I don't have a cat so I can't answer the question, but the vacuum has excellent suction so I would assume it does.

Don't know. I got it because my new carpet needed a vacuum with a real high setting due to the thickness. Works perfect.

I have a cat and use this vacuum mainly for carpeted areas. It sucks up the litter. I use YESTERDAYS NEWS recycled paper litter and just started using Feline Pine Litter and it sucks them both up. I am very, VERY happy with this vacuum and wouldn't trade it for any other.

Good question! Since my litter box was not far away, I thought I would check. Yes it does! Although I noticed in an area that had a heavier amount, the Shark kicked some back towards my feet but was soon vacuumed up. I also noticed that it did a great job along the edge of the molding.

I would say yes since it does pick up cat litter from an indoor carpet too. Hope this helps you out and I hope it does the trick. It is a very nice carpet sweeper for the money.

No it does not. But because it is off the floor, it does not always pull all the dust off the floor. As long as you are mopping from time to time it is a complete vacuum.

Not sure about kitty litter but it picks up dry dog food, so I would expect it to pick up kitty litter.

I have a cat and it does not eliminate pet hair in the house, it catches some but not all. It sucks air so if the pet hair is not directly behind the machine it won't pick it up.

Absolutely not! The first Littermaid I owned was wonderful and lasted over 5 years with 2 cats. In the past year I've bought, returned, bought another, returned it, too, bought another and didn't bother to return it. Sad to say, but I've given up. So..... I scoop a few times a day. I don't have a solution, but would love to have a product as good as my first one.

The Scoopfree Automatic Litter Box has a timer on it. It clears the litter after 15 minutes. There is a button to do it manually however.

It does REALLY limit the litter mess from a traditional box. It does not 100% eliminate it though, they track a very trace amount out that is caught in their toes. It's very minimal though. With normal weekly vacuuming, all is gone in a flash. So, yes it does! Not to mention how amazing it is otherwise... hope this helps! I should mention I use the "dustless" litter I bought here on Amazon as well, so that's probably some of the reason it works better too.

Yes, but it dosent work very well. It dosent pick up anything bigger then a dime. And if you have carpet that has any length at all it dosent even do that.

Yes, it definitely picks up cat hair. We have two cats that shed year-round, a long-hair and a short-hair. The long hair winds up on the brushes so you have to manually pop the brushes out by flexing the plastic housing slightly near the wheel axles and then pick away the hair. Clean out the housing while you're at it. A brushless vac with a bag or dust container makes the job easier.

Yes it does they are an awesome vacuum. It picks up lng hair also. Our dogs short hair, but we have family have big dogs long hair and they used there vacuum and then used the Dyson and picked up we couldn't believe how much more it pulled out of the carpet.

I lived near a construction site for a year and ended up with dust everywhere on my tile floor. It picked that up beautifully, even off the grout. Should pick up cat litter no problem.

I have four cats (including two with long hair) but I have never seen it pick up much cat hair. I find some cat hair on the pre-filter, but not a lot. It does a lot better with dust.

My opinion is that it should depending on the type of carpet. Carpet with tall nap (such as shag), probably not as the sweeper cleans surface unlike a vaccum that "sucks" up debris. My sweeper picks up cat hair, leaves, string and other items that appear on the carpet between vaccuming. I am very happy with the Bissell's performance, plus I don't have to worry about batteries or electricity. Just a quick once over with the sweeper between weekly vaccums and the carpets look great. By the way, it works on bare floors also. Hope this was helpful.

Our daughter has 10 cats and, yes, it picks up litter. She runs it twice a day.
