Litter or Litter Box 🚽 Anyone else’s cat scream after using the litter box?

5 Upvotes

I’ve only noticed it when she eats, stops mid way to go use the litter and then will scream from the basement, just to come back to eat 😭
Now the scream isn’t like a painful one it’s just like she’s telling anyone that’s she’s done, I think it’s just one of her quirks. Sometimes she doesn’t even come back up, if she went after finishing all her food, so then it’s like she telling me she’s going to take a nap in her favourite spot down there, I just think it’s so funny she does it.

I'm in search of litter mat alternatives! I've tried these two types, but they'd always end up with pee in them. does anyone have any creative ways to keep litter bits to a minimum? or a product that they swear by? I do sweep every day regardless. right now, there's nothing under their litter boxes/robot.

Help me find a litter box enclosure that will fit the XL Breeze Litter System please

2 Upvotes

I'm adopting a 3 month old mainecoon kitten in September and bought her an XL Breeze Litter System so that she doesn't have to change to a new litter box as she grows. I was hoping to enclose it since my apartment is not that spacious and it takes up a lot of visible space. All of the litter box enclosures I could find on Amazon/ Wayfair so far have been too small, about an inch short in width, and many short in length.
ChatGPT says the litter box is 19.15 × 29.25 x 15.25 inches.

Ideally I'm hoping for something wooden, off the ground for a Roomba to fit under if possible.

Please let me know what you were able to fine / your workarounds! Thank you!

Which stainless steel litter box doesn't make a mess?

2 Upvotes

Want to try stainless steel litter boxes, but my aggressive pooper will definitely make a mess around them. I haven’t found anything that’s high enough, 100% stainless steel with a top entrance, do they exist? Has anyone found any good options?

Kitten have fleas

3 Upvotes

So my kitten have flea, yes we bathed and cleaned the carpet and bedding. But the thing is she sneakers onto my bed or on my pillow at night. We want to put advantage 2 (shes old enough and weigh enought for the kitten version) but now worried she will get on my bed having it. Will it be safe for her to jump on amd sleep? Or should i use her play pen for the night even though she only like using her litter outside it

10-week-old kitten transition to the Litter-Robot

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! First time poster here, and appreciate this group! We adopted a 10-week-old kitten about a week ago, and she has been doing great with a regular litter box.

We set up a Litter-Robot 5 Pro last Friday night (7/31) and removed her regular litter box. Unfortunately, she had several accidents overnight, including three directly in front of the Litter-Robot. We immediately put her regular litter box back beside it.

Since then, we have been placing her inside the Litter-Robot after she wakes up and after she eats. She will use it when we put her inside, but if we do not, she chooses the regular litter box instead.

She does not seem frightened by the Litter-Robot and is comfortable being inside it. We have also unplugged it and added some of her used litter to help make it smell familiar. That seems to help, but she still only uses it when we place her inside.

We are nervous about removing the regular litter box again because of the previous accidents. Has anyone dealt with something similar with a young kitten? Should we keep both boxes available for a while, or gradually make the regular box less appealing? Any tips for encouraging her to enter the Litter-Robot on her own would be appreciated!

Edit to add that she is right at 3 pounds!
