Since we adopted Tilly 4 months ago she has always used an open litter tray (with no roof/hood etc) and this has worked fine for her but we are getting fed up of the litter flying over the sides and on to the carpet - she is so messy! Also, as it's quite close to the kitchen we don't like the sight or smell of her poo so we end up scooping and covering constantly. We have decided to get her a new litter tray with a roof on but there are a few questions i have:

Do you think there will be any problems in Tilly adjusting from an open tray to a hooded one - i am abit worried she might not like the change use and will start doing it around the house instead. If you have had experience of this, what can we do to make the transition easier for her?

Are the litter trays with the roofs on effective at stopping litter coming out onto the floor and does it mask the smell better (we aren't going to have one with a flap on though).

Any advice/experience welcome, want to make sure i'm fully prepared!
