Hello all. First post here and I'm looking forward to learning and sharing cat info. w/ all of you. I'm a big ol' softie when it comes to my cats. We have 4 inside and 4 outside. I'm just about at my wits end w/ litter box trouble. I'm sure this is prob. a common theme around here so please humor me w/ one more thread about them. We currently have 4 boxes for our 4 cats. They are cleaned once a day which is prob. not enough. They let me know this by using the boxes 50% of the time and the floor just outside the remainder. Even if they're cleaned several times/daily, we have 2(himylayan persians)sp. that hardly ever use them for urinating. I was thinking of trying the cat genie over the litter robot as far as auto-boxes are concerned. Primarily b/c I've tried the covered boxes before and they're not too receptive to them. I like the looks of the cat genie but it seems to have alot of moving parts and fairly pricey. But money is no object if it will help w/ my problem. What do you all think of it or any other auto cleaning boxes? I have also entertained getting 2 big and deep boxes for them instead of the 4 med. size pans. Any suggestions are most appreciated. Sorry for the long winded post here.
