What is the difference between Flushing Cat Box and Premium Flushing Cat Box?
1835683
The $300 one I ordered came with the hood and rails which make it an enclosed litterbox. I think that was what the difference was. Unfortunately, my cats refuse to use the cat genie with the enclosure, so I just took it off. It's not a necessary thing. I am very pleased with my cat genie and so are my cats. Just sans the hood (enclosure).

Hi Kristina, I bought the Cat Genie which is pretty cool. But, I am not familiar with the terms you mention.

Yes. After each use by your cat it scoops the litter and washes the reusable litter. You hook the Genie up to your water line and run a hose to your drain so it actually flushes the sanitized waste. Once every couple of months you use a maintenance cartridge to clean the units inside and prevent lime buildup. I love the Genie. I have three cats and have used it for three months with no problems at all. I just add a few new pellets every week, and change the cartridge about every month.

We have 3 cats with *very* different personalities, and they all switched quite easily. One good way to facilitate the process is to put the old litter box right next to the Genie, and stop cleaning the old litter box. Cats are so opposed to a dirty box they'll be motivated to try the Genie. I also *highly* recommend using the sidewalls - we have 1 "scatterer" and are saving a lot more granules now.

I received an email from Amazon, asking if I can answer this! I have no idea if there is a difference, I only have the litterworks. I purchased it over a year ago and is holding up fine! They do appear to be the same, from the photos.

I installed 2 American Standard great flushing, bone colored, chair height (ADA height), toilets last year to replace my older American Standard version toilets. As seniors, we love the higher seating and the color is close enough to American Standard's older beige color. Their new-type flushing mechanismis far superior to anything built in the past. The only thing disconcerting is the rather loud gulping sound the flushing cycle makes at the end! Other than this one thing, the 2 units perform and look well, even though they are a little on the pricey side. But keep in mind, that in today's world, price comes with any hope for quality!

This is our second American Standard Champion 4 toilet. We installed the first one about 6 years ago and have been very pleased with it. We installed our second one a few months ago. It is somewhat different in the way it flushes though. The shape of the flush holes at the bottom of the bowls are different (original is round vs square on the new one) and the new one sometimes has to be flushed twice to clear the bowl. We have never had to flush twice on the older one. Overall we like them both compared to our third toilet which is a fairly new Kohler Highline. We do not recommend the Kohler.

We have two litter boxes. One is covered, one (the Lucky Champ) is not. My cats don't seem to care one way or the other. They use both equally. A covered box is helpful in more public areas of the house.

Yes. It is a great cat box. Plenty of room for the cat. I put in a plastic box bottom (can buy at Walmart) inside the chest for the litter, and I also coated the inside walls of the chest with sticky contact paper to keep the box clean. If needed you can wipe the contact paper with a rag and a bucket of water with a cleaning agent in the water. The cat was getting in the chest before we even had it all put together. She loves it, and so do I. Nobody knows its a litter box. People are surprised when I show them what it is. I recommend it highly.

It does much better than an a open box... For my cats, this box gives them the ability to cover their poop well (more room to turn around and maneuver....), minimizing smell...

I haven't been using it that long so not sure I know what you mean. Mine flushes fine so far. Yes, the poop is in a clump, but thought that was normal. I have only one cat and it's working for me.

According the the Flushmate website: The Sloan Flushmate C-100500-K Flush Valve Cartridge is the most commonly replaced part in a Flushmate system. This product includes the flush valve cartridge, duckbill, and lower supply screen and is used on all Sloan Flushmate series EXCEPT the 200 series. - See more at: http://www.flushmaterepairparts.com/flushmate-c-100500-k-cartridge#sthash.Ij2kHIQJ.dpuf

Not sure. Manual says to use "premium litter" but doesn't give brand names. I did not use crystal litter.

The box is made of a fairly rigid plastic. I am also not using the liners and I don't notice an increase in odor. Using or not using the liners would not cause warping of the box. When not using the liners, all you have to do is clean out the box the way you would any other litter box. It's design is great, especially if you have cats that like to urinate up the sides of a box.

The odor control of the cat litter is lacking in my opinion. However, the odor problem was solved very easily by adding some activated carbon to each cat litter box and then mixing up the activated carbon and cat litter. That makes Precious Cat Ultra Premium Clumping Cat Litter perfect for me and my cats.Sometimes the solution to a problem is so simple. Activated carbon does wonders for odors, and just not cat litter.

One is made by the same people who make the Scoopfree box. The Forever Litter tray has free shipping (so add 7.99 to that 'cheaper' tray). Both trays have the nose guard. Litterworks screws on, and Forever tray clips on. I remove mine when I empty the tray. Only the Forever litter tray has the additional guard to help seal up the used litter compartment. This keeps it from spilling outside the box if it overfills. A bit of extra protection. I, personally, like the Forever tray. I like the square edge design inside. To me, it's easier to get a scoop into the clean out the corners plus I don't need a special tool. The net result is an additional $14, which I would pay to get the extra guard for the front of the tray and the square corner design.

That's actually pretty funny that you asked. When I am in a hurry I dont bother but when I am in my type A frenzy I hand pick each one out because it makes me crazy seeing poop in the box. Regardless of whether there are small pellets of poop in there, its still better than old fashioned litter and I'm sold on the Tidy Cats System.

There isn't any comparison at all. The Fresh Step product creates dust clouds comparable to West Texas dust storms, and you've probably seen some of those dust storm on national news networks. I'm still looking for any dust clouds from Precious Cat.
