Does this work well with long haired cats and clumping litter?

I can't speak to the long hair - I have British Shorthairs - but for the most part it does work with clumping litter. I say for the most part because every once in a while "someone" - i.e., the little boy - will get a bit over excited about pawing the litter and if his paw gets wet the litter will hang around until he has moved beyond the mat and litter box. I would say this happens once ever couple of months, so it doesn't impact my overall satisfaction with the mat.Hope this helps!

My experience has been that as long as you don't use the new light weight clumping litter, it works pretty well. My only complaint is that cat food sticks in it if the food bowl is close.

I only use clumping litter, but even then there is residue on paws that track. That is what this may helps to catch. I don't think it would matter if the cat had long hair.

unless the cat has long hair that makes the litter stick to the paws, this works for catching most the litter thats on the paws.

We used Arm & Hammer, which was okay, and then Cat Attract for two years after some litter use problems caused by recurrent UTI's, and now we've switched it over to Tidy Cat (Cat Attract being rather more expensive). We've had no problems with those three litters. The rake mechanism can get burnt out on clumps, but that really comes with any litter. Id say overall it worked fine with ours as long as i maintained cleaning put the waste compartment. Hope that helps. Test it put for a week or so and see how its working with yours, as every system can have its own issues.

I highly believe it does. The mat has small circles through out that seem to catch the litter fine, there is also a slight indent around the edge that allows you to sweep the cat litter to that section and fold it to clean it off and the mat uses the same fabric as a yoga mat which is suprisingly amazing.

I have 5 cats and 1 is long haired I think you should always vacuum first. The basket did collect hair and was easy to clean

I mostly use the vacuum to clean up around the litter boxes. That fine powder and hair coats the filter until it's pretty darn thick, and I've never seen it lose any noticeable amount of suction. So for me, no, it doesn't seem to clog at all.

It should work for this, I have cats and I do see cat hair in my lint trap.

Cat hairs: terrific. I have two cats and it was able to get a bunch off from carpet about 3 hours after I had vacuumed with my old vacuum. Best vacuum I have ever had for hairs. It does okay on my two rooms that have vinyl. One is my bathroom and it picks up all the litter around the litter pan. The brush attachment works well on hairs on furniture. There is nothing I dislike about this vacuum. The only drawback is that it is a little heavy, but it is still very easy to push. Hopes this helps.

You asked the right person. I have two cats. It picks up both kinds of litter as well as dry cat food pieces.

That i am nit 100% sure. It is made for any clumping litter. However when we first got it and put tidy cats in, it didn't work that great we tried a few other brands and came across a cheap generic brand at aldi (local grocer like save a lot) so we use the 3.99 litter every 4-6 weeks. Never smell anything and itis fantastic!

I use Tidy Cat and I have been for several years. I have 2 grown cats and this litter works well and the cats seem to like it and it is fairly inexpensive which allows me to change the litter more often as needed. Hope this helps.

If it clumps hard it should work great. We've found we like Tidy Cats Multiple Cat formula scoop able litter the best for performance and odor control.

I have really long and fine hair. It is breaking all of the time, and getting everywhere. This vacuum has no trouble picking up what I should be vacuuming up more often. I recommend this vacuum for even the longest hair cat.

It depends on the litter used, but with our Arm and hammer super scoop, it does not clog.

I have 4 dogs and 3 cats and I think it works good. It tends to clump hair in balls on the carpet that your vacuum misses and then you just vacuum it up when the carpet is done.

Yes it does work very well with the automatic litter box. A word of caution, my cat does not like either the smell or the feel of it and will no longer use the litter. I had to resort back to clumping litter and a normal litter box.

We use Tidy Cats type (not clay) clumping litter and it works well. I don't know how big the granules of the walnut-based litter would be. There are slots that the litter falls thru as the tray turns on its side for the clumps to fall down past into the pan and then it fills back up when you return the handle. If the granules are about the same size it should work fine.

It works great on pet hair! I have 2 indoor-outdoor cats. The Hoover Platinum vacuum system is very effective at cleaning up fur, dander, and any debris the cats bring in from outside. The bags collect everything and seal it inside. The upright vacuum cleans up pet hair from the carpets and hard floors. The canister vacuum cleans upholstery and cleans up corners, baseboard, all those hard-to-get-at spots. These vacuums are lightweight, easy to use, and do an excellent job.
