1. Will my cat actually go inside the globe?
Cats are generally curious and will want to investigate
a new object within the household. Cats that are already
familiar with a covered litter box may be quicker to investigate.
We recommend that Litter-Robot™ be placed where the
old litter box used to be. The old litter box can be removed,
or left next to the Litter-Robot for a short time. Then, take
a cup of litter from the old box and dump it in the globe of
the Litter-Robot™. The scent will be familiar, and the cat
will be inclined to investigate. Once the cat has ventured
inside and feels the litter under its paws, they know what to do.

2. Can kittens use the Litter-Robot™?
Kittens and some smaller cats weighing LESS than five pounds, may
not trip the cat sensor located below the Litter-Robot. The sensor is
adjustable, but we recommend personal supervision of the cleaning cycle
(ON and OFF), until your pet has reached a size capable of tripping the
sensor. This is for the safety of your pet. The same concern may be
present with a mix of kittens and adult cats, so be aware of the weight differences.
As an easy temporary alternative, it is recommended to start the
Litter-Robot cleaning cycle manually by plugging in the power cord
when the litter bed needs to be cleaned, and then unplugging the
power cord once the cycle has been completed. You can continue
this manual "supervised" mode until your kittens have gained sufficient
weight to activate the cat sensor. In this way, you still enjoy
the benefit of not having to scoop the litter box by hand.

5. Does the Litter-Robot™ require special litter?
The Litter-Robot does not require any special litter. In fact, Litter-Robot™ works
well with almost any clumping or scoopable litter, including some biodegradable litters
such as "World's Best Cat Litter™." Litter beads/crystals are also compatible
with the Litter Robot. Litters that do not seem to work as well are the non-clumping type.
Moisture tends to become muddy and messy, and interferes with the sifting process.
If used in the "manual mode", be sure to observe the "Magic Seven Minutes" to allow for
adequate moisture absorption by the litter.

6. Does the Litter-Robot™ work with Feline Pine?
No, the larger pellet size of Feline Pine causes it to build up on the Litter-Robot sifting
screen, along with the expected waste clumps. It does not pass through fast enough to allow
normal sifting. The result is wasteful spillage of clean, larger litter pellets into the waste
drawer during the cleaning cycle.

7. How often do I need to empty the waste drawer?
This depends on how many cats you have and their size. Using an example for two
average sized cats, emptying the waste drawer 1 or 2 times per week is typical.
A single cat may only require a once per week emptying of the waste drawer.

8. What happens if my cat tries to enter the globe while
it is rotating?
The cat sensor detects the presence of your cat and turns off the motor.
The Litter-Robot will wait for 15 seconds before attempting to resume the clean cycle.

10. Are the electronics or power source dangerous to my cat?
No, the Litter-Robot™ operates on 12 Volts DC using a wall plug adapter similar
to the adapters or chargers that you may use at home to operate other appliances, or
to charge your cell phone. And, unlike some other mechanized designs on the market,
the Litter-Robot 12 volt control system components are concealed inside the base of
the unit under the globe and unreachable by your pet. There are no electrical components
or shock hazards inside the globe.

11. Will the globe turn while my cat is inside?
The globe cannot turn while your cat is inside. The cat sensor is tripped
any time a cat enters or re-enters the globe, thereby resetting the timer
to prevent the cleaning cycle from starting for another 7 minutes.

12. What happens if the globe jams?
The motor will turn off automatically, if the globe jams or an excessive load condition occurs.

13. Is dust a problem with the movement of the litter?
No, dust is no problem. The slow rotation of the globe combined with the size of
the filtering screen result in minimal agitation of the litter.

14. Can I reduce my litter-box's carbon footprint?
Yes, you can reduce the environmental impact. The Litter-Robot's standard litter efficiency and compatibility with biodegradable litters make it a litter box that you can brag about! And, remember that Litter-Robot is made in the USA. Buying local reduces energy consumed, and pollution emitted by transporting product from overseas.
