![]() The reason for this is that you need to adjust the litter box according to your cat’s elimination habits and also the number of cats. It’s important to have the ability to adjust the wait time for the automatic litter box to start a cleaning cycle, especially if you are going to use the unit with several cats. #3 Adjustable Wait Time of Cleaning Cycles Countdown timer The problem with this option is that the litter box won’t be clean all the time, have some waste sitting there, and maybe another cat won’t want to use it. In general, is recommended to program the CatGenie with intervals of hours and not automatically. ![]() The CatGenie takes 34 minutes to complete one cleaning cycle which could be a problem with multi-cats due to the electrical expenses of having the machine auto-cleaning several hours a day (is like having the dry machine running). With the Litter Robot, the cleaning cycle lasts a little over 2 minutes which is fast. This is also important because if the device gets clean and ready fast, it’s more likely to be accepted and used by several cats because most cats don’t like dirty litter boxes, especially with waste created by another cat. If your cats have some territorial issues, the cat waiting may end up doing its business somewhere else. If the automatic litter box takes too long to self-clean more chance that one of the cats will be waiting for the machine to be ready. The faster the machine does the cleaning cycle, the more chance that the automatic litter box will be clean and ready for another cat to use. #2 How Long the Machine Takes to Self Clean Sand timer The CatGenie is the exception to this rule because this unit features a self-disposal mechanism where the waste goes to the sewerage system.

One cat needs to urinate at least 4 times a day and defecate at least once a day with a healthy food diet. The idea of having an automatic litter box is not to worry about the maintenance for at least 4 days and that being said you need to make sure the device you get has enough capacity to hold 4 or more days’ worth of waste. ![]() This is very important if you plan to use the same machine with several cats. #1 Big Capacity to Hold the Collected Waste Collected waste
