Bonez....

I use a custom-made sieve system. It's merely a piece of expanded metal that is custom-fit that goes inside the litterbox first, then the litter on top. Come cleaning time, I merely grab the handles of the sieve and lift and shake it a little. All the little deposits stay in the sieve, the litter falls back into the box. The deposits go outside in the compost heap.

I then get a clean box, put the sieve in it, and dump the litter from the previous box into this box. Done.

It cost $10 bucks to make this. Makes cat box cleaning a breeze.

i think i have figured out what i am doing wrong....you have to have it put together perfectly....(i am shamed..by boss..who goes..is it the roll one...i say yes...he says..the kids do ours....small kids....so i looked at it and saw what i was doing wrong....

$107 to clean cat poop? Bones, Bones, Bones . . . .

I use a litter scoop. $4.99 at the grocery store. I use store brand litter and scoop every other day. Literally takes about a minute and a half. Easiest thing in the world.

 

[strollingbones]

nooooooooo 35 bones, i got cat food, roland another collar and greenies.. the litter robot is around 300 lol

Of course, I have five cats living in the house and four large litterboxes for them, with the sieve system I clean every other day, takes seconds to take care of all four boxes.

When I had only one or two cats, I used the scoop. Came up with the sieve system when I got the third cat and added a second box.

 

[strollingbones]

i got 3 boxes...i just dont know the scoop sucks but so far this one sucks too....i just dont know....you are suppose to have one box for each cat plus one...i only have 3....

I thought you spent $107 on a self cleaning litter box. Honestly a plastic sieve scoop and a minute or two every other day . . . easy. Maybe every day for more than one cat. Every two weeks or so I'll change the entire bag/box/litter out for fresh. I'm the only one who cleans the cat box too and even I don't mind doing this. I make the kids poopy scoop the yard from the dog's business.

Are you using the self-clumping litter? I used to use Tidy Cat regular litter and changed the whole thing every 5 days or so and the cat finally decided that he'd had enough. I was wary of the clumping litter till I tried it and . . . . the cat and I are both pleased with it. I use the store brand too.

I just added boxes to make sure all the cats have a sense of "property" about them. I don't know if there's a formula for the number of boxes vs. number of cats you have. But my boxes are BIG, not the little 2 foot by 3 foot ones you buy that are 8 inches deep. Mine are more like 3 by 4, 12 inches deep and each holds an entire 40lb bag of litter nicely.

Each box has its own sieve, and I have a spare empty box for the changeouts.

The four boxes reside in a larger container I built which has a open front and a hinged lid that has a activated charcoal filter, which nicely absorbs all odors immediately. This container is 6 feet by 8 feet, and is in the laundry room tucked away in a corner. They love the privacy. And I like never having any cat box odors.

LOL! You're going to think I am nutso, but I actually reprocess the cat litter!

The "spent" litter goes into a tub which gets hot water and a mild detergent. It gets tumbled in this for about 5 minutes, then gets another bath with a enzyme added which destroys all urine. It then gets a rinse cycle. (I built this out of a discarded washing machine) Then it gets a finish bath, where another enzyme is added for destroying urine and fecal material and adds the "perfume" scent you smell from storebought litter.

This then gets dumped out on a conveyor which takes it to the dryer. It's just a old pizza oven that has its own conveyor in it. The litter gets 400 degree heat for five minutes.

Then it's dumped into a 30 gallon trash can, ready for use! I do this once a month. I never buy any cat litter.

Cost savings is huge when you start adding up the cost of cat litter every time you buy it. I'm a cheap bastard.

 

[strollingbones]

omg da man would do ***t....he is so cheap....i use fresh paws clumping...okay i think i have decided..return the fancy litter pan...just scoop....the *** out..and be done with it
