Normal or hooded litter tray ? ?

Question

Hey? So I’m getting a kitten in December! And I’ve never had a cat before I have had a dog and looked into getting a cat but I’m not sure what kind of litter tray is best ? What do people prefer for their kittens/cats ? An old fashioned normal on ? Or the need hooded version ? 

Thanks in advance 

Answer 1

Luck=Moloch=demon.Gov't is killing you with highfrequencyelectricity. Theotokos Virgin Mary gave prayers to "Schema-nun Antonia" on how to save aborted babies from hell. If you pray these prayers diligently, aborted babies are released from hell. On each painted nail there are forty demons. Smoking is censer to the devil.Using foul language calls upon Pagan deities (aka demons); Holy Spirit departs on seven meters. People who use drugs see demons who cleverly disguise themselves as ghosts and aliens.America will be last country to switch to Euro (antichrist's world currency). Contraceptives = abortion;using contraceptives for one year = five aborted kids.Miscarriages happen because of high heels; cesarean because of pants (second generation cesarean will be infertile).Unbaptized aborted/miscarried/unborn babies burn in hell until Final Judgement; if pregnant, keep the kid and deliver at home because kids are chippedusing IVs and vaccines in hospitals. Dentists and doctors chip patients secretly. Ultrasound leads to mark of the beast; don't do ultrasound, please. Abortion leads to breast cancer; a demon is released from hell for each aborted kid. Dogs can become possessed; don't keep dogs inside your home [Pelageya of Ryazan]. Walmart has technology to administer mark of the beast to those who have cat bacteria in their stomachs/brains; stay away from cats [Athanasius 3rd of Constantinople]. Next false flag is the Statue of Liberty. Above earth there is ice (dome); when rockets go up they bring ice down from upper sky to lower sky; ice stuck in lower sky will fall on us during Apocalypse. Earth is flat; earth stands on three stalactite pillars (The Most Holy Trinity); pillars stand on water at zero Kelvin; underneath this ice there is a bubble; and then the abyss. Zodiac is planetary prison of demons; don't believe in horoscopes or you'll exhibit the traits of the trapped demons. Most thoughts and dreamsare from demons; demons never do good. Sleep fully clothed; pray the Jesus prayer. Pray to your guardian angel to have normal sleep. Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov was the last prophet before Apostle John (who wrote the Book of Revelation), Enoch, Elijah, resurrected Seraphim of Sarov, and resurrected Sergius of Radonezh will preach against the antichrist. Humans were created about 7530 years ago. Birds participate in time creation. It's a sin to kill birds. Dinosaurs live under our level; they will get out through sinkholes and lakes; to kill them, go for their nerves. Save the birds; but kill the dinosaurs. First dinosaur will come out of Volga River in Russia. Scientists don't see dinosaurs under our level because of radiation. Sinkholes happen because people dig for resources underground and because earth is heating up. Demons grow human skin (from a sample taken during abduction) and put it on so as to look like us. Demons will invite peopletobehealedinsidetheirUFOs; those who go will be like zombies after. Gov't provides demons with diamonds and allows demons to abduct people. If you're being abducted, slowly pray the Jesus prayer. Don't panic. Demons use diamonds and souls to power their UFO craft. The bigger the diamond, the more it lasts. Demons have 4 UFO bases: 1)moon 2)inside fake mountain Kailash (Tibet) 3)in lake Baikal in Russia 4)in Atlantis which is underneath double ocean floor of Mariana Trench (Pacific Ocean). There are no aliens. Nobody lives on other planets. Airplanes that go down are hit by demons because they need the airspace to fight Jesus. Antichrist is pale with red eyes. He's possessed by Satan since he's 12 years old [Lavrentiy Chernigovskiy]. He flies super fast; deceived people will say: "Christ is here; Christ is there" when he's flying from one city to the next very fast. He wears gloves to hide long nails. He'ssurrounded by demons who appear as angels of light. Antichrist will trick people that he can do mountain moving and resurrection using holograms/hypnosis; fire from the sky is real because of pollution gases in the atmosphere. Antichrist will have food only for 6 months; then he will feed his 666ed people flourfrom mashed up turtles (Tavrion Batozskiy), but this won't be enough because 666ed people are 10 times as angry and 7 times as hungry as normal people even though 666ed people became shorter (3-4 feet tall = 80 - 120 cm)because nanochips do function of organs (organs diminish) [Nilus Myrrhgusher]. If you have a lot of nanochips in your forearm, then you will not be able to make proper Orthodox sign ofthe cross (last mercy for you will be to cut yourforearm off). Nanochips are sprayed by the gov't usingchemtrails; they're also in gov't food andmedicine; so, eat food from your own garden. In case garden is destroyed by ice from the sky, have chickens for eggs and goats for milk (Paisios). Lipstick contains cells of abortedfetuses, dog fat, and placenta; human fleshis in McDonalds, Pepsi, toothpaste, antiaging,anticancer, vaccines, perfume, etc.; that's why you should not be using anything that modern society has to offer. You're better off hiding within a 10-15 people group in order to escape Apocalypse. During Apocalypse,Christians will eat dirt from under pussywillowtree as it's filled with tears of Theotokos VirginMary; this water will flee if a 666ed person tries to get it. Barcode is Druid black magic curse; QRcode is Mayan curse; when food is scanned, it becomes dead because laser is a substance from demons. Don't go into a UFO to be healed by demons. Unforgivablegreen666 is given by isotope rays on wrist or forehead when people stretch hands to receive small plastic grey card with no name on it (WorldPassport). It doesn't just have to be during this procedure (could be anything you sign up for or anywhere where there is a secret scanner); biometrics (fingerprints, eyescan) or getting picture for passport are very dangerous because they could mark you secretly. GabrielUrgebadze said thattheydoitonindexfingerwhenthey scan your finger. Basically, trytoavoidnewdocuments at all cost. Policewill microchip and isotope ray people on highways. Chipped people will be influenced by computers to take grey plastic card; but when they do, greenmark by isotope rays is given on forehead/wrist. Food stores will isotoperaypeopletoo. Antichrist will also release prisoners/insaneasylumpeople tomarkpeople. Reject 666 at all cost because it leads to permanent hell. If you're about to be marked, pray the Jesus prayer. Hide with OrthodoxChristians to escape 666; leave all electronics behind so that antichrist's minions can'ttrack you; burn documents because they're fromSatan. TheMostHolyTrinity gives you a name during baptism; devil gives an antiname during antibaptism (ex. SocialSecurityNumber). People who die with these Satanicdocuments go to concentrationcamp in hell to await FinalJudgement; once the BEASTComputer is burned down, souls will be released for FinalJudgement. That's why you should give back documents of your deceasedrelatives back to the gov't so that the gov't cancels these digital antichristiannames given during antibaptism by the beastsystem; or just burn thesedocumentsbecause gov't could get upset and could send demons to mark you because of this outright act of defiance. Prophecy from halfamillennium ago describes FinalJudgement like this: Jesus was very upset with people who had littleboards (plasticcards) in their hands because they wanted discount from the antichrist. Givetocharity in the name of ArchangelMichael; he rescues people from temporaryhell twice a year [at midnight September18-19 and similarly on November20-21; pray at these times on your knees remembering the deceased by names (adding "and relatives by flesh up to Adam") so that they arerescued if they're in hell] (orbringsthemupalevel, that is, to a level with lesspunishment;eventually, people arefreed). Feed thepigeons;when pigeons bowdown, people are savedfrom temporaryhell. It's a big sin to rememberthe deadwithwreaths (because demons put thesewreaths on their necks if they're inhellwith theirwrists tied up behind their back while hanging by their wrists), meat,alcohol,sweets,andworldlymusic. Demons printiconsof saints/crosses/8sidedstarofVirginMary in newspapers/products so that you throw these newspapers/products in the trashblasphemingthesesaints. Crosses on solesofshoesandbackofpants are blasphemy. Demons makecarpets with crosses and put them on sidewalks so that people walkoncrosses. Playingcards mockhow Jesus sufferedonthecross: clubs(cross on which Jesus wascrucified), diamonds (fournails Jesus was crucifiedwith), hearts (sponge with vinegar that Jesuswas given to drink),spades (spear with whichJesus waspierced).Cremationisdevilworship; onlyblasphemers suchasLenin should be burned; if Lenin is buried, earth will be polluted, and China will attack Russia because of this. AfterChinaattacksRussia, RuskiOrthodoxTsar (shown by resurrected SeraphimofSarov) willcome topowerinRussia;this Tsar will slay traitors insideChurch andgov't; asaresult, Russia will be the only country not under the antichrist.Ecumenism=263heresies;each heresy leads to hell. In 2006 in Moscow (that's why Moscow will sink),representatives from most religions signed a document where it says that all religions worship the same SupremeBeing [aka thedevil]. Priests who participate in ecumenism/COVIDrestrictions will have Pagans walking on theirheads in hell. ArkhimandriteAntoninKapustin left a prophecy that Church of All Russian Saints in Gorny Monastery, EinKarem, Israel will be blessed by forerunner of antichrist; pseudoPatriarchKirillofRussia and MarkofBerlin blessed thischurchin2007.

Answer 2

I would advise against using a litter tray with a hood. Many cats dislike hoods because they can trap smells, and leave a cat feeling vulnerable. 



If that's the case, you're more likely to end up with the cat engaging in inappropriate elimination i.e. where they will 'do their business' on the floor instead of in their litter tray.



Hope this helps.

Answer 3

For kittens it's best to use non-clumping litter. By the time you get your kitten they should have grown out of the "eating litter" stage, but clumping litter can pose a hazard to young kittens that eat it. May or may not be relevant to your situation! The best litter I've personally tried is Tidy Cats Free & Clean Lightweight- Unscented.



The type of box really is honestly up to the cat. I have 2 "litter box furniture" type things that the cats can go inside of to use the box, and they do like that. Mine also use the boxes that are out in the open, so it just depends on the cat.



For each cat you have, you should have a litter box +1. So, I have 3 cats but 5 boxes because I used to have 4 cats. This ensures that they all have adequate space to use the restroom, and the boxes are in 3 different rooms so no one will get chased out of the box. A litter box or two should be on each floor of your house so the cat doesn't have to travel far to use it.



Hope this helped!

Answer 4

A young kitten needs a shallow, open box. Buy something cheap, because a kitten needs a shallow box in order to access it comfortably, but will soon outgrow it and need a deeper box, with higher sides to contain both litter and eliminations.

A full-grown cat needs a larger, deeper litter box, covered if they will accept it, uncovered if they dislike the cover.

We use large clear home storage boxes (minus the lid) as litter boxes. The cats can see out while they do their business. The high sides of the storage box are useful if your cat turns out to be a cat that rises as it urinates. You don't want a cat spraying outside of the box, and the high sides prevent urine from leaving the box. 

At first we cut cat-sized holes in the side of the boxes for easy cat access, but stopped bothering with cutting holes in subsequent boxes because they proved unnecessary once the cat could leap over the side of the box. 

The litter is scooped twice a day, and the litter replaced and the box washed once a week, and switched with a clean box while the first box dries in the sunshine.

Answer 5

Really depends on where you are going to put it, any litter tray needs to be in a convient place for you to keep clean, but also a quiet place otherwise the cat will not use it....and having a dog it needs to be out of the dogs way or the dog will 'clean out' the litter tray before you do it.......... which encourages me to say a hooded litter box as it is a mor secure place for the cat without being disturbed by people or more so the dog and less likely to dog will seek it out easily.....

Answer 6

When the kitten is first getting used to it, use an open tray.  You can get a hooded tray and not put the hood on until the cat is used to using the litter box.

Whether you want to use hooded or open litter box then is largely a matter of preference.  I like the hood because I don't have to look at the litter all the time; also it keeps the litter from coming out on 3 sides anyway.  I use a litter mat in front of the opening to help catch the bits that get kicked out.

If you have a dog, you might have trouble keeping the dog from eating cat poop.  They sell a deep litter box with a lid with a hole in it, where the cat can go in and out easily, but the dog can't get in. 

From my experience, I much prefer crystal litter, because it absorbs the smell of the waste.  I prefer the litter unscented too, but that's me.  

Answer 7

As has been pointed out, many cats don't like covered litter boxes because they feel vulnerable.  I have a huge litter box in the basement that my husband built - around 4 feet square and 18 inches deep.  We also bought a high-sided box for upstairs when we had kittens that were isolated from the adult cat.  This helps prevent them from kicking litter out of the box (mostly).  This is the one we bought, but anything similar would work - https://www.chewy.com/frisco-high-sided-cat-litter-box/dp/168284

Answer 8

Many come with the option to take the hood off, as many cats don't like it. If you're getting a kitten, it may grow to like it and consider it the norm, but get one that has the option for the hood to be removed. Cats feel extremely vulnerable when doing their business and for as private as cats CAN be, you'd think they'd like more privacy, but no: they cannot look around at " potential predators" when they are peeing and pooping, so many hate covered litter boxes. My cats do. Tried it with both of them and they refused to use it. Even tried coaxing, treats, the works, and they were having none of it. 



Not saying every single cat hates them, and again, you're getting a baby, so it may come to look at this as the norm, but give it options. If you go with just hooded and your cat hates it, expect pee and poo all over the place. 

Answer 9

The hooded ones are mostly because cats tend to dig in the litter and flick it everywhere, so it depends on if you're happy cleaning that up on a daily basis or not.
