Litter trays for a kitten

[TrustMeImLying]

I'm due to collect my gorgeous little kitten this weekend and have sorted all the bits out other than a litter tray.

I would prefer to have a closed top box (maybe something like the omega) but I'm not sure if it's suitable for a tiny kitten. Would she be better with a standard tray one until she's a bit bigger?

I would start with a standard tray until she's around four months probably. The closed top ones tend to be much higher and she might find it a struggle. I'm only guessing though. Other posters may be able to speak from experience.

I have always used the enclosed litter trays with kittens without any problems. When I picked up our kitten from the breeder, I found out he'd been using one of these already. Just remove the flap, and re-instate it when he's a bit older and familiar with using the cat-flap.

Ooh, bringing home a new kitten, exciting!

I use an enclosed tray, had no problems when we brought our new kitten home when he was 9 weeks and he'd only used a normal tray before.
I left the flap off to begin with, he's 3 months now and still doesn't get on with it so I'm going to leave it off until he's a bit bigger.
Enjoy your new kitten.

Thanks for the help guys. Kitten doesn't seem to get the closed top tray (just kind of stares at it and whines) so have swapped it for a normal litter tray.

Will try again with a closed tray when he's a bit bigger I think.
