Do you have to use their litter in order for this to work?

I don't believe so, but I still use their litter since I have found it to be the best clumping and leqast dust of any litter I ahve tried.

No, I believe you can use this in any clay or clumping litter. Not sure how it would work in other types such as feline pine or the crystals type. It did not work for my cat.

Absolutely not- just use whatever litter the cats are used to and mix this into the litter- I would add if you use a strongly scented litter you might go with unscented so they can smell the hay smell from the litter additive. This stuff is a miracle.

No, I have found it to work with different brands of litter too. Good luck!

I haven't. If it is any help, I use a litter box lined with a garbage bag, and then filled with the litter. I guess it is because my cat urinates so much at a time, but it soaks all the way through the fairly thick litter, and while clumped together, the clumps stick to the plastic at the bottom of the litter box.

I use mine with paper litter but you could ask them. Here's a link http://www.preciouscat.com/contact-us/

My cat isnt finicky about litter box usage so I can't really say for certain. If I had to guess, it would be for the benefit of the human.

It may be a bit hard to force the clumps in past the top. You have to kind of shove the diaper in (not excessively) but I think you want to avoid touching the litter.

We use a layer of litter called "Yesterday's News" on the bottom of the pan and put the grate over top of it, since everything just falls though the grate, the litter is just there to soak up the pee. You need the biggest one they have for rabbits, I got this one for my rats. It's not big enough for a rabbit.

No. The opening is tight to keep the odor in-you have to squeeze the diaper through the opening. I don't think you can use it in this manner for the cat litter.

I never flush the used litter. I just bag it up and toss it. I honestly can't answer your question. Perhaps call the manufacturer and inquire about it with them.

No, I tried it and it was awful. It gets very gooey and sticks to the rake and the bottom of the box. By the time I got new litter it had already screwed up the motor and now it makes a bunch of noise when it rakes and does some weird bouncing thing that it never did before.

This box only works with clumping litter. I have not used the litters you are asking about, so I am unsure if either are clumping. I no longer use this box and consider that it was a waste of money to purchase. The box does not empty the used clumps as advertised. The used litter got stuck in the slotted area and required that I use a scoop to move it to the bottom drawer area. Also due to what I consider a design flaw, the area that holds the litter was not tall enough internally and allowed urine to spill over into the bottom area of the box. I hope this helps.

Mine did not take to it immediately. I tried the mixing of the granules with the regular litter and still they were not keen on using the Genie. I finally made them go "cold turkey" and took away their regular boxes. They did use the Genie but one of my cats is large and doesn't squat completely so urine was going into the mechanical areas that were not washed. The smell soon became apparent and with the effort it took to completely take it apart to clean it, I sent it back and went back to a traditional box. It is a nice concept but it just isn't worth the money and the difficulty with using it. Mine did not take to it immediately.

Hi! The litter box isn't as shape as it looks. Cats will kick litter out of almost any box, but my cats didn't kick much litter out of this one. It also depends how much litter you put in it. I just used a little less. Hope this answers your question.

Yes, it works fine. The crystals work to dry the poop before it is pushed into the "storage area" so it can stunk for a while, but after it gets moved it is the same as if the cat buried it. You can adjust the time that the box waits before "pushing."

It's not that bad. There is an "empty" button that makes it spin the other way. Unfortunately, at least for mine, it doesn't really empty but rather gets the bubble around to where the emptying doors can be opened to remove the litter. It is at least easier than renewing litter in a traditional box (unless you line the litter box with a trash bag already)

The first couple of days, I set the two litter boxes side-by-side just to see if the pellets would be used. Then started adding 1/2 cup of Tidy Breeze pellets to the clumping clay litter box about every three days until I had used about 1/2 sack of pellets. At this point, I started taking away the clumping clay box a few hours at a time and watched to see what would happen. I had to do this several times before a final change was made. It was a chore to clean the clumping clay box with the pellets, but the results were definitely worth it. When first using the pellets, cats will want to play with them if they can roll around. I would suggest putting some kind of rug under the litter box that extends out enough to catch pellets. I find this keeps them from trying to play with them;thus, possibly trying to put them in their mouths.

I would put it next to their regular box and leave the power off. Put some of their turds into it along with litter so they know that they can crap in it. After a week or two, they'll get used to seeing it. Then I would take away their regular box for a day and see if they use it. You should be at home that day. If they do, then I would run it at the end of the day for about a week and see how that works. They'll get used to it and then you can leave the power on.

that's hard to say...you could put one of them in this litter box and try to keep the entry point out of the direct line of sight (make it a back door entrance) - you can always order, look at it and judge for yourself if you think it may help, if not, return it as I did.....good luck
