Portuguese translation:Areia sanitária para gatos
Explanation:
Notice that 'cat litter' is actually the substance put inside the box (a kind of sand) and not the box itself (which, perhaps unsurprisingly, is called a 'cat litter box' ('liteira' in Portuguese, an interesting mix of lit- (from English 'litter') and Portuguese suffix '-eira' meaning container.

liteira/areia para gato


Explanation:
Pode ser realmente a caixa de areia para gato, ou bandeja higiénica, bem como a areia para gato. O objeto também é conhecido por liteira.
Deixo as duas sugestões, pois as traduções "despejar a areia para gato" ou "despejar a liteira" fazem ambas sentido.

https://www.infopedia.pt/dicionarios/ingles-portugues/cat#ca...

A liteira ou caixa de areia é um artefato sanitário utilizado para que alguns animais como gatos, coelhos, furões, chinchilas, entre outros, façam suas necessidades.[1]
