FAQs
How often should I replace the active carbon filter?
It is generally recommended to replace the active carbon filter every 1-2 months, depending on usage and the type of litter used, to ensure effective odor control.
Can the swing door be removed?
Yes, the swing door is removable. It can be detached for cats who prefer open access or if it hinders their entry.
What are the dimensions of the litter tray?
The total dimensions are approximately 50 cm (L) x 37 cm (W) x 39 cm (H). The inner dimensions are approximately 45 cm (L) x 34 cm (W) x 33 cm (H).
Is this litter tray suitable for multiple cats?
While the enclosed design offers privacy, the size may be more suited for a single cat or a smaller household. For multiple cats, consider if the size and number of trays meet their needs.
Where is the litter scoop stored?
The included litter scoop has a dedicated storage compartment located within the lid of the litter tray.
How do I clean the hooded part of the litter tray?
The hood is removable by unclipping the side fasteners. Once detached, it can be washed with mild soap and water, rinsed, and dried thoroughly.
Is the construction durable?
Yes, the tray is made from high-quality plastic, designed for stability and durability with regular use.
Troubleshooting
Cat is hesitant to use the hooded tray
Ensure the tray is clean and has adequate litter. Remove the swing door temporarily to allow easier access. Place familiar scent items in the tray or use a cat attractant spray if needed. Gradually introduce the cat to the hooded environment.
Lingering odors even with the filter
Check if the active carbon filter needs replacement. Ensure the hood is securely attached and that no litter or waste is escaping the enclosure. Clean the entire tray thoroughly, as residual waste can contribute to odor.
Litter is still scattering
Ensure the litter depth is appropriate. Check that the hood is properly secured. Consider using a deeper-clumping litter or a litter mat at the entrance.
Swing door is difficult for the cat
If your cat struggles with the door, try removing it completely. If the cat adjusts well, you can reintroduce the door gradually. Some cats may need time to adapt to the movement of the door.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Assemble the base tray and attach the hood using the side clips.
- Insert the active carbon filter into the designated slot in the lid.
- Place the swing door into its opening if removed.
- Fill the tray with your cat's preferred litter to the recommended depth (approximately 11cm for the base tray).
- Store the included litter scoop in its compartment in the lid.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for most standard cat litters (clumping, non-clumping, silica gel).
- Designed for cats of various sizes, though very large breeds may prefer a roomier option. The entrance is approximately 20 x 20 cm.
- The swing door is removable, making it compatible with cats who prefer open entryways or need larger access.
Care:
- Daily: Scoop waste using the integrated scoop. Clean the swing door if necessary.
- Weekly: With the hood removed (unclip side fasteners), empty the tray completely. Wash the base tray and hood with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely before refilling with fresh litter.
- Monthly (or as needed): Replace the active carbon filter in the lid to maintain optimal odor control. Ensure the filter compartment is clean before inserting a new filter.
