet for cats closed and open. Then your pussy will always have clean paws, and in the toilet - clean and tidy.
