Using
the Oz-Pet Sieve Litter Tray:
|
The
tray is made up of two parts, with the top
section used as a sieve. When Oz-Pet Litter is
wet, it breaks down into smaller particles,
which then fall through into the bottom tray
when shaken once or twice a day. This leaves the
top litter always fresh, clean and dry. |

Step 1.
Put a couple of handfuls of Oz-Pet pellets in
the bottom
tray - as most of the liquid goes straight
through and this will start absorption.
|
Step 2.
Put a layer of Oz-Pet pellets in the top sieve
tray - some cats prefer more, some less - I put
in only about one kilo - just enough to lightly
cover.
|
Step 3.
Place the top sieve tray onto the bottom tray -
now ready for use.
|
Step 4.
Remove solids regularly. Shake the tray or stir
the pellets, once or twice a day - the wet fines
fall through the sieve and are collected by the
bottom tray, leaving the top tray pellets dry
and clean.
|
Step 5.
The wet fines are in the bottom tray - ready to
be emptied. The fines compost very quickly, and
make excellent food for your garden!
|
Step 6.
Rinse bottom tray out, place a couple of
handfuls of pellets in the bottom tray again,
put the top sieve tray back on top... ready for
use again. Top up the pellets as necessary.

And
below are some other "things" I have found
suitable also. The trick is to make sure the
holes are just slightly smaller than the pellets
to prevent clogging. |

| This is a
garden sieve, bought from a hardware store. Not
big enough for cats that like to dig thru to
China! |
This is a
potted plant base, which fits well underneath,
to catch the loose fines. |
Here is the
whole package. Would be great if it was larger
with higher sides, though. |
| Below
is the same Garden Sieve, which fits perfectly on top of a rubbish
bin. I only empty the bin when near to full, and
the bottom stuff has already started to break
down into useable compost. Poop gets scooped and
tipped into the bottom bin as well. The tray could be a little larger with higher
sides, but it still works well. If I can detect
an odour, I just put a scoop of litter from the
tray down into the bottom bin for further
absorption. Strangely enough, the cats prefer to
use this "pedestal" system even if
there is a normal litter tray on the ground. |

| And
below is the baby kittens litter tray, it is a
cheap document storage tray from a Bargain Bin
shop, on top of a standard small litter tray.
The big cats often choose to use these as well,
and that looks really funny, because it takes
great aim and concentration! These small trays
are good in show cages too, never get wet feet
again. |
