How often do you change the pellets? The pads? I have two cats. I'm just trying to figure out what intervals I should set up for the subscribe and save for each item. Thanks.

I find with my two cats I follow the 1/week for pads and 1/month for litter, like the company recommends with 1 cat. The pad is really full at the end of the week, but still holds everything. Your kitties might pee more, which would mean changing the pad a little more. I find the pellets start smelling around the 3.5 week mark, so 4 weeks works great.

Like the other reviewers here, I have two cats and find that I need to change the pad once a week and the pellets every 1-1.5 months. Works like a charm!

I agree w/ the other reviewer. I have two cats, and we change the pad 1x/wk, and probably change the pellets every 1-2m. Not a problem.

I don't use it anymore because my cat died after 18 yrs. but I also looked for alternatives and I think anything that doesn't drop through the holes would work. I will be looking for an alternative when I get another cat. Love the system, but the pellets are too rough on their paws. I say try it!!

I'm wondering this as well - we have a cat that will not use a litter box but will use puppy pads.... thinking of trying one of these. Anybody try this yet?

My cat gets a half a packet in the morning and half in the evening. I just fold the packet over and leave it on my counter. My vet recommended a packet a day so that works for me.

we change ours every week and a half or so for two cats. It was about every 2 weeks when we had just 1 cat. The waste gets raked into the box on the side. The crystals are awesome...my house NEVER smells like we have cats! Totally worth having!

We have an old cat that must eat very small amounts very often. We set the feeder to deliver food once an hour in very small quantities. The timer allows you to dispense food as often as every 15 minutes for the full 24 hr day. We dispensed at 1x per hour. The feeder is also adjustable to allow for different size dry pellets but not sure if a tablespoon quantitiy could be dropped, but we drop very small quantities. If you decide to purchase, I would look at the digital timer instead of the analog mechanical one as that part was the only negative issue we have experienced. The sales folks at Superfeeder were also very helpful so I would contact them too with any questions. We have an old cat that must eat very small amounts very often.

To tell u the truth I use 1 at a time and usually add a second bag over 2 weeks or so. I usually do a deep clean every 3 weeks and change it out completely. I guess it depends on how many cats are using it too. I have 4 cats sharing 3 boxes (they don't use 1 of them for some odd reason).

safe for whom, the cat or the skitter critter? The cat will be fine, the skitter critter on the other hand, you might have trouble finding it again. Somewhere in my house are two from the first batch and one from the second batch. Occasionally I find one that I had given up on when looking for a current one. Then we have a couple going at the same time. Currently have one in hiding again. WHERE does he put these things? Sure likes them though. I'm tempted to open up batch #3 and put another on into service. I like having more than one at a time.

I do not change mine often, as you can just add pellets as needed. The pads actually hold the odor, but the pellets do not smell. Hope this helps!

I have one cat and she uses the fountain constantly. I find I change the filters about once a month. I don't find $6 for a pack of three to be expensive and would happily change them more often but it really doesn't seem to need it. My cat is quick to tell me when she wants fresh water and I also use pre-filtered water from the refrigerator.

My cat prefers cat food. I've been using this system for years and I've never seen her even attempt to eat a pellet. Maybe it's because I don't portion control my cat's food. If you do, and your cat attempts to eat one, I would stop using it. Though, I can't see a cat preferring to eat something that they poop and pee on.

The direction say every 3-6 weeks. I tend to go about 6 weeks. My dogs and cats love the fresh water. I notice they drink a lot more than they ueds too. I think the water must taste better! LOL

Question...did you get the Litter Robot for your eight cats? I'm in the same position of having 8 rescue kitties and wanting some relief from catbox duty. Currently I use 4 huge Sterilite plastic storage boxes with 40 pounds of Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat litter per box. While I'm totally sold on the litter, scooping is still bothersome. But this box is really, REALLY expensive, so I'm asking around to anyone who has more than the usual complement of 2 cats.

I've used a variety of crystal litters without problem. Still trying to decide which litter I like best :)

When a cat eats any litter it can be a problem so it's something you need to pay attention to. If they eat these pellets, try something else or don't use any (2 of my boxes that are dog accessible have no pellets, but the cats still use them). No need to stop using the Breeze boxes with their pads though. Just experiment with different litters.

I have three senior dogs. My unit goes 24/7 at one of the higher settings, but to tell you what settings to use, I suggest you tinker around with what will work for your "fur babies." You did not say how many, or if they were dogs or cats. That might make a difference. I do like my unit. Follow the directions on cleaning and I think you will be happy with your gift. Joan

there are four pads to each of the smaller packages, enough to last four weeks. I have one cat and only have to change the pad once a week for the one cat. The pellets last four weeks. If you have multiple cats, the Breeze system would not be practical.
