The Latest Poop

[howeird]

Litterbox replacement, the one which uses the pretty blue crystals and claims no-touch for 30 days, arrived this afternoon, I took one of the clumping litter ones out of service, did some sweeping where it had been (they leak) and put the new one in place. Domino has toured it twice but did do anything in it, Pumpkin has looked at it and walked away to the older one.

Reading the manual, it seems it's only 2 weeks no-touch if there are two cats. Fair enough.

Domino did trip the sensors, and I have to say the new one is very quiet. Can't hear the motor at all from 3 feet away, but can hear the clap-like noise as the poop compartment snaps back into place halfway through the rake run (it has magnets to hold it in place).

Will give it a few days, if it looks like it is working I'll get a second one, and retire the original two, which are noisy and messy and jam all the time.

What is this one called? Perhaps you can "seed" it with a little used litter so they can be sure that is what the new one is for.....

The new one is called, "ScoopFree". And I thought about seeding it, but I figure they will figure it out soon enough.

Is that the kind with the pee pee pads in the bottom?

I once filled my cement mixing tub with about 50 lbs of crystals and within two weeks with 6 cats it was saturated and stinky....I now use storage tubs with high sides and 40 lbs of scooping litter in each one....have to scoop them myself though....sigh.

I will hope for the best in your case....
