Question 1

Do you have to use there bags or can you use like a plastic target or walmart bag?

Accepted Answer

I use standard 13 gallon kitchen trash bags in the bottom drawer and no linertia in the top at all.  Of course I also use small crystal litter which doesn't stick to the plastic as bad as clumping would (if you do this, you'll want to add a strip of duckt tape along the front edge of the part that faces downward when you raise the handle--that is designed to allow some litter to drop down into the bottom tray to help with odor control, but with fine grains, you loose A LOT of litter unless you tape it).  Best labor saver I've ever had though, and I've tried all the robotic boxes except the genie and the litter robot.

Question 2

Can i know how big is it? If it will fit a Maine Coon.

Accepted Answer

I have a 8 lb. tabby and a 14 lb. tabby/Maine coon mix. It is just a tad small for our maine coon, but he seems to do okay in it. I've had this box for about a week and he's been using it fine. However, I don't believe a full-bred Maine coon would fit at all.

Question 3

Can "crystal" cat litter be used?  I've never understood if crystals are considered to be clumping litter, but it's all we've ever used.  This seems like a great litter box, but I'd hate to switch our 15-year old kitty to a completely different kind of litter.

Accepted Answer

Yes, I use Petco’s SoPhresh Odor Lock crystal litter in this box and it works really well as long as I don’t try to sift the box right after my cats have peed in it— you need to give the litter a little time to absorb it. It’s nice not having to dislodge clumping litter from the sifting grate like I did when I used clumping clay.   I have two cats and find I need to change out the litter every two weeks.

Question 4

Why to huge huge price difference between buying one and buying two?

Accepted Answer

On the Catit website as of 4/7/2021 this product is $99.99.
You can also purchase Recycled WOOD cat litter to work with this. Yay!! No more nasty particles in your cat's feet that he or she has to eat to clean off!
