Where it will go
Somewhere quiet, with a view of the room and a way out on more than one side — and well away from the food and water bowls.

Tarquinia is an open litter tray in two sizes — 41 × 31 cm with sides 17 cm high, or 48 × 37 cm with sides 20 cm high — moulded in one piece of PP.
That is the number to look at. High enough to hold litter in when a cat digs enthusiastically, low enough that an older cat with stiff hips can still step over it. Trays that solve the scatter problem with 25 cm walls create a different problem for the animal that has to climb them.
No hood and no flap. Many cats refuse covered trays — they dislike the enclosed space and the single exit — and a hood also keeps the smell inside where the cat is. An open tray is the arrangement most cats accept without negotiation.
A raised fence sits on the rim to catch litter kicked over the side, and comes away when you want to empty or wash the tray. That is the part where hooded trays become tedious: the more pieces, the less often it actually gets cleaned.
A moulded tray has no seams for litter and moisture to work into. It is the difference between a tray that washes clean in a minute and one that never quite does.
Supplied with the tray rather than bought separately.
Allow a 1 to 3 cm tolerance on the dimensions, which are measured by hand — worth remembering if you are fitting the tray into a tight alcove.

Questions before ordering or after delivery reach a person, not a script.

No “large” or “compact” standing in for a figure: the cat litter tray with its dimensions drawn on it, so you can check it against your own space instead of trusting a photograph.

Cats come round to new things in their own time, so give it a few days before you judge it.
Put it where your cat already likes to be — a sunny corner, or the room the household uses most — and leave it there rather than presenting it. A little catnip helps on anything meant to be scratched or slept on.
Every piece is built to be used every day, not just looked at. Posts and boards are solid, and the covering is chosen for cats to scratch and rest on.
What is declared for this item — the materials, the dimensions and the weight it holds — is listed in the Details above. Each order is checked before it leaves us.
Most larger pieces, like cat trees, arrive flat with the tools and an illustrated guide in the box, and go together in about 15 to 30 minutes — no DIY experience needed.
Smaller items, such as beds, scratchers and toys, come ready to use. If a step is not clear, email our team and we will walk you through it.
Standard UK delivery is free on every order and takes 6 to 9 working days: 1 to 2 working days to prepare and dispatch, then 5 to 7 working days in transit. Order by 10pm (UK / London time) and we start preparing your order the same working day (Monday to Friday).
You receive a tracking link by email the moment it ships, and your estimated delivery date is shown at checkout before you pay.
