NO!! The worst smell ever. I tried feline pine in the breeze system because I wanted to change the pellets weekly due the the remaining poop that gets left on the breeze pellets. It was terrible. The feline pine pellets would get saturated with urine leaving the worst smell ever.

There is a product in Canada called "yesterday's news" which look like little hard sticks made of recycled paper and I think these might work in the Breeze systerm and are probably healthier in case your cat tries to eat the pellets.

I used some leftover Feline Pine I had in this box and it ended with piles of sawdust in the tray. I switched to this system because my long haired cat smelled like a gerbil cage and her backside was always gross.

We use FP in our Breeze box and it works just fine. Right now we have a combo of FP, Yesterdays News and the Breeze pellets just because that's what I've bought. I don't like how much the FP pellets disolve into sawdust but it goes right through the grates really well. The YN pellets don't turn to sawdust and stay pretty intact so they work a little different/better.We have 3 cats and 3 boxes and have tried everything out there and this is by far the best system. If the Breeze pellets were less expensive we'd stick with that only though.

I took a large screwdriver and sort of opened up the slats a bit more to help the sawdust waste portion fall more easily below.

NO...not @ all....it would block the holes & all of it would go down to the pad that is created for urine only.I would hate to see the mess that it create. Breeze pellets do not soak up the urine or dissolvein anyway, urine just drains to the bottom pad. Feline Pine would dissolve & clog everything." ) Meow

Here in Japan, these system toilets are popular and there a number of products you can use in them, not just one brand or lineup.Recently I have seen pellets that look like the regular ones--wood chip pellets, but they dissolve slowly. So with urine, the urine is absorbed and forms a saw dust that falls to the compartment below. I am trying these chips now instead of the totally non-absorbent ones.

I bought a scoop from Feline Pine. I can send it to you as I no longer use the new formula Feline Pine.

Yes, the new formula for 40 lb. Feline Pine is awful- dusty, no pine smell any more! I will try to find alternative pine pellets like others have. Shame on Arm and Hammer for ruining a once-great product!

The litter box is made of a hard plastic (not bendable like a Rubbermaid bin). It is not really porous so there is not an odor problem after I wash it out, and no, it won't warp. I wash my litter box weekly, because my two cats have always destroyed liners with their scratching, no matter what type of liner. The liner is like a coated cardboard and it fits nicely in the box, plus there are markings to show how far to fill the litter. If you are able to use liners normally, the you should be able to use them without a problem.

I just checked the Smartcat litter box and the dimensions are considerably smaller than the Natures Miracle box. Two of the sides on the Natures Miracle are about 10 inches tall....the sides are about 23 inches long.....the shortest side (entrance) is almost 7 inches high.....keeps the litter and waste in the box....my cat is huge...about 18 pounds and very tall....regular litter boxes did not work for him. I saw this Natures Miracle in a local pet supply store for $42.99 and almost bought it before I did a search online. Best purchase I have made for my furbaby....he likes the litter deep so I keep it about 3-4 inches at all times. The Smartcat box you are mentioning sounds very tiny by comparison. I have had cats for 50 years and this is the best litter box I have ever had...hope this answers your questions

I tried to cut a hole in the top of the box you mention and tupperware as well. It was difficult as the box top split and was sharp on the edges when done. The clever cat top has ridges built into it for the cat to clean his paws after using the litter. Also it is great if you have a male cat who sprays up the back of the box. It is contained. It is worth the money because it is durable.

Hello, I have the same cat litter box and it is absolutely horrible! When the cat does use the litter box then everything gets caught up in the wire rake. Then it falls into the litter and gets pushed back and forth and never goes where it is suppose to. It is a huge mess to have to clean up. Much worse then a regular litter box. I have sent mine back and I did not clean the thing because I wanted them to see just how awful this thing was! The poop went everywhere! Send yours back because if your cat does finally use it then you will have the same kind of mess to deal with! Not to mention the odor!

I'm not sure... if you can figure out how to install a higher side on the inside of the litter box (maybe some thin plastic and some e6000 glue), that would be the solution... but if it's not a feasible alternative, maybe this is a bad litter box for your cat. Which is too bad, because we STILL love it. :) I hope you find a solution!!!

I was really excited to read that wood pellets sold at the feed store were the same as the Feline Pine I have been using at half the price. I paid $8 something for a 35 lb bag. I'm just getting ready to try it and will comment later. I don't see a difference except in the way the stuff is packaged. Who knew??

My only suggestion is this: try using 1/2 CRYSTALS & 1/2 of your regular kitty litter that you were using. I did this for my 3 cats and they all took to it fine. After a couple of weeks, I was able to stop using the old litter & now I only use the Crystals which last so much longer. Good luck, because it is a wonderful litter box!

I have an automatic kitty litter box and use the crystals. I use the crystals that they recommend, and they are fairly small. I have bought others and they are a lot chunkier and did not work as well. My cat has no problems with the crystals .

You can use either clumping or non- clumping. I was very disappointed in the box; it's made cheap. The fasteners came loose and spilled the litter. I stopped using it after a couple of days. As a new cat owner, I have been disappointed in the choice of available litter boxes. None of them do anything. What I hate most is having to get down on my knees to service them. Cats are jumpers so there is no reason a litter box has to be so low. I use clumping litter and have to take a putty knife to scrape it off the sides. I have been so disappointed in the available boxes that I have spent the last three months inventing a Litter Console that takes care of most of the problems we all hate. Mine is 90% finished; you push a few levers, and it does the cleaning. Anyone who hates servicing a dirty litter box will love it. I expect to have to mine finished in the next few weeks. It is not made of plastic and looks like a piece of furniture. If you want to check back with me, I will let you know when it is ready. My name is Frank, and my email address is frankrunnels@outlook.com Hope I have been helpful, Frank

I just saw this message. Has anyone answered this for you? If now, I will measure when I get home from work today. For right now I can say this is the best litter box I've every had. I like not having to take the lid off to scoop it. I do have it under shelves so it's not terribly tall even though it looks taller than regular litter boxes.

You can shake out the pellets to remove solid waste (assuming Feline Pine is the non clumping variety). I use both Yesterday's News which is like Feline Pine I think and The World's Best Cat Litter (which really is the best hands down).

Hi. I only left the old box there for a day. I took it away and watched my cats and they used it right away. Try using some litter from the old box into the new one. Don't worry she will use it. Put it in the same spot as the old one.

The litter box is great. Keeps everything's in. I also found litter that's the best. It's called Feline Pine at Petco.com you can probably get it on Amazon too. Hope this helps. My cat sprayed too so unfortunately we had to have him neutered which we didn't want to do but that solved the problem.

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 :)
