Georplast Galaxy Deluxe is a hooded cat litter box measuring 45×36×31.5 cm with a carbon filter. It's made of good-quality non-toxic plastic with a smooth, scratch- and chip-resistant surface that washes easily and doesn't absorb odours. The hood fastens to the base with side clips and has a carry handle, and the entrance has a removable plastic flap that swings easily as your cat goes in and out. The enclosed design gives your pet privacy and keeps litter from scattering around your home.
A compact size
A 45×36 cm base suits small and medium cats, adolescent kittens and flats short on space: it fits into an alcove, under a sink or in a bathroom corner. For large breeds such as Maine Coons, Norwegian Forest Cats or heavy British Shorthairs, choose a roomier model such as the Georplast Vicky 54×39×39 cm. Your cat should be able to turn around inside and stand without touching the roof. More in which litter tray to choose.

Getting your cat used to it
The manufacturer suggests removing the flap at first so your cat has free access to the litter. Once your cat uses the box confidently, refit the flap and check that it can get in and out. Familiar litter mixed with a little used litter from the old tray also helps. If your cat goes elsewhere, see cat not using the litter box: what to do.
For kittens
The compact box suits older kittens that already use a tray confidently. Very young kittens find an open, low-sided tray easier and can move to the box later. On the first steps, see how to litter-train a kitten.
Which litter
Any litter works in a hooded box, but clumping litter is easiest — clumps are simple to reach through the entrance or with the hood off. Unscented litters are better, as fragrance is stronger in a small enclosed space; for example, the unscented soy AnimAll Tofu Classic. More in how to choose cat litter.
Care
Scoop daily. When you change the litter completely, unclip the hood, wash both parts in warm water with a mild, unscented cleaner and dry them. Replace the carbon filter periodically. A mat underneath helps, such as the Trixie Litter Tray Mat.
Where to put it
Choose a quiet spot where your cat won't be disturbed, away from the food bowls. Leave clear space in front of the entrance so your cat can come and go calmly. More models are in the cat litter boxes section.
Multi-cat homes
Feline behaviourists advise having one more litter box than you have cats, in different places. The compact Galaxy Deluxe works well as an extra box: it takes little space and the hood keeps litter in. Make sure one cat isn't guarding the entrance and blocking another from using it — that can happen with a single-entry hooded box.
Who it suits
Owners of small and medium cats, older kittens, and anyone short on space who wants a hooded box with a filter that won't take over the bathroom.
Verdict
The Georplast Galaxy Deluxe is a compact 45×36×31.5 cm hooded litter box with a carbon filter, removable flap, handle and clips: it keeps litter in, reduces odour and saves space. The downsides are that large cats may find it cramped, and it needs daily scooping and periodic filter changes.
