Cat health cat welfare: "Should my cat have an indoor litter tray even if he goes out?
This obviously depends very much on the individual cat. Of course, it goes without saying that if you have an indoor cat you absolutely must provide a tray for him. In my experience the majority of cats who do go out also need an indoor tray. Having said that, I have one elderly cat (Sylvester - see the About Us page) at present who insists on going out in all weathers and NEVER uses a tray indoors. But most cats like a tray they can use if the weather is bad, or at night.
Some people strongly object to having a litter tray in the house because they feel it is smelly and unhygienic. If you use an enclosed litter tray (which many cats prefer anyway as it gives them more privacy) it is quite effective in confining the odors, as well as helping to stop him scattering the litter all over the place. Also there are some excellent litters on the market which both absorb the odors, and 'clump up', so that damp clumps and solids can be removed easily leaving the unsoiled litter to be re-used - meaning the litter lasts much longer. Visit here for a wonderful litter like this, made of all-natural substances and so environmentally friendly too.

You will almost always find that a new cat arriving at your house will find and use the tray without being shown. If not, just pop him into the tray immediately after he does it in the 'wrong' place - DON'T shout and definitely DON'T smack him as he won't understand what he has done wrong. He will very soon learn."
