When do cats stop growing?
Cats are known for their small size and playful personalities, but have you ever wondered when they stop growing? The answer depends on several factors, including the breed of the cat and whether it is...

This tray is such good quality and it looks great. It has replaced 2 smaller plastic trays and now my cat has so much room! Very easy to use with a clumping litter - the litter doesn't stick to the steel when it gets wet.
It didnt really fit my cat well, after I measured him and went off the site size chart. The neck cuff is much too thick for the type of cat he is
Azura and I have daily explorations in the garden to “Smell the roses”, well actually the wattles and grevilleas. We identify many different bird species as well with much excitement. Purrfect harness for my young kitty.
Its a solid design that works well.
Only I only wish it came in more designs/colours. Maybe more adjustability.
I thought this would be a simple progression as my cat always wants to get out of our enclosed patio when I go out the door! I have had the harness around inside and put it on a few times but he just sits and when he moves sometimes steps sideways. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Kym, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. What you’ve described is actually a very common first reaction for cats when they try a harness, many will “freeze” or move a little awkwardly at first because it simply feels different and takes some getting used to.
The good news is that with a little patience and positive reinforcement most cats adapt really well. Here are a few tips that can help:
1. Start small – Keep the harness on for just a few minutes indoors, paired with something positive like treats, mealtime or play.
2. Build up gradually – Increase the time slowly over several days so your cat gets comfortable at their own pace.
3. Encourage movement – Toss a treat or use a favourite toy to motivate those first steps.
You’re not doing anything wrong, your cat just needs a little extra time to learn that the harness means good things.

Took a week or so for Evee to get used to to the harness but morning and afternoon we go out for a walk she loves it
Best ever tray. Clean, no tracking. Cats love it.
Finally, a really good quality, reasonably sized stainless steel litter box for big cats! My two Ragdoll louts had no problems at all with transitioning from their plastic boxes to the big new shiny thing. I’m running the Barely There litter box together with a plastic litter tray as I wanted to trial the stainless steel and obviously need two litter boxes for two cats. It did not disappoint, so I have ordered another Barely There litter box and am waiting for the next batch in September.
I had idly hoped to scale down to one box as we’re downsizing to a smaller house, but came to my senses before trying that, and it’s such a good product that I’m sure we’ll find a room for the 2nd somewhere. As another reviewer pointed out, a Barely There stainless steel litter box with a tofu clumping litter is the absolute answer: no smell, hygienic (as much as waste can be), lightweight on both parts, and easy to clean with no residual odor. It is well worth the outlay, and I feel that it will surely be a worthy and long lasting investment.
Well done Barely There 😊👍
