Igloo Cats Launch First 2-in-1 Cat Loo & Carrier

Inspired by Naomi Walton a student of St Martin’s School of Art, comes the stylish and practical igloo 2-in-1 Cat Loo and Carrier. The disposal system developed for the igloo is a breakthrough in product design for cat owners. Using specially designed liners avoids the risk of contamination from cat waste and the health issues associated with it. No other litter tray has such a hygienic and easy to use system. The cat loo liners are ridged and specially moulded to fit exactly in the bottom of the tray. Liners are simply removed and disposed off along with used litter. Not only is the igloo a brilliant cat loo it is also a great cat carrier too. Combining these two functions in one product is also a totally new concept.
