A good clumping litter. I used Scoop Away. I no longer have this litter box

Fine, clumping litter that has the smallest amount of dust because you shake it up every time you change it. I like the box just fine and prefer it to my old one. Clips held fine. The only thing is that my cats are very big and occasionally they walk straight in and the poop falls outside the box, but that happens with other boxes, too. Just don't overfill because the door is a little low and if they are aggressive buriers it can go out the doorway. Just have a good mat outside the door. I really love ours!

You can use either clumping or non- clumping. I was very disappointed in the box; it's made cheap. The fasteners came loose and spilled the litter. I stopped using it after a couple of days. As a new cat owner, I have been disappointed in the choice of available litter boxes. None of them do anything. What I hate most is having to get down on my knees to service them. Cats are jumpers so there is no reason a litter box has to be so low. I use clumping litter and have to take a putty knife to scrape it off the sides. I have been so disappointed in the available boxes that I have spent the last three months inventing a Litter Console that takes care of most of the problems we all hate. Mine is 90% finished; you push a few levers, and it does the cleaning. Anyone who hates servicing a dirty litter box will love it. I expect to have to mine finished in the next few weeks. It is not made of plastic and looks like a piece of furniture. If you want to check back with me, I will let you know when it is ready.

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.)

You can try using the World's Best Cat Litter in the Litter-Robot; however, it does tend to hold moisture, which can cause problems. Our recommendation is to use the clay clumping litter since it works best..Let us know if we can be of further assistance.Regards, Litter-Robot Team

In my experience Standard wood pellets don't absorb liquid very well or neutralize odors efficiently. Pellets are fine if you use more and are prepared to change the litter every day. I might go back if I had a cheap enough source.

I would only use crystal-type litter because of the fact that the urine needs to be fully absorbed in order for it to not smell for the week or two that it will sit there. The only problem will be the tray itself. They aren't exactly re-usable, although you can buy a plastic replacement tray (specifically for using with your own litter), but it must be washed each time you change it. If you're up for the hassle, it is possible, otherwise I would definitely not recommend re-using the cardboard trays as they will not hold up for long.

That would be a lot of litter. Usually about 3-4 inches of litter should go in the box. It depends on how many cats will be using it, how big your litter box is and the frequency you will be cleaning it.What size box will you be using?

It needs a litter that says "premium". It can be any brand but needs to clump.

My best recommendation would be to: (1) make sure you're using a tightly clumping litter, and (2) make sure you're adding just plain baking soda to be collection bin and the litter itself. This should help immensely. :)

Yes. I use clumping litter and it works just fine. As long as the cat doesn't drag out a large chunk of poop or something it will fall through just fine.

Any litter works, although I do like any brand that clumps. The pans are great.

If you can keep the machine running at all for any length of time I would guess you could use that litter. The company has sent me FOUR of these machines because they keep breaking down. The concept is wonderful.

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.

Be glad you don't have a large cat trying to use normal litter boxes. Instead, try looking for other plastic storage boxes like sweater boxes or storage boxes for under beds. Any plastic container that will hold litter and be big enough for your cat will work as a litter box, it does not have to be labeled as such.

You can shake out the pellets to remove solid waste (assuming Feline Pine is the non clumping variety). I use both Yesterday's News which is like Feline Pine I think and The World's Best Cat Litter (which really is the best hands down).

I originally used the suggested litter... worked great BUT the urine smell became horrible. It would just sit on the bottom and build up... currently I use the clumping litter and the problem now is that the hole is not big enough to allow the pee clump to pass through...

I would recommend using any kind of clumping litter. If the pine litter is not clumping, then I wouldn't recommend it. I currently use Scoop Away Clumping Litter. It seems to do a really good job. The biggest difference between the Litter Robot and a normal litter box is there is no smell with the Litter Robot. We have it in our laundry room, and before my wife was afraid to hang clothes to dry in there when we had a regular litter box because they would smell like the litter box. Now, you wouldn't even know it is there.

We replaced our entire litter with it.. normally we use the litter that is recycled newspaper that is made into little pellets.. so after a while, we kind of did a mix of both, since the Cat Attract is kind of pricey.. its been working that way ever since.. but like most things, it will come down to your specific cat I imagine.
