How many cats per Litter-Robot?
So how many cats can you have per Litter-Robot? We recommend having a maximum of 4 cats per Litter-Robot.
| Number of cats | Number of Litter-Robot units |
| 1-4 cats | 1 Litter-Robot |
| 5-8 cats | 2 Litter-Robot units |
| 8-10 cats | 3 Litter-Robot units |
| 10+ cats | 1 Litter-Robot for every 3-4 cats |

Why 4 cats per Litter-Robot
Four cats per Litter-Robot balances practicality and efficiency, considering the following reasons:
- Cleanup frequency: A self-cleaning litter box like Litter-Robot is designed to clean automatically, reducing waste buildup. Four cats create enough usage to justify frequent cleaning cycles without overwhelming the system or causing malfunctions.
- Minimizing stress for cats: Cats are territorial by nature, and overcrowding a litter box can lead to stress and behavioral issues, such as inappropriate elimination. Limiting it to four cats ensures a balance, reducing territorial disputes and maintaining harmony.
- Optimal waste management: With four cats, the waste produced remains within the capacity of Litter-Robot, still only requiring the emptying of the waste drawer once every couple of days.
- Hygiene and health considerations: Overloading a litter box can lead to lingering odors, unsanitary conditions, and potential health risks, such as urinary tract infections in cats. Limiting the litter box to four cats ensures it remains clean and safe for all users.
- Durability of the litter box: Litter-Robot mechanisms are robust but have limitations. Restricting usage to four cats reduces wear and tear, extending the lifespan of the automatic litter box and maintaining its functionality.
- Convenience for pet parents: With four cats, the litter box will require less frequent intervention from the owner, striking a balance between automation and manual maintenance.
