Product description of the manufacturer
The high-quality litter tray from the Linuma brand offers a well thought-out solution for the needs of small cats. Made of durable and easy-to-clean material, it offers enough space for the cat to feel comfortable.
The raised design effectively prevents litter from escaping, keeping the environment clean.
A practical accessory is the robust litter scoop, which facilitates the quick removal of lumps and makes cleaning effortless. The set is complemented by a cat litter mat, which keeps the area around the litter tray clean by absorbing any cat litter that falls. The non-slip underside ensures that the mat stays firmly in place.
An integrated activated charcoal filter helps to neutralize unpleasant odours and ensures a pleasant indoor climate, which is beneficial for both cats and their humans.
This set is an ideal solution for keeping the litter tray hygienic and odorless . Whether for one or several cats, it combines practicality and comfort in an attractive design.
Practical tests have shown that the litter tray is suitable for both small cats and larger cats such as Norwegian Forest Cats.

When you pick up the litter tray for the first time , you immediately notice how robust it is. The outer wall is thick, stable and high so that it can be assumed that little cat litter will be scattered outside when the cat goes to the toilet.
The design is attractive and modern, but not too flashy, making it suitable for many households.
The plastic scoop feels robust and the grid is the typical size for collecting clumps.
Overall, the individual product components make a high-quality impression.

The litter tray was subjected to a thorough practical test .
During testing, it became apparent that the toilet is suitable for both small and larger cats, such as Norwegian Forest Cats.
The robustness of the litter tray became apparent as soon as the litter was filled in . The walls are thick and stable and do not deform when large quantities of litter are used. Various types of litter were tested and all were compatible with the litter tray.
The surface of the litter tray turned out to be quite robust and is resistant to cat scratches, so it can be assumed that no scratch marks will appear on the object even after prolonged use.
The weight of the litter tray is also comparable to that of similar products, the litter tray is handy and can be placed anywhere or moved as required .
In the practical test, the litter tray was particularly convincing due to its high design, the accessories supplied (scoop and slide mat) which retain the litter and the optimal size.

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.
Prices of up to €48.00 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as € 29.00. The LINUMA litter tray is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €33.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
