Muddy and The Beans are the smart ones. They realized it was always clean. They took to it immediately. Boots Collins took a couple days but she’s hooked....and fascinated by it when it’s cleaning! Steviewonder on the other hand, we had to leave a litter box out for him....and not clean it. That got him over the hump. He’s still kind of afraid of it? But not enough to discourage him from using it though. It’s now the only place for them to go. Shut down the other one robably six weeks in. No issues to report. This thing is awesome! If you can afford it? So worth it!

And it’s my only litter box. Change the bag about twice a week. Add litter as needed.

It makes noise, but it’s quiet. Not loud at all. And my two girls are absolutely fascinated with it when it self cleans. It’s in my office and I have to yell at the two to leave it alone so they don’t disrupt it. It’ll stop if it senses a cat is in or climbing in.....

There are filters to keep the smell in the dump tray and the scented can wear it out faster. But your standard clumping is all that’s needed....

...and have to remove the excrement bag every two to three days. Have had ours for several months. Time to clean out the bin interior.

We initially got the cats used to it by picking them up and putting them in the auto-rotating bin every time they needed to go. They finally started going in on their own after three to four weeks.
