Standard cat litter trays are ideal. More important is the type of litter you use - it must be the non-clumping type, as clumping litter can collect about the ferret's anus (due to them being much lower to the ground than a cat) and in extreme cases cause fatal intestinal blockage.
Cat eating cat litter Is this harmful?
Cats that eat cat litter is not healthy. it does not make them anything but sick and could kill them. what you need to do is keep him from eating it the best you can. Cat litter has chemicals in it that are toxic to cats. Also the clumping litter can clog the intestines and cause infection or death. Some cats eat cat litter because they are curious or they may have anemia...which could be caused by leukemia, kidney disease, chromic renal failure, or immundodeficency. If your cat is eating cat litter, take him/her to the vet. Change the cat litter to natural stuff, like pine, paper, corn or wheat...easier to pass through the system. Also even if your cat doesnt eat litter, they still get dust on their paws...and when they clean themselves, they get it in their systems. So change anyways

How much litter is there everyday?
This would depend on whether the litter in question is clumping or classic, and whether the cat is indoor only or indoor / outdoor. It also depends on where you are and what the local litter prices are. A 15-pound (7 kg) bin of clumping litter will last a single indoor cat about 4 - 5 weeks. If you can find non-clumping litter, and if you clean it, and turn it over completely every day (so as to break up the wet spots and slow the bacterial action), 7kg should last a single indoor cat about 6 to 8 weeks. An outdoor cat will urinate outdoors by preference, to mark his territory. 7kg of litter may last an outdoor cat as long as 4 to 6 months, but it still must be cleaned daily, and turned over completely, in case he chooses to urinate indoors.
Why cats go in litter?
When the litter is manufactured the manufacture puts chemicals in the litter that the cats like and it attracts the cats. Same thing with scratching posts and other accessories for your cat.
Is kitty litter toxic to dogs?
Cat litter is generally not considered to be toxic, in that there are generally no chemicals in cat litter that have an identified toxicologic agent that causes a defined set of physiologic problems. However, dogs should not eat cat litter, particularly clumping cat litter, because the litter can cause gastrointestinal obstruction and general gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhea, etc).
How do you train your cat to stop using the litter tray?
How odd. Most people want to train their cats to use the litter tray, not to train them to stop using it. If you don't want your cat to use the litter tray, that's easy; remove the tray. If the tray is not there, the cat cannot use it. Move the litter tray outdoors to get your cat used to going outside and then, eventually, remove the litter tray completely.
Do domesticated cats use litter boxes?
Yes, they do. If they do not, there is likely a different reason. Make sure that the cat knows where the litter box is. Make sure to scoop it daily, and completely change out the litter at least once a week (for clay litters; 2 weeks for clumping litters). If that doesn't work, try spraying the feline product "Feliway" where the cat urinates/uses outside the litter, as this may be stress related. Also have the cat fixed, in case it is territorial.
