How Can You Make a Litter Tray Easier for an Older Cat?

Direct answer: offer a roomy tray with an easy entrance, place it near the cat’s usual areas and provide stable, obstacle-free routes. New accidents or difficulty toileting need veterinary assessment.

The Dome

Reduce the entrance challenge

A lower entry on at least one side may help a stiff cat. The tray still needs enough wall height to contain litter and enough internal space to turn.

Add locations before removing old ones

Put trays on floors the cat uses so stairs are not compulsory. Keep them quiet, clean and away from food.

Watch posture and output

Straining, frequent attempts, constipation, blood or reduced urine are not furniture problems. Contact the vet promptly.

A practical furniture note: The Dome can support this routine where its current specifications suit your cat and room. Product furniture cannot diagnose or treat a health or behaviour problem.
