Has anyone used this with lighter weight clumping litter (like Tidy Cat naturals?) Does it sift well using light litter?

I use Fresh Step and the sifter works well with that brand. None of the sifters is perfect and a cat with claws will find it tempting to rearrange so keep plenty of litter in the box.

I have been using that litter too. It works great. The Natures Morcle does work better ansorbing liquids and meeping the oder down. The down side is you have to guess how much to put in and does mot fill the pan as much. I do not get as long with the Mimi litter before I have to change it, but for the price it is a great product.

I think so. I have tried every litter on the market and I am sold on this one. It clumps so well that when you scoop, it doesn't crumble the urine clumps like some do. I don't ever fully change out the litter like I used to, I just add more as needed. I also think their litter boxes, though pricy, are well worth the investment as well.

I use Natures Miracle intense defense clumping cat litter (PetSmart). It comes in a 40 lb bag (It may come smaller-- havent looked). I saved back a couple of Tidy Cats jugs (Tidy Cats DOSENT Work for me) and put the Matures Miracle in them for handy use. I have 2 litter boxes 1 upstairs and one downstairs and the stuff really works! if the hopper is stinky just put a cup or so of the litter in it the Contious Clean does a very good job of sifting out unclumped litter and only a bit of the loose stuff ends up in the hopper. Sometimes thats not enough to control the stinky stuff. Also I have the boxes on timers that runs 2 hours twice a day. I got those at Home Depot the 2 pack of GE times was only about $10.00. I think having the box run 4 hours a day instead of 24 hours a day will help extend the life of the things and having the waste sit buried with litter may help kill the odor. (Dosen't keep things stirred up all the time.)

I don't recommend doing so. There is a rack that combs through the litter that is meant for moving the cat poop but not necessarily a clump of litter.

I use mine with paper litter but you could ask them. Here's a link http://www.preciouscat.com/contact-us/

We usually try to clean it every three months. If you use a premium clumping litter, it should work well. We only use for one cat in our household. No, the cover doesn't interfere with the waste collection. Our only issue was the turn table motor on the first unit died after a year and a half and we replaced the entire unit. This really has reduced the box odor. We dump the collection bag every three/four days.

The Arm & Hammer works very well. Quick, firm clumps. But I also use Tidy Cat multiple cat. Works a treat.

This is great for cats with declawed or not. When you fill it with clumping litter it is deep enough that the cat does not rip the liners. I have not had a problem. clumping happens and the rest of the litter sifts through. place in disposable bag and put in more clumping type litter. I would recomed this product. I found something similar at Walmart but couldnt find them so orderd through amazon.

This litter doesn't track any worse than any other I've used. It mostly depends on how enthusiastically the cat covers what he/she has done, and how much time spent rooting around in the box. I sweep around the boxes whenever I scoop, just as a matter of course...

it depends if it is mostly fluid depending on the type of clumping litter you use it should act as if it were urine but if its really wet and chunky you are more likely to end up with a mess on your hands in the tines of the rake... this unit seems to be uneven in terms of quality control.... if you get a good one great but there are just as many others who got one that was unreliable

Works great, regular clumping litter will give you problems but this stuff is great. It does not clump.

Any clumping litter is good. I use Fresh Step. My cat did not like Arm and Hammer and Scop Away. He is rather fussy. I used both of those at one time or another and they served the clumping well. He just prefers Fresh Step. One thing i have learned with the Littermaid. Be sure the one you have has a litter bed appropriate for the size of your cat or you will have trouble with the litter clumping because the cat will be constantly urinating on the same wet area and it will not clump if he has no space to scratch and cover which is their natural instinct. I just realized that since I downgraded to a cheaper version of littermaid box and caught him not fitting in the box as he should. He puts is front paws on the back of the box in order to fit. As soon as I get enough money saved I am going to get him the $129 version that he originally had. I would checkl to see if your cat fits in the litter box comfortably so that he can scratch the litter when he is done and help the clumping process along.

If you are using the scoopfree do not use the clumping. It can jam the mechanism and burn out the motor. Walmart carries an inexpensive crystal litter that works great.

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.

This litter will track! I find it on the floors and furniture. I would discourage use by a Maine Coon however -- mine has clumps stuck to his feet, and I'm trying to remove them without hurting the boy. Dr Elsey customer service pointed out that they make a litter for long haired cats, but the price is exorbitant! I'm going to go with a non clumping variety, like Feline Pine, and see how that works.

I use a walnut litter and it works great. The pee clumps do stick to the bottom of the pan base; so as you turn I just use my scooper to jostle it loose a little. I can't seem to find the bags for the base anywhere :[
