Works as Described but Smells Awful!August 27, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The system works exactly as described. The #1 benefit for me is that you no longer have to deal with the litter "sand" getting all over the room. The downside, however, is that the litter box smells awful as soon as it contains feces. You have to immediately scoop the feces out or else your entire house will smell within an hour. If you aren't home to immediately scoop you will walk in the door and be greeted by an awful smell. Unfortunately, the smell is too much of a downfall for me and I am going to go back to the old style scoopable litter. If they ever come out with a pellet that masks the odor I may try it again.
Works Great!August 26, 2008 Love this product! Works great and I haven't had any smell of cat urine since switching over...easy to use, eliminates the smell.....
Absolutely love this!August 26, 2008 We have had this system for about a month now. We have 2 cats using the one unit. It took my male cat minutes to actually pee in it and a formal introduction for my female to go and use it. While they continued to use the litter for pooping. I covered the old litter box with a towel, keeping it in the room but I put the new box in the location of the old box. I kept it this way for 2 days and had no problems with them using the new system. The female cat always wants to bury her poop but the male goes and leaves, making it easier to clean. I change the pee pad every week and odors are not a problem. I make it a point of cleaning out the poop right away, not that leaving it ther is a problem because for some reason 'their poop doesn't smell so bad' with this system versus the litter. I was using Tidy Cats before - seemed to work the best to my liking compared to many other brands. I have no reason to trun back - I am a believer and a happy one at that for this pellet system. I love it!
It May Take Some TimeAugust 25, 2008 I ordered this system for my 3 indoor cats. At first I only ordered 2 of the kits, but a week later, realizing the need, I ordered 2 more. The directions say to have a box per cat plus one. This makes sense because if one cat goes number 2 during the night, since it's not really covered up, the other 2 cats probably won't want to use that box until it's cleaned. Please follow the directions on introducing the cat to the system. You'll find it works. Only one of my cats had issues with the system. She really likes to cover everything so the different litter really bothered her. She had a few accidents in another room of our house. But after a month, she seems to be able to use it fine. I did have to add some of the old litter in one box for her to use it, but I'm slowly phasing that out. I just poured the old litter on one small section. That was enough for her to sense that it was OK to go in the new box. I really like the product and it is so much better that the scoopable litter box. You'll be able to tell when it's time to change the pads as they get heavy with urine. There is no smell. I do notice their number 2 smells stronger simply because it's not covered up. The scoopers work well, but I just put my hand in a plastic bag and pick up their waste.
You may have to practice some patience like I did, but once your cat is using the box, you'll be so glad you bought it.
