IMAC Easy Cat Second Life Hooded Cat Litter Box - 50x40x40cm

IMAC Easy Cat Second Life Hooded Cat Litter Box - 50x40x40cm is IMAC's covered cat tray, moulded from its Second Life recycled plastic. The hood clips onto a deep base, a clear flap swings in the front, and a carry handle folds up out of the lid. It measures 50 x 40 x 40cm and comes with a scoop that stores in a slot on the side.

Key Features

• Hood and swing door: the enclosure keeps scattered litter in and gives a nervous cat somewhere private to go.
• Carbon filter: IMAC fits an activated carbon filter in the lid to hold smell back while the vent still lets air through.
• Lid lifts off: side clips release the top so you can scoop out, change the litter or fit a liner without fighting the hood.
• Carry handle: a handle folds up out of the lid, so a full tray can be moved without gripping the rim.
• Scoop included: the scoop slides into its own slot on the body rather than going missing in a cupboard.
• 50 x 40 x 40cm: an average adult cat should be able to turn around inside without pressing against the walls.
• Recycled plastic: IMAC's Second Life line is moulded from reclaimed plastic rather than virgin material.

Living With A Hooded Box

• A hood holds the smell in for you, which also means it concentrates for the cat. Scoop it out daily or the enclosure works against you.
• Not every cat will use a covered tray. If yours hovers at the entrance or starts going elsewhere, take the hood off and run it as an open tray before assuming the litter is at fault.
• If your cat will not push through the flap, the door can come out and the box still works. That is worth doing from the start for a kitten or an older cat with stiff joints.
• Replace the carbon filter when it stops making a difference. A clogged filter is one of the usual reasons a hooded box starts to smell.

Good To Know

• IMAC moulds this range in more than one colour and this listing does not let you choose. Ask us which colour is in stock before you order if it matters.
• The usual guidance is one tray per cat plus one spare, placed apart from each other and away from food and water bowls.
• Litter is heavy. Check the 50cm footprint against the spot you have in mind before ordering, particularly in a bathroom or a utility cupboard.
• Wash it with hot water and a mild detergent. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners, which smell like urine to a cat and can put it off the tray altogether.
• Replace the tray once the plastic is badly scratched. Scratches hold smell no matter how well you wash them.
