Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat litter works amazingly well and is HIGHLY recommended by fellow Litter Robot owners. Clumps like cement with no gumminess or waste. One 40lb bag lasts me 3 months with two large male cats. Get it here for around $16, and if ur a prime member, with free 2-day shipping. Otherwise PetSmart carries it for around $18 per 40lb bag. Be careful with Amazon, tho. I've seen it as high as $26 with $15+ shipping. I live in a second story apartment, and LOVE that I can get UPS to deliver it to me free without my having to lug it up 18 stairs. Buy some... you won't be disappointed and ur LR will thank you...ur kitties, too ;-)

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.

I actually use another brand of litter but I think it has to be crystals. I know that a clumping brand would not work. Hope that helps.

The Litter-Robot is working like a charm. I have a backup, old-fashioned litter box and the Blitter Robot. I believe they all use the L-R unless it is in use. They are all such good little cats. I put Rescue Remedy in their drinking water to cut down any animosity. Love the L-R and highly recommend it.

Thank you for your inquiry. We realize that the cost of the Litter-Robot is high; however, we only use quality components to insure the integrity of the unit. It saves on litter due to our litter sifting system, is healthy for the cat and saves time so that the customer can do other things. Also, it "REALLY WORKS". We do not always have reconditioned units available and this is the reason they are not available in our Amazon Store. Regards, Shirley Customer Service Team

Welcome to the wonderful world of cats!! I prefer clumping. This product is excellent. Also great is "Premium Choice." If your plumbing is good, you can scoop & flush the lightly coated refuse, leaving behind a fresh litter box.

you can buy the refills for the cat Litter Champ at Dr Fosters & Smith online! So weird you can't get them on Amazon but I hope they will fix that soon!!

If you are using the scoopfree do not use the clumping. It can jam the mechanism and burn out the motor. Walmart carries an inexpensive crystal litter that works great.

My only suggestion is this: try using 1/2 CRYSTALS & 1/2 of your regular kitty litter that you were using. I did this for my 3 cats and they all took to it fine. After a couple of weeks, I was able to stop using the old litter & now I only use the Crystals which last so much longer. Good luck, because it is a wonderful litter box!

Any clumping litter is good. I use Fresh Step. My cat did not like Arm and Hammer and Scop Away. He is rather fussy. I used both of those at one time or another and they served the clumping well. He just prefers Fresh Step. One thing i have learned with the Littermaid. Be sure the one you have has a litter bed appropriate for the size of your cat or you will have trouble with the litter clumping because the cat will be constantly urinating on the same wet area and it will not clump if he has no space to scratch and cover which is their natural instinct. I just realized that since I downgraded to a cheaper version of littermaid box and caught him not fitting in the box as he should. He puts is front paws on the back of the box in order to fit. As soon as I get enough money saved I am going to get him the $129 version that he originally had. I would checkl to see if your cat fits in the litter box comfortably so that he can scratch the litter when he is done and help the clumping process along.

I have 2 cats using the litter robot. Compared to the traditional litter boxes I've had there is less litter on the floor. I keep a mat under the whole unit & vacuum maybe once a week. But there is no litter anywhere else in the house.

The only choice is Dr Elsey's Precious Cat clumping clay litter it is what I use now make sure to get the unscented one. Precious Cat Ultra Premium Clumping Cat Litter, 40 pound bag http://www.amazon.com/Precious-Cat-Premium-Clumping-Litter/dp/B0009X29WK

I'm sorry I do not know, however, after using the litter for a while, it started to track. At first it was great, didn't use excess litter( I have a litter robot) . As time went by the tracking was really bad and if you have a long hair cat, the litter gets imbedded in her fur. Good luck

That is exactly what I have done, started out with all Cat Attract and now just using about 33% of the box with it. Using regular NON_SCENTED litter to mix in. Seems the scented ones confuse the issue. This has been wonderful for us training a feral cat. She has 100% accuracy now :)

This would definitely benefit you! After the cats use the litterbox the robot automatically rotates and drops the waste into a drawer at the bottom therefore eliminating the odor. There is a place inside the drawer that you insert a carbon filter that helps absorb the odor. I have 2 cats & usually only have to empty the drawer once a week. Hope that helps answer your question. It is an expensive machine but I truly believe it is worth the money.

I use Tidy Cat clumping litter and so far have had no problems. I LOVE my litter champ. Just had to change the bag system for the first time....easier than I was expecting. Followed the directions, no problems.

We replaced our entire litter with it.. normally we use the litter that is recycled newspaper that is made into little pellets.. so after a while, we kind of did a mix of both, since the Cat Attract is kind of pricey.. its been working that way ever since.. but like most things, it will come down to your specific cat I imagine.
