Thank you for the offer, but because tough litter trays are hard to find (at least as a basic model) I bought three to rotate them and extend their life. So I've still got two I can use for the moment. Hopefully they will last for a good while, though you never can tell when the issue is plastic that may split.
Re the damaged one, good news. I messaged the seller and he offered me a partial refund which I accepted. I got a PayPal message to confirm it has been paid. So it's all good.
PS I know exactly what you mean about the scratching. My current cat is like all the others I have known over the years - she does her best to dig her way to China. 😉 I put litter liners in her tray (they are supposed to be the best on the market) and she puts tiny holes in those. Still, they've made it easier to remove all the clay when it's time to clean the tray. It would be better though if plastic liners were of the thickness of heavy duty garbage bags IMO.
