I really like it, since I am not a big fan of cleaning the litter
boxes. We have Quicksands, which aren't available around here
anymore. Those were the ones with the the three boxes with slotted
bottoms, that were placed in opposite directions. Works great for
cleaning out, except when you have a cat that likes to "dig to China"
to potty. Then the urine just ran out the slots, and if you misplace
one box, you have a big ole mess the clean up (fortunately, it's just
the litter, but still). Anyway, those are splitting and cracking, so
we have to find a replacement.

I think once I get used to the sound, and Pandy gets tired of playing,
then it should be just great. Right now, though, we are dealing with
sleep deprivation.

Okay... We got a littermaid, automatic litterbox cleaner. Works like

My question, to any who have one (or more) these. At what point does
your cat *stop* jumping in and jumping out, just to watch it run?

Mine don't usually do that, but often before it cycles, the next cat
will decide to use the box, too. Then the first other one has to examine
it, followed by a second examination by the second user.... Since it is
designed to postpone action if there is a cat in the box, it's often a
lot more than the programmed "ten minutes" before the box actually gets
a chance to do its thing!

I've learned to sleep through a single cycling, but if their scratching
piles the litter too unevenly, instead of resting at the end of the
cycle, the thing starts up again. (It is supposed to stop and blink its
light if there's a problem that prevents it shutting down, but in my
experience it will just keep going until I get in the bathroom and
re-distribute the litter so it doesn't pile up at the wrong end.) I'm
afraid if I let it go too long, the motor will burn out (and the darn
things are NOT cheap) so if it cycles more than once, I'm up and into
the bathroom before I'm even awake!

We've had it "hang up" once. *Hubby is used to putting "lots" of
litter in the manual box, so it couldn't run back to the rest
position. *I had to go in, turn it off, fix the litter (and remove the
excess, directly into a manual box), and then turn it back on. *Went
back to rest position and was fine. *Showed hubby the red 'full' line,
and told him what happened, so he's been very careful grin. *It was
cheaper on Amazon than at the local PetSmart.- Hide quoted text -
