Best Cat Litter Trays 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why the Dimensions Disagree

It sits at number one on the review base and the numbers behind it: 4,860 ratings at 4.4, ninth in Amazon's Cat Litter Boxes ranking, and 71% of those ratings are five-star. Crucially, Feandrea gives you the inside as well as the outside, 50 x 40.5 x 34.5 cm within a 54.3L x 42.5W x 37.8H cm shell. Most cat litter trays in this price band publish one figure and leave you to guess the other.

In practice the slide-out tray does the cleaning work: pull it out, scoop, push it back. The lid is grated so litter drops back in when the cat jumps out, and an extended edge above the tray plus an enclosed bottom are meant to stop leaks reaching the floor. A scoop and a brush come in the box, and the 15 kg stated top load is the highest capacity here.

That said, this is a 54.3 x 42.5 cm footprint and 3.4 kg of plastic, and 5% of its ratings are one-star. If your cat has never used a covered box, other cat litter trays here will be easier to introduce. The top-entry option also asks a cat to land on a lid 37.8 cm off the floor.

It is second on the strength of 27,477 ratings at 4.2, more than five times the Feandrea's total. The catch is that the page contradicts itself. The bullet text gives 46 x 41.5 x 54.5 cm as height by width by depth, and the size field gives 54.5L x 41.5W x 46H cm, which is the same box read two ways. Then the item dimensions field gives 54.5L x 46W x 41.5H cm, where width and height have swapped again. Two lines say 41.5 cm wide, one says 46 cm wide, and that is a 4.5 cm question mark over one side of the footprint.

In practice the design is straightforward. The hood lifts for access, an overlap mechanism sits between tray and lid, the bag anchor holds a liner open while you scoop, and a carbon-impregnated filter handles odour. A locking slider holds the assembly together, the materials are BPA-free, and there is a two-year warranty. The door opening is 26.4 x 24.4 cm.

Even so, 9% of its ratings are one-star and a further 4% are two-star. No interior dimensions are published at all, so the only way to know whether a large cat can turn around inside is to measure the box yourself. If your gap is exactly 42 cm, buy something else.

This is the highest-scoring box here at 4.5 from 388 ratings, and 22nd in Cat Litter Boxes. The published size is 60L x 40W x 38.5H cm, rated for cats up to 10 kg, and 77% of its ratings are five-star. It is also the only stainless steel cat litter tray in the list, which matters if you are tired of plastic holding on to smell.

The basin is 15 cm deep with 23.5 cm high sides, and the flip lid opens for scooping without dismantling anything. The pads underneath are 7.4 cm tall, so a kitten or an older cat steps up rather than jumps. You get a scoop, a foot step that catches litter from paws, eight anti-slip stickers and an instruction manual. At the same time the same body can run enclosed, semi-enclosed or fully open.

Worth noting: 388 ratings is a thin record next to the Catit's 27,477, and the specification lists no product warranty at all. Seven per cent of its ratings are one-star. At 3.3 kg and 60 cm long, it is not the box to buy if you plan to move it between rooms.

At £21.98 this is the cheapest hooded box in the list, with 1,686 ratings at 4.3 behind it. The numbers, however, disagree in the same way as the Catit's. The bullet says 55 x 35 x 40.5 cm and the item dimensions field says 55L x 40.5W x 35H cm. Length is 55 cm in both lines; the other two figures have simply changed places. The footprint is either 55 x 35 cm or 55 x 40.5 cm, and that difference decides whether it fits your gap.

In practice it is a two-piece plastic shell. The lid clicks onto the tray with no tools and no construction, the front flap swings both ways, the hood has ventilation slits, and there is a carry handle on top. It weighs 1.19 kg, the second lightest box here, and the country of origin is listed as the United Kingdom.

That said, there is no carbon filter, no published interior measurement and no stated weight limit for the cat. Six per cent of its ratings are one-star and another 3% are two-star. If you need odour filtration or a measured interior, other cat litter trays at this price will tell you more before you pay.

It ranks sixth in Cat Litter Boxes on 184 ratings at 4.1, which means the ranking is doing more work than the review count. The size is 50L x 39.5W x 39.5H cm and it weighs 2.1 kg, making it the smallest footprint of the top five. Sixteen per cent of its ratings sit at two stars or below.

The foldable hood is the point of it: it collapses flat for storage or a car boot, and the tray lifts out for cleaning. A scoop and a flap door are included. The listing describes a jumbo interior, but no internal measurement is published, so treat "large" as a name rather than a figure. In theory a folding box saves space; in practice it also means more joints to clean.

By contrast with the boxes above it, 13% of its ratings are one-star and another 4% are two-star. If you want a box that stays rigid and square and never shifts, this is not the one. If you need to pack it away between uses, it is.

Its review base is 320 ratings at 4.2, 43rd in Cat Litter Boxes. The dimensions are 47.5L x 35.5W x 36.7H cm, and the manufacturer states a maximum cat weight of 5 kg, the lowest ceiling in this list. Sixty-five per cent of its ratings are five-star.

The drawer slides out for cleaning and a scoop comes with it. Entry is at the front and the exit is over the grated top, the standard two-way trick for cutting tracking, and stray litter falls back through the holes. It collapses to 19.5 cm in height and goes back up without tools. At 3 kg it is neither the lightest nor the heaviest box here.

Meanwhile, the 5 kg ceiling rules out most large cats; for those, the stainless steel option above, rated to 10 kg, is the better of these cat litter trays to buy. Six per cent of its ratings are one-star and another six per cent are two-star. At 35.5 cm wide it is at the narrow end for a covered box.

This is the smallest box in the list at 42L x 37W x 35H cm and 2 kg, and it is also the lowest rated of the ten at 4.0 from 765 ratings. Twelve per cent of its ratings are one-star. A low entrance is a real advantage for kittens and older cats, and this is the box that leans hardest into that.

The door has three locking modes, out only, in only, or free access, set by sliding latches, which suits toilet training or a cat that needs one-way control. The top lid is perforated so litter falls back in as the cat leaves, the drawer pulls fully out, and a cleaning brush and scoop are included. The interior coating is meant to wipe down easily.

That said, the specification gives the weight capacity as 11 pounds while every other box here quotes kilograms, so check that figure yourself before assuming it suits your cat. A 4.0 average with 12% one-star ratings is the weakest combination in this list. If reviews are what you trust, look higher up.

At £38.99 this is the most expensive box in the list, with 497 ratings at 4.1. It is also the clearest example of a number worth reading twice. The listing gives external dimensions of 43L x 44W x 47H cm and then states an interior of 8.5H x 38L x 34W cm. An interior height of 8.5 cm is very little headroom inside a covered box, and it is the figure a buyer should weigh against the £38.99 price.

The tray slides out of the hood for cleaning, the plastic is meant to hold its shape in use, and the flap door measures 18L x 22.5W cm. A scoop is included and assembly is required. At 2.8 kg it sits mid-pack on weight.

Even so, 13% of its ratings are one-star and another 2% are two-star, the joint-highest one-star share in this list. Meanwhile the Catit costs £32.74 and the Dogi £21.98. If your cat stands to urinate, the 8.5 cm interior is the number that should decide it for you.

For £19.95 you get a 60L x 38.5W x 40.5H cm covered box weighing 1.98 kg, with 4.3 from 161 ratings. The 60 cm length matches the stainless tray above; the width is 1.5 cm narrower. A one-year warranty is listed and the material is plastic.

A carbon filter sits in the hood, the front flap is transparent and swings both ways, and the hood unclips from the sides so you can lift it off for cleaning. The tray corners are rounded so litter does not stick to the bottom. A scoop is included.

The catch is the track record: 161 ratings and a rank of 170th in Cat Litter Boxes, against sixth for the Vivo above. Six per cent of its ratings are one-star. It is long and narrow, which suits a cat that likes a run-up and suits a cat that turns in a circle rather less.
