Will I be able to use any type of cat litter?

You will have to use clumping cat litter. I have used brands Tidy Cat and Fresh Step.

No. You need to use PREMIUM clumping litter. The littermaid directions specify which kinds you should use, and if you don't use one of them, the machine will not work properly.

I don't think so because cats generally want to cover up their elimination. Plus, their stuff stinks pretty bad, so you definitely want to use cat litter for the benefit of you and the cat.

I asked the makers. Here is their answerThe reason we don't recommend using the additive with any alternative litters like wheat, corn, pine, paper etc. is that the additive works on a smell premise. The alternative litters do smell like their composition and will over ride the scent of the additive. It certainly won't cause any harm or reaction it just will not be effective

As long as you use a good clumping litter you should be OK. I usually use Scoop Away because it clumps well and I have 3 cats. The litter box is great. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have through the years.

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.

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.

I haven't tried anything but the chrystal litter but my guess would be no because the collection container is too small for the clumps. The crystal litter absorbs the urine and only the feces is scooped. It doesn't work as well on the odor either so it needs to be changed more often.

Works with any crystal litter...I only buy petco crystal litter....It's cheaper and does a great job..I have 2 cats and I change it 1 per week...If u travel this is the only way to go and it never smells..good luck

I think you need to use crystals, but like other people have said, there's a reusable tray you can buy and I also saw some other crystal litter (that is probably cheaper) that you can buy to go with that. So basically, it doesn't have to be ScoopFree necessarily, but I'm pretty sure it can't be anything but the crystal kind.

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

Yes. I used it for several years and it worked fine. My cat was an indoor-outdoor cat so I didn't have to change the litter very often - about once a month or so. You'll know when it's time to change it.

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

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.

I buy there Natures Miracle pine cat litter and mix it with clay litter. It smells good. I got 2 cats and I got to scoop poop everyday!

Yes.....don't use this litter for newborn kittens! They need either newspaper or some thing Sandy to get them to use it anyway. I know...because I have many cats that I raised and kept

It is not recommended to use other litter. The only litter I'd recommend besides the included crystals would be maybe another brand of crystals. But, I don't think that would help you because I think all crystal litters are basically the same. Clumping litter probably won't be good for the litter box since it will clump urine, filling your box even faster and non clumping litter may cause an issue with smell since it doesn't absorb odors nearly as well as the crystal litter.

You can use any good clumping litter! Also, I cut a tall kitchen garbage bag to line the collection pan. Just take bag out and dispose of it. Saves money on buying new collection receptacles.
