Kind of! But ideally something where the pellets never need to be replaced and would instead be washed, something like the CatGenie plasticky granules.
Which is where I think the odour would come in... if the pellets are not not absorbent, then there's no real mechanism to neutralize the smell...
Yes I tried that for my previous cats. It costs a fortune and it tracks all over, I can’t remember how it for now in terms of humidity and moisture. if I could get them to use the CatGenie, which is like a toilet, that would be perfect. CLIN was using that alone after civil passed away. Once I...
With that it would have to be made out of something that in the end would not be biodegradable or easily recycled. Some will always stick to poos, so you'd be throwing out plastic, metal etc (stone might be okay for that I guess).
So you'd have to consider if the if the eco cost (cost to...
I had trouble with Natural Balance and humidity. Though it is reasonably priced here.
I've never used a automatic litter or anything similar as I think it's important to be able to see their "output" for knowing how their health is.
Nobel played immediately before and after he had blood in his...
Sybil had a pee problem her whole life, she always used regular litters/boxes for poop but someone before we adopted her trained her to pee on paper... anyway the point is they can get pee issues etc. no matter whether they use a box or not. Nothing I did made a difference. She actually may have...
I have never had this issue of sticking or this wet cement terrible sticking except with certain clay litters. It seems like they turn into cement but they are still wet and it’s impossible to get them out of there.
I remember this happening in the past too maybe but it’s only with certain...
I tried those but once the hole got bigger Quinn did not like it. And Angie would pee but not poop, also once the hole was bigger she was worried I think. I think the fact that it was inconsistent with people not opening the door and removing the cat training device, not leaving the lid up...
Some litters as the grains rub together will cause dust, but the clumping agent is always a dust as it is a fine powder.
It's why for many cats with chronic urinary issues, you have to use a non-clumping litter.
Paper litters tend to be the least dusty mostly because they don't have clumping...
I don't know about the Litter Robot, but Littermaid seems fairly straightforward. I haven't fully dismantled them for a full cleaning, but the tray part detaches and is as easily washed as any litterbox.
I bought a CatGenie off Marketplace a couple years ago but because it needs to be hooked...
Thanks I am reading your post. The first litter I used for him was wbcl, which he rejected using or the box etc. for 2-3 days. I think that was out of the fear of being inside maybe I’m not sure. After he started using the boxes once he did poop and not coverage I think from territorial stress...
Unfortunately I’m allergic to grass so I don’t think I could use that. I do remember trying one of those years ago and it was so fine and it got tracked all over the place so I didn’t continue with it. I have been using worlds best cat litter for a few years now. It’s pretty good but I have...
Hi everybody,
CatGenie is probably going to hate me for saying this, but it is pretty useful when you are desperate:
Yesterday, I ran out of SaniSolution for my kitties' CatGenie and due to COVID here, the shipping has been super slow, and the SaniSolution cartridge has not reached me yet. The...
Which litter do you use? I use world’s best cat litter which is not too bad. Every so often I need to throw it all away, clean and wash the box, and start fresh. Baking soda added to the litter can help. Sometimes the clay litters are worse. Some litters have deodorants and odor eliminators...
Reusuable pee pads? I use the throw aways around he outside of the box on the floor. But only change them if they get used or dirty etc.
my guys will not use the hooded ones etc now. Or the one with the lid… I have one in the garage that still has a hood I think Quinn is using it occasionally...
So even though I have 4 boxes all my guys are now only using Zena‘s box in the studio. I changed it to my biggest stainless steel with a plastic side panel thing. When I trapped him he was not using the box and would only use wee pads in the cage but I slowly trained him to the box. At some...
Gorgeous babies. Thanks for the info, I will check out the third party chip too. When I took Merlin in 2 years ago I had trained him on a regular box in the room he was in. Quinn was still using his catgenie. But I can’t get him or Merlin to use it now so we are back to a regular box again. I...
My mom wants to buy a catgenie self cleaning toilet for her house. She has 4 cats, 3 indoor & 1 reformed feral that potties outside. She tried a crystal automatic litter box and they hated it. So my question is will they use it or just keep using their regular litter boxes? Any ideas to get...
The ones with the whole in the top become difficult for them as they age so I've never tried one.
I do find that if something is going on with them that they prefer the lid off here. But you have many boxes so they are perhaps just using their prefered space or box type.
I got one of those...
Thanks 😀 I have liked worlds best but they won’t use that box now and Zena seemed to not like it. But maybe I can switch them back.
That is good she likes the crystals, I tired them years ago but my cats did not like the feel on their paws and it smelled so bad etc. I have not tried the new...
