I use Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat Ultra Clumping Cat Litter and I'm very happy with it.

You can try using the World's Best Cat Litter in the Litter-Robot; however, it does tend to hold moisture, which can cause problems. Our recommendation is to use the clay clumping litter since it works best..Let us know if we can be of further assistance.Regards, Litter-Robot Team

FYI, if you have never used that product, the smell of it and cat urine together are not appealing! Not that cat urine is ever appealing, but there are other litter options on the market that eliminate the smell whereas this one intensify it!

That is exactly what I have done, started out with all Cat Attract and now just using about 33% of the box with it. Using regular NON_SCENTED litter to mix in. Seems the scented ones confuse the issue. This has been wonderful for us training a feral cat. She has 100% accuracy now :)

Use the new light weight litter from Tidy Cats or better yet, corn based from World's Greatest Litter. Both half the weight. Corn is completely safe unlike clay based litter. Cats don't always like it however.

I highly recommend a good clumping litter. I personally use Tidy Cats. Just getting the solid waste into the tray defeats the purpose because the strong ordor of the urine will remain in the non clumping litter...

No, not at all, I think the cat litter brand helps a lot - my last one was awful, so i changed to a mix of Ever Clean extra strength unscented - and feline pine. Much better than the last one I was using which stank!

Just a thought: Scoop your litter once per day and/or feed them a grain-free [preferably raw] diet and you won't need to worry about a "poop odor."

I hope this response answers any questions you may have. We have tried so many litter boxes and been so disappointed, not to mention the money wasted. Then we discovered the Omega Paw LitterSystem - inexpensive, no electronics, simple and efficient. No loud noises, no mess, no more odor - it works like a charm!! I highly recommend that you google the product and watch the several youtube videos. Then order one. Add a litter genie to simplify disposal and go back to enjoying your kitties!

I use Natures Miracle intense defense clumping cat litter (PetSmart). It comes in a 40 lb bag (It may come smaller-- havent looked). I saved back a couple of Tidy Cats jugs (Tidy Cats DOSENT Work for me) and put the Matures Miracle in them for handy use. I have 2 litter boxes 1 upstairs and one downstairs and the stuff really works! if the hopper is stinky just put a cup or so of the litter in it the Contious Clean does a very good job of sifting out unclumped litter and only a bit of the loose stuff ends up in the hopper. Sometimes thats not enough to control the stinky stuff. Also I have the boxes on timers that runs 2 hours twice a day. I got those at Home Depot the 2 pack of GE times was only about $10.00. I think having the box run 4 hours a day instead of 24 hours a day will help extend the life of the things and having the waste sit buried with litter may help kill the odor. (Dosen't keep things stirred up all the time.)

It has a very cloying, chemical "perfumy" artificial scent. It's better than cat poop, but I would much rather simply not smell anything.

Ingredients: Natural Clay. And it's still dustless. If you want something that isn't clay, you would want "The Worlds Best Cat Litter" which is made from corn and can also be flushed down the toilet. I've used that, Lavender scent and would recommend that if you want to pay the extra bucks.

I actually use another brand of litter but I think it has to be crystals. I know that a clumping brand would not work. Hope that helps.

After some trial and error I found the BEST litter to use is Ultra/LitterPearls microcrystals! (I have 5 cats using this litter box and my visitors can't smell it!!). It absorbs great and they dont get scraped into the disposal hole by the scraper.

For the last 7 years I've used crystal litter -- either Trackless Litter Pearls or the Petco brand of trackless crystal litter. There is NO odor at all -- even with 3 cats (this is why TLP is the best-selling litter in Japan) and there is almost no tracking. And it is eco-friendly. The crystal litter was recommended to me by a vet tech when I told her I was looking for litter that didn't track or smell (we started with Tidy Cat and that tracks and smells). I don't use the clumping litter because if I go away for a few days the cats are stuck with a box of concrete -- you have to scoop the clumps out religiously. (And clumping litter still smells.)

I've used a variety of crystal litters without problem. Still trying to decide which litter I like best :)
