would this be good to scoop cat litter poop into? I think I read the opening is very small. Might need something bigger when scooping.

I assume you're asking because your space is too small for even the littlest kitty litter box, so I'll say it's feasible if you use a small scoop. The opening is large enough for that but you'd need to be careful not to spill if you knocked against the side accidentally while trying to put the scooped litter, etc. in there. Hope this helps!

I use an empty plastic cat litter container with a flip lid. They seal well and there is little odor. When finished, I put the container with the used litter into the garbage can for trash collection.

That all depends on your cats digging technique. If he or she is a digger then put in more litter. The good thing about this one is it's minimal dust. Regardless whether it's a lot of litter or a little bit, you'll only scoop up what's left there whether it's pee or poop, it will still be the same volume you're scooping out whether it's a lot of litter or not. The more litter there is the less chances it seeping through to the bottom of your litter box which will make it dirty faster. Sometimes too much litter and the cat will go crazy digging - all depends on your cat's bathroom preference.

I would not recommend for kitty litter. It's not deep enough. My cats would have litter every where.

The opening is 5.5 inches wide at its widest point. The scoop is about 4.5 inches wide. My observation is that this opening will indeed be too small for many scoops, and it seems very clear that the scoop that comes with the unit is custom-made for the unit. I found the small size of the scoop a bit of an adjustment, but now it's perfectly fine for me. This of course is a matter of personal preference. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. I am still absolutely sold on this product.

Yes, opening is big enough for a standard size spade or scoop, but I'd suggest just putting a bin, tray, box below, rolling it to a dump-a-able point and pulling/dumping the amount you want out.

Absolutely not! The first Littermaid I owned was wonderful and lasted over 5 years with 2 cats. In the past year I've bought, returned, bought another, returned it, too, bought another and didn't bother to return it. Sad to say, but I've given up. So..... I scoop a few times a day. I don't have a solution, but would love to have a product as good as my first one.

This is primarily a pooper scooper. It is very strong. If you use it for picking up small toys, etc. It would be fine. The bottom of it has claw like so you would have to watch it on carpet. It would save your back, that is for sure.

Hi Bethany, unfortunately for my case, this thing never worked. No vacuum at all. Even if it did, I think it will be too tiny to work for a cat litter.

The entrance is 5 1/2" off the floor, so expect some litter to get kicked out. I keep plastic mats at the entrance. Also recommend a metal scooper shaped like a spatula that will easility scoop out the rounded shape of this box.

I have one for my dogs. I don't see why it wouldn't also work for a litter box

I have a small rabbit that barely fits this, and a slightly larger rabbit that it does not fit at all. I would go with a larger model if I were you. Personally I use a cat litter box called the lift n sift because it can hold hay while catching poop and pee and is very easy to clean. My buns had a habit of peeing on the floor next to their food.

I haven't tried it on cat litter, but I think in a pinch it would work great, but if its large amounts though, I would probably consider something else.

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.

That's why I bought it (several of mine miss). So far, seems to be working. Granted, it depends on how far away from the litter box your cat goes. But there's a shallow dip a few inches from the edge that may catch a little bit of liquid. Large volumes may be more problematic (it doesn't absorb anything as it's plastic).

I can't know just how small you mean but the litter I use (Pure Nature from Tidy Cats) does not clump the best so there's always small bits of damp or wet litter in the box and this scoop catches most of them. This scooper works better for me than any other one I've ever used!

The opening is just about--my cat is a little bigger--but the pan itself is small for that size cat. A big cat will find footing difficult, and may send the litter box falling over (happened with mine). She has a pan a couple sizes up that's better, and my smaller 10 lb kitty uses the CP6 fine.

If you mean, is the box large enough to keep the litter or sand inside the box and would it be appropriate for digging, my answer would be that my cat digs in the litter before he uses it. The box keeps the litter inside, except for some that may come out when he jumps out.
