Thread: Has anyone used a self cleaning litter tray?

Hi there, we recently bought the 'Omega paws self cleaning litter box' which is no too expensive, here in the UK it was around 30 pounds, it is a American product though so easily available abroad. It's the best thing we ever bought our two furry boys love it and so do we! litter cleaning is a few seconds now. You fill the pod with ultra clumping or worlds best cat litter and when you want to clean it you just roll the whole pod over to the right and then back again. All the clumps are then in a little slide out drawer, which you tip in to bags or bin! never have to touch or scoop litter ever again, no more arguments on who's turn it is to clean the litter box! it is both simple and very clever! it comes in two sizes regular and large, needless to say the large size is best for Maine Coons! and it is very large. Brilliant product though and definately well worth trying, a lot less expensive than the electric ones which can have a lot of problems. Lisa xxx

Thanks for that, it definitely does sound good! Isn't World's Best Cat litter flushable too? That combined with the Omega Paw may be the answer (i.e. roll it, then flush it, so no poos hanging around ).

The only problem with the Omega Paw for me is it's size, although that will be a problem with the automatic ones too. My house isn't huge, I can't (and wouldn't want to) have the litter tray in the kitchen or in the bathroom, it's definitely not going in my bedroom which leaves either the living room (which I'm not that keen on) or the small landing at the top of the stairs and I think the Omega Paw would be too big there.

Ah well, as it's probably going to be at least a year before I get my MC, so I've still got time to plan!

Okay you sold me!!! Just ordered one from Pet supermarket along with a bag of natures best!! It's £28.39 at the moment on offer with free postage if you spend £29.00. If like me you feed Royal Canin dry it's on offer too.

Just got to persuade them to use the new loo when it comes...........wish me luck on that one

You'll have to let us know how you and the fuzzies get on with it.

I've been looking at the Omega Paw - it does look good and I am thinking of getting one for Simba. At the moment he does have a large covered one but I keep it in the utility room and when emptying it it means carrying the hole litter tray which is heavy through the house to the toilet to empty it. It would be a lot easier just emptying a small tray. My worry is that with the turning it doesn't the poop get all over the roof of the tray and make a mess? Does it need cleaning out more often?

We had the Littermaid for awhile. The motor seemed to burn out pretty fast, but it worked alright. My Maine was deathly afraid of it and wouldn't go near it, but my moggie would jump in just to make it 'go', and then sit there and watch (which now that I think about it might be why the motor burned out so fast).

Not seen it mentioned in this thread or anywhere else, but has anyone tried (for better or worse) the Litter Kwitter ? (http://www.litterkwitter.com/)

The training video on the site makes it look far too sensible and straight forward...

Hmm... however sensible the whole thing may seem... somehow it makes me cringe. Dunno why, but it does.

I've seen them but it just makes me laugh thinking of Mr Jinx the cat using the loo in the Meet the Parents film! Most of our visitors are freaked out enough by our MC's curiosity in anyone using the bathroom - the thought of their reaction if they walked in to find one of them squatting on the loo cracks me up!!!

I have enough trouble with the whole leaving the loo seat up debarcle in this house - without the Coonies not flushing either :-D

Hope you have as much success with it as we have, it's so ingeniously simple and effective, we just took the lid off the pod for the first day and the started using it no probs, then put the lid back on, after that we've never looked back!
