Will it pickup and dump large urine clumps? I have a cat with kidney disease. He puts out a lot of urine, sometimes the size of a tennis ball. He also goes often. One review I read said it might not handle that, but that person didn't have a cat with...

I can say that it has picked up everything my cat has put in it. One of the best automotic litter boxes I have owned

My 13 yr old cat has the beginning of kidney disease so he doesn't go often but this unit had trouble scooping and depositing urine clumps after 3 weeks.You have to attend to it everyday and even then I had problems with it functioning correctly. The company was gracious enough to send me a new one but I haven't received it yet.

I'm not sure specifically on cat urine as my cat didn't use the carpet as a potty. But, there was a large spot from the previous homeowner's dog that it did a great job on. I did have to go over it twice (probably because I needed to make sure there was no return of the awful smell). I was quite surprised at how well this cleaning solution worked.

Hi Diane: Thanks to your comment, I plan to buy this and share it with my cat, who is 23 years old and like yours, suffering from kidney disease. With RenAvast powder and Ubiquinol, he has kept amazingly well, surprising the vet by living for years, but recently he has been bleeding (red) from the rectum and has bloody stools, apparently not healed simply by taking antibiotics. It is scary, but I still have hope because apart from his time in the litter box, he seems comfortable and still has his appetite. I'm very grateful for your comment!

I originally used the suggested litter... worked great BUT the urine smell became horrible. It would just sit on the bottom and build up... currently I use the clumping litter and the problem now is that the hole is not big enough to allow the pee clump to pass through...

I try to wipe it down daily. Usually it's just the small inner ledge that gets dirty, not the part that the cat stands on. I've never seen any urine spray from outside the toilet, but occasionally a little piece of poo here and there (I have no idea why, though). No matter what, it's way better than cleaning a cat box once the cat completes the training.

It does not clump. I have one cat. I scoop and flush solids immediately; I don't fill the box as full and I change it weekly. This litter is not as dusty nor does it track like other litters. I hope this helps.

I use the Nature's Miracle Crystal litter. I get a little over 3 weeks for one cat then throw the whole thing out. I tried using the Swheatscoop clumping that I had used with plastic litter box but it seemed to get the box wet and was hard to scoop out due to the uneven texture of the cardboard. The crystal litter absorbs the urine and changes color so you only have to scoop the poop. It is probably more expensive but I'm in a wheel chair and it's been a lot easier for me. Hope this helps.

I have used it on dried cat barf and it did a great job. Have not tried it on urine, sorry.

I can't say for certain. What I would recommend is putting it as close to that area as possible. Also, make sure you treat that area with some kind of odor remover specifically made for cat urine. If you don't get the urine removed - they will continue to go back to that spot.

I have had ZERO bending with this scoop and my cat has baseball sized urine clumps. He has diabetes so he pees A LOT. We've had zero bending. Maybe the other site was selling boot-leg versions of this that were cheap. I bought mine here and it is great quality.

I sprinkle some in when I add new litter to the exsisting. Every few days. My cat is in end stage kidney failure and he urinates a lot .. this does help keep the smell down thankfully.

These posts have helped me a lot, since I was considering these covered littered boxes for this reason. I have a 16 year old spayed female that is a high pee-er, but it is because she has arthritis in her hips and lower back. She starts out in a squat but because of the pain, can't maintain it and gradually stands up before she finishes. The pee ends up over the side of the litter box, and if it is a covered box, it just collects in the seam or runs down the outside of the box. The Clever Cat Top entry box idea is out of the question, because she couldn't jump up out of it. I think I'll try the suggestion of the Roughneck tote.

we clean out the solids weekly, and mix up the litter to distribute the pee throughout the box. Our cat tends to pee in spot, so litter in that area breaks down faster. Mixing it in with the clean litter makes it last longer. Have to admit though, the crystals don't do a great job at absorbing pee.

We have 8 cats so I clean the fountain every 3-4 days and change the filter every other week. Besides drinking, they wash their feet and leave litter in the bottom of the bowl, which does not filter out. Lighter-weight particles seem to filter out okay. I hate to say it will work for you and you find out it doesn't. Maybe someone who has dogs can give you a more definitive answer.

I use non clumping litter and love this product.... the opening is fairly large, i cant imagine it would be a problem....they would have to be some pretty large clumps !!!

I am not sure, I think so. It does very well for dog urine. They do make it for cats, by the way.
