What kind of litter does everyone use with this box? I'm guessing it's the scoopable type? Can you recommend a good brand? Thanks.

I've just used Tidy Cat scoopable with Glade. Scoops cleanly, controls odors, and is available almost everywhere. I buy the plastic jugs as it is easy to carry and pour and you can repurpose the empty jug after it is empty.

Yes, I use Cat's Pride fresh & light the newer kind that has an orange lable in a green bottle. I have two cats and it lasts a week.

I use Tidy Cat and I have been for several years. I have 2 grown cats and this litter works well and the cats seem to like it and it is fairly inexpensive which allows me to change the litter more often as needed. Hope this helps.

Most clumping litters I imagine will work. If I recall they have an "approved" list that I think included most of the major brands.

Question...did you get the Litter Robot for your eight cats? I'm in the same position of having 8 rescue kitties and wanting some relief from catbox duty. Currently I use 4 huge Sterilite plastic storage boxes with 40 pounds of Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat litter per box. While I'm totally sold on the litter, scooping is still bothersome. But this box is really, REALLY expensive, so I'm asking around to anyone who has more than the usual complement of 2 cats.

Requires a litter that clumps. And I recommend sticking with conventional box. The clumping litter tends to clog up the grate making litter change a real pain. ...unless you enjoy digging and picking gooey cat litter with a stick.

You can totally use non-crystal litter, it just needs to medium to big grained. I made the switch because after years of being happy with crystals, my cat suddenly started hating it and refused to do his thing in it. Dr. Elsey's Cat Attract totally works (medium grains) but you do have to clean it more often.

The litter you use is as important as the litter box in controlling odor. I found a litter recently that controls odor really well, clumps really well and does not spray dust up when I'm cleaning the litter pan. The latter problem has become a real issue for me since I feel more and more how unhealthy it must be for my lungs. Its called Precious Cat Ultra Premium Clumping Cat Litter and can be purchased on Amazon. I love it and the cats use it just as readily as any other litter I've tried. I highly recommend this litter.

I use "Smart Scoop No-Stick Litter Box Spray". It's a food grade lubricant that you spray on the bottom prior to filling. Originally bought it for an automatic self-cleaning litter box, but have since gone back to a regular box. Works Great!

Buy a better scoop. Try the Litter Lifter. Your box smells because the dirty cat pee clumps are not getting cleaned out. It could be the box holds too much litter and you can't get out all the dirty clumps with the current scoop you have.

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!

I have used World's Best Cat Litter and can say that they aren't even in the same league. Cat Attract is the best clumping litter I have ever used. Do NOT put it down the toilet, tho. There is a warning in the bag, but just in case you miss it, let me tell you....do NOT put it down the toilet!! lol

The litter box is great. Keeps everything's in. I also found litter that's the best. It's called Feline Pine at Petco.com you can probably get it on Amazon too. Hope this helps. My cat sprayed too so unfortunately we had to have him neutered which we didn't want to do but that solved the problem.

My sister also has the same box. It gets the clumps, but tiny pieces get left behind and you have to change the litter often (depending on the cat). Which is still better than cleaning the whole box daily! Love it!

I use Natures Miracle intense defense clumping cat litter (PetSmart). It comes in a 40 lb bag (It may come smaller-- havent looked). I saved back a couple of Tidy Cats jugs (Tidy Cats DOSENT Work for me) and put the Matures Miracle in them for handy use. I have 2 litter boxes 1 upstairs and one downstairs and the stuff really works! if the hopper is stinky just put a cup or so of the litter in it the Contious Clean does a very good job of sifting out unclumped litter and only a bit of the loose stuff ends up in the hopper. Sometimes thats not enough to control the stinky stuff. Also I have the boxes on timers that runs 2 hours twice a day. I got those at Home Depot the 2 pack of GE times was only about $10.00. I think having the box run 4 hours a day instead of 24 hours a day will help extend the life of the things and having the waste sit buried with litter may help kill the odor. (Dosen't keep things stirred up all the time.)

I have been using that litter too. It works great. The Natures Morcle does work better ansorbing liquids and meeping the oder down. The down side is you have to guess how much to put in and does mot fill the pan as much. I do not get as long with the Mimi litter before I have to change it, but for the price it is a great product.

You have to choose. Purchase this pan and use scoopable litter which doesn't require liners. If you want to use liners/clay litter, purchase a different kind of pan.

I haven't done that, but my friend who suggested that I buy ScoopFree does. She got the forever tray and refills it with the blue crystal litter. She says its just as good. I have not tried this because I have yet to get the forever tray.

I use Yesterday's News and other paper-based pellet litters for my rabbit's box. It is one of the brands recommended by The House Rabbit Society: http://rabbit.org/faq-litter-training-2/I hope this helps!
