Do you guys just sit around for your cat to poop?

This product seemed excellent at first.  But it simply is too good to be true.  Yes the pee smell is completely eliminated.  Taking a cue from those excellent puppy pee pads, this system is perfect for ridding yourself of cat pee once in for all.  And yes, it is true I never had a problem with litter getting outside of the box.

However, the biggest problem/design flaw (and it is a big one) is the way the system handles poop.  There is absolutely nothing done for the smell of poop and you are expect to find poop as soon as it happens and dispose of it appropriately.  This is all well and good if you happen to work at home, be a stay at home husband/wife, however in the real world-we working class.  I don't sit around at home all day waiting for my cat to poop.  I clean the litter box when I get back from work.

Well after using this for a week, I am absolutely tired of coming home to an apartment (seriously, who is saying this is perfect for small living arrangements) filled with the smell of cat poop.  My old litter box would sometimes smell badly when I came home, though not too bad, nothing a little candle warmer couldn't fix.

And you are certainly SOL if your cat gets slightly wet stool or THE nightmare for this thing, diarrhea.

Get a mat for under your litter box if your buying this because of that issue.

If Tidy Cats can handle the poop situation better, this thing would be perfect, but it simply isn't worth the headaches of terrible poop smells that fester and germ up through the day while I'm at work.

My cats seem to enjoy it and they have a healthy coat and a sufficient amount of energy when this is part of their diet. The downside is, their feces will absolutely wreak, it's awful. The smell almost burns your nostrils. So if you have an outdoor cat or rarely need to venture to within 100 feet of the litter box, you're fine. If you do, I'd recommend something else, for your sake.

My cat has loose stools.  As she covered them up, the whole lump was like a porcupine.  It would have taken days to dry (this defeats any odor control)  and stool was still stuck to the litter which had to be tossed in trash.  Litter lasted less than a week.  SOLUTION:  I have always used Feline Pine.  Great box for that.  Stir litter and sawdust falls into tray (do not need pads).  Dump sawdust into trash.  Scoop out stool and small amount of pine litter and dump in toilet.  Best Feline Pine Tray available!  Keeps a fresh batch of pine always on top.

You can definitely tell when your cat takes a dump as the pellets aren't that great at absorbing smells. In contrast, I can't smell the pee at all, the pads work so well. I didn't have to transition my 16 year-old cat - she didn't potty for a day, but that might have also been the fault of a move on the same day. Perfect for apartments or any home where you can't hide a smelly litter-box away from the daily hubbub. Scoop the poops ASAP because if they're stinky you'll smell them right away and until you throw it out. Listen to the recommendations and get multiples for multiple cats, or else you will suffer. The pellets supplied do seem a little low, but there seems to be no actual issue over it. Overall, so thankful for this because I've been cleaning a cat box for 13 years and multiple for 4, and the breeze is nearly impossible to smell and super easy to maintain.

P.S. soft poops will smudge on the sides, watch out and keep the tray clean so it doesn't get stinky.

UPDATE: Cheaper alternative products do work well, I'm using Amazon Cat Pads and Blue Buffalo Pellet Liter. Might not be as stink free but it is still significantly less smelly than a regular litter box setup. Clean the whole litter box everyonce in a while in a nice bleach and soap bath to keep smells from sinking into the plastic. Change litter often if you cat has soft or wet poops.

I've had cats for 30 years, and the mess with the litterbox fallout is always annoying.  This really cuts it down on the mess, I have it about 3" under the box and shake it out when I clean the box.  I just fold in in half (like a pizza slice) and let it down back into the box.

My cats have to poop. This is an unfortunate fact of life. Having to scoop it is the worst, so this lovely litter box definitely makes my life better, in that I can just roll it over and the poop is auto-scooped. A star disappears due to the fact that the plastic on the fence hinge ripped after just a couple of months of use.

Cats are more likely to shove it from it's counter top. And they still manage to play with the tp.. it is a never ending battle to stop perforated butt wipe.

I have 2 cats one that was outside at young age them turned into house cat his name is tokens.. and a rescue  his named bandit  he was a outside cat for a year so I figured  this toilet thing might take longer for him.  Tokens  he can. Go now without liner. Bandit cant tho and he's a younger cat .  .  So were stuck on 2nd step still and he still hasn't pooped in in...  like this system but it's way over prices.

After our father died, my sister inherited Duke, our dad's 4 month old orange tabby kitten.  My sister kept him for over a year, but decided she couldn't keep him anymore, so in 2010, I grudgingly adopted him.  (I'm sentimental and couldn't let a cat that once belonged to our dad end up in the hands of strangers.)  I am a rabid dog fanatic.  I like cats, but don't have the same enthusiasm for them that I do with dogs.  I never had a feline companion of my own, so Duke became my "starter cat".  Well, I turned out to be lucky.  Duke is not the hide-under-the-bed-and-hiss kind of cat.  He's adorable, funny, affectionate, and loves Slappy, my elderly German Shepherd mix.  He's definitely a keeper and I love him to pieces.  He's three years old now, and he's stuck with me for life.

So, being that Duke is my first cat, everything is a learning process.  I thought that semi-solid, extremely smelly poop was simply a variation of the norm for cats.  I was feeding Duke Before Grain, pretty much since the day I got him.  Duke liked it and had no problem scarfing it down.  (The little fattie will eat anything.)  I liked the quality ingredients and the lack of filler grains.  Meanwhile, his "Litter Box of Horrors" was a nightmare to clean.  The stench was overpowering.  Duke would do his business and the poop would stick to his legs.  I had to throw him in the shower several times a month.  Eventually, I had to follow him around the house with baby wipes after he used his litter box or else he'd leave stinky poop stains on my floor, couch, bed, or carpet.  I simply figured that since he's fat, he couldn't clean himself well.  I never attributed it to the food.  Why would I?  I assumed I was giving him the best.

Last year, he was treated for a urinary blockage caused by struvite crystals.  Then, a few months ago, while wiping his butt with baby wipes, I found blood.  Quite a bit of it.  I opened his litter box, and his stool was covered in blood.  Off to the vet we went.  No problems detected.  Lots of money spent.  I was told to put him on Hill's Science Diet.  That stuff is garbage and if ANY vet tells you to put your cat or dog on it, it's time to find a new vet.  Anyway, the bloody poop happened again a few days later.  I decided that yes, I was going to change his diet, but no, it wouldn't be Hill's Science Diet.  Taste of The Wild ended up being my choice.  Within days, all the problems went away.  Duke has very firm stool now, there's no blood, the litter box stench is more tolerable, and no more "Hershey's Kisses" on everything he sits on.  No more baby wipes and showers, so I don't have to hear his mournful cries when he's subjected to being scrubbed down.

I'm not saying that B.G. is a bad food, but I'm saying it was a very bad option for me and my cat.  There was something in there that my cat couldn't tolerate.  I won't buy it again.  I'll keep him on a combination of TOTW and raw.  It works for him.

Let's talk about animal poop.

INTERIOR SIZE:
First, I want to address the issue of size that I've seen on previous reviews.  I purchased the large box and it is plenty of room for kitty.  I only have 1 cat that I do not overfeed, so she isn't obese.  Could she stand to lose an ounce or two? Maybe, but you don't say these things to females.  I don't see the size of the box being an issue unless you have more than 2 cats or have obese cats.  Don't get me wrong, the box isn't a mansion, but still plenty of room.

EXTERIOR SIZE:
I find the box to be the same overall size as every other box I've ever had.  Nothing too huge and nothing too small either.  You can't hide this baby unless you're creative.

ASSEMBLY:
Easy to setup, but make sure you snap the top part of the box properly with the bottom half or you'll curse yourself later.  Easy to do, so just make sure you do it.

LITTER SPILL:
Some litter does get tossed out, but I suggest you not fill the litter all the way up. The litter actually sits pretty deep, so if you fill it halfway or so, there will be plenty of room for poop and much less litter will be scooped out of the box.

CLEANING:
Ah, cleaning.  I know you all love cleaning cat poop as much as I do and prefer the process to be dragged out for as long as possible, but alas this is not so with the Omega Self-Cleaning.  Now, it doesn't "self-clean", but I suppose that's just to get your attention.  Cleaning this box is too easy.  You tilt the box over and it filters the clean litter into its own compartment and the poopie will fall into what was the top right corner of the box.  Give it a little shake for any pieces that didn't roll over and you're done.  Now when you tilt it back, all of the poop will be in the convenient dispensing tray.  If this takes you more than 10 seconds, then you may have some form of retardation and I recommend getting an MRI done ASAP.  It is REALLY, easy. I actually enjoy doing it! That is a testament to either the brilliantly simple design of the box, or a bit of insight as to how easily I am amused.

PRICE:
I was VERY reluctant to pay $30 for this. Why?  I thought I could put that $30 towards a $100 self-cleaning box instead.  I battled with this and my soul raged against itself for many sleepless nights.  However, I had an epiphany and made the right decision.

VALUE:
For what this box does and the price you pay, you just can't beat it (that i know of).  Is it perfect? Of course not! Is it well worth the money and 20x better than a normal box? Hell yes.

THOUGHTS:
If you have 2 or less cats, which means you're still sane, and are looking for an inexpensive solution to making poop-maintenance easier, than this box is for you.  Your cat will love you for it and you will love yourself for it (maybe more than is healthy).

While my cat took to peeing in this box within a few days, she flat out refused to poop in it.  Every time she used her old box to poop (after I'd discontinued maintenance like the instructions said) I'd add more pellets to it, thinking she just needed to get used to the feel of the pellets when she was burying her waste.  After a week, her old box was a mix of 50/50 pellets and clumping clay litter.  It was pretty clear to me that she wasn't planning on using the new box to poop.  I see others have had this same issue, and I'm wondering what it is about pooping in this that some cats hate?  She is big on burying, so I wondered if she just needed more pellets in the new box, and added some.  Still no dice.  Finally, I was desperate.  I was not planning on maintaining two boxes for her just so she could poop in the clumping litter.  At the end of the first week I decided to make the decision for her, and removed her old box completely.  I decided to take the chance of having her poop on the floor, which she has never done.  After her dinner she went downstairs to do her business, peed, and came back upstairs without pooping.  After about an hour she started walking through the house meowing, which she did throughout the night.  She doesn't normally do that, so I knew she was "telling" us that she wanted to poop, and she wanted her old box to do it in.  After I went to sleep that night my husband locked her in the basement for an hour, and when he let her upstairs (after much complaining on her part) there was poop in her box!  Ever since then she's used it like a champ to pee and poop.  While I would not recommend that anyone try to force their cat to do this like we did, it worked for us.

This box is super easy to clean and you don't smell the pee at all with the tray in place!  I change the pad every Sunday, since Monday is our trash pickup day and I want to be able to put the pad right in the trash and out to the curb.  You can certainly smell the urine when you remove the tray, and I would not want the pad sitting around in the trash can.  My cat is a super-soaker, and I don't even have to change the pad more than once a week.  The clumping litter was awful in this aspect.  If I didn't get downstairs to clean her box for a few days, there would be huge clumps of pee stuck to the back of the box.  She mostly directs her pee back there, so I have to rotate the pad mid-week.  Every time I scoop the poop, which ends up being every other day, I sift the box to re-distribute the pellets.  She's still burying, but maybe with time she will stop doing that and it will be easier for me to remove the solid waste.  This system works great with our dog, too.  Before the Breeze system,  I had to worry about her "snacking" on the poop clumps in the box if she somehow got access to the basement, but now there aren't any.

No more heavy, messy, stinky, dusty, clumping litter!  No more hauling jugs or tubs of the stuff home!  No more throwing pounds upon pounds of clumping litter in the landfill!  No more tracking litter around the house, stinky litter box feet, and having my cat ingest litter when she cleans herself!  This is such a great idea.  It has got to be cleaner and healthier for everyone than the dusty clay litter.  I have not noticed a smell from the poop, but the box is in my basement, and she is still attempting to bury it.  Some of the pellets stick to her poop, so I have not been flushing it.  If you can get your cat to use it, it's the best system out there.

Great in theory but my cat used it once when I took it out of the box, now it just sits there.

We have several cats. They each like to have a personal one. We've found we really don't even need the base, just the inserts.

This will work depending on what cat you have. If you have a regular ol' cat that poops and pees occasionally and regularly, it works great. If you have a cat with diabetes or pees frequently or has sticky pee this is one giant mess.

I just keep this on the floor and when my cat is feeling frisky he will carry it around everywhere lol.  It's cute, but I think a little pouch for catnip would have really got the cats going.  Overall they play with it so it works for me.

Beyond stupid. Use flushable litter - and PUT CAT POOP IN THE TOILET WHERE POOP ACTUALLY DISAPPEARS! Why on earth would humans hoard turds in a bucket... inside their home... for weeks? WEEKS?!! Who spends good money for a bucket to stash poop?? Why? Hoping a big pile of fermenting kitty turds might turn into diamonds? Shocking reviews report: "After awhile the Genie begins to smell." Genius. Yes folks, there is good science to back up that statement. THINK ABOUT THIS DO YOU REALLY WANT OR NEED A POOP PIGGY BANK? Ewwww.
