The best cat litter trays and boxes for your feline friend

Best value: Made from quality plastic, this tray is simple but effective, which is just what you need. Its design stops litter scattering everywhere and it's an easy clean. We love the grey colour - you'll be able to put it anywhere.Review: "Very good size cat tray, enough room for puss to manoeuvre in. Extremely easy to clean. Arrived in excellent packaging, and very quickly."

Best hooded litter tray: Cats can want a private space to use the toilet and this will be perfect for them. It comes with a scoop and will fight against odours coming into your home. If you need to travel with your cat then it's also portable, which is really unique.Review: "Arrived a few days after ordering, easy to assemble and fit snuggly in the corner of the room. Both cats used the tray, and NO SCATTERING OF LITTER on the floor ud83dude0a perfect!"

Best for smaller cats: This compact tray will be perfect if your cat accidentally (or purposefully) scatters litter. It prevents mess and also any leaking that can occur. The self-cleaning sifting system is an easy way of cutting down cleaning time, giving you way more time to play with your little pal. Review: "Holds mess well, easy enough to clean, much better than fully enclosed ones, worth the money with the extra tray you get with it as well. Best choice I've made."

Best for bigger cats: With a clever design that has a litter shield, litter mess will be a thing of the past. It's a larger size so no cat will be too big for it, and they'll have lots of space to do their business. It could even work if you have multiple cats in the home.Review: "I purchased this large cat tray because my elderly cat has arthritis and has found it difficult to manoeuvre in the smaller tray. Her name is Bonnie, she is 80 in human years and is clearly more 'comfortable' in her larger 'loo'! Once again, during the restrictions of Covid -19, Argos has come up trumps - excuse the pun! Well done Argos!"

Best for kittens: Toilet training a new kitten can be hard and they can be a little nervous about it. This little tray's ergonomic design has sides that are low enough for the smallest of cats to get into, but not so low that the litter will scatter. It comes with a scoop and it's made from non-toxic plastic.Review: "Really good value, and perfect for a kitten, the sides are low enough for them to get in and out easily!"

Best litter box with a lid: Who knew a litter box could be trendy? It comes in three beautiful colours and is super lightweight. It has an anti-slip rim and ventilation holes, so it's comfortable for your cat and there won't be odour problems. Your cat will love the privacy, too.Review: "I have two of these litter trays, they are very easy to empty and clean to look neat and discreet. It appears quite small but my 8kg Maine coon gets in them no problem. I have tried A LOT of fancy and expensive litter boxes and this one is my favourite. Simple and effective."

Best self-cleaning litter box: If you live a busy lifestyle, this plugin litter box will be your new favourite. You can leave it for weeks as the automatic rake system has a timer. It's leakproof and has safety sensors, so it really does it all.Review: "This is brilliant as you don't need to poop scoop anymore as this does this for you. The only thing I would suggest is to buy a cat litter mat to catch the small gel litter as the cats seem to get it everywhere when leaving the tray. It is quite large but looks stylish."

Best for easy cleaning: If you want the easiest cleaning litter box, you've got it with Natusan. You won't ever have to wash the actual box, simply throw it away once it's worn out (it lasts about a month). As it's recyclable, it's environmentally friendly, and there's a subscription available, too. You will still have to clean the litter regularly and top it up with fresh litter when required.Review: "Love the product!"

If your fussy feline friend prefers wood pellets in their litter, this 15L litter will be sure to see them through. With quick absorption, it also works to prevent odour. Review: "Prefer wood based litter to other cat litters. When it comes to clearing out box the litter just slides out, no sticking to box. the only downside is because the wood pellets turn to sawdust it does tend to track. I overcame this by buying track mats which the cats walk when they come out of box."

Catsan knows how to do cat litter. It's lightweight, low-dust and contains natural lime and quartz sand that will quickly absorb any liquid. It will also prevent nasty odours.Review: "I always buy this litter. Non-clumping and doesn't smell. Fast delivery too."

Eco-friendly filters will keep your hooded litter trays fresher for longer, and these ones can be adjusted so they'll work for whatever size you have.Review: "I bought these for my cat litter tray but I have also put one on the inside lid of my food recycle bin and it does absorb smells."

With a deep scoop design with reinforced plastic, this scooper is a great option if you don't already have one. It comes in four colours so you can scoop in style. Review: "Let your animal poop (at its own free will) your pet is not a playdough machine. Once poop appears, pinch nose, run in with your shiny new poop scoop, poop it in the toilet and BANG THE POOP IS GONE!! MIND = BLOWN!"

This gorgeous cat hiding spot will give your cat the privacy they want and look good in your home. Just add a litter box or tray into it and make it a cosy space for them to use.

This cat-friendly cleaning disinfectant makes cleaning your cat's litter box so easy. While you could use soapy water to clean out your cat's litter box, all you need with this disinfectant is a little bit of kitchen roll. Job done. Review: "Great product, which makes an unpleasant task a lot more bearable. Not strongly scented (so is not off-putting to my cat), yet seems to successfully eliminate any nasty litter box smells. Easy to use spray bottle, and I feel comfortable using this cat-safe product, as some other cleaners (eg kitchen counter sprays) can be highly toxic to cats. I even use it to clean up and remove odours when she is sick/brings up hairballs on carpets or upholstery, although given the dark colour, I would recommend a patch test before doing this, in case it stains!!!"
