Best litter box for Bengal cats who shred liners

Liner destruction is basically a Bengal speciality — they dig like they're searching for buried treasure, and no bag survives that for long. Before I point you toward a good liner-free setup, most litter boxes are too small to begin with: cats need a tray at least 1.5 times their body length to dig and turn comfortably, and covered boxes often make things worse because cats feel trapped. So — how many cats do you have, how big is your Bengal, and beyond the liner issue, are there any other problems like litter scatter or tracking?

A 5kg Bengal is a solid cat — you're looking at a tray roughly 60cm long at minimum to give him real room to dig without feeling squeezed. What tray are you using at the moment, and roughly how deep is it? That'll help me figure out whether scatter is likely to become your next complaint once the liner is gone.

That tray is almost certainly too small and too shallow for him — which is probably why he's digging so aggressively, he doesn't have enough room or depth to feel satisfied. Here's what I'd get: the Savic Senator 50 open litter tray. It's 51cm long and has genuinely high sides — around 12cm at the back — so it gives a big cat proper digging space and keeps most of the litter contained without needing a lid. No corners or ridges where liners used to bunch up, just a smooth polypropylene surface that wipes clean easily. You pour litter straight in, scoop daily, and tip the whole thing every couple of weeks. Bengals typically take to open high-sided trays much better than covered ones, and at his size this will actually fit him. It's around £20–25 on Amazon UK and genuinely built to last.

Smoother is better for cleaning — rough or textured surfaces grip waste and odour, while smooth polypropylene wipes down with almost no effort. A quick rinse with warm water and a pet-safe disinfectant and you're done. The Savic Senator is notably easy to clean for exactly this reason. If any litter cakes onto the base, a short soak loosens it straight away.

Good call. One tip: fill it deeper than you think you need to — about 8–10cm of litter. Bengals like to really bury things, and more depth means less scatter and a happier cat. You'll likely find he settles into a calmer digging routine once he actually has room to do it properly.
