Automatic Litterbox Central

If one cat is using the LR and the other is still using the dirty box is it a bad idea to dump the contents of the LR's waste tray into the old box to essentially make it worse faster?

I have a new Bengal kitten. I had another type of litterbox before I found the litter robot. She was having "accidents" or "in-appropriate urination" in shopping bags. I started using "Cat Attract" litter in the robot and have had not one single miss in several months since. It's a little pricey but worth it!

When we first got our LR we used Cat Attract Litter for a short period of time. We actually found a rebate that made the litter free! We also put a little catnip on the step to entice them. They have loved it since with no problems.

Thanks to all of you for sharing your "tips" on how to get a cat to use the Litter-Robot.

Here are the ones we recommend and I do know that some of them have been covered; however, I wanted to share them all.

1. When starting out with the Litter-Robot leave it turned OFF. Wait until you see evidence of consistent use before turning it on and leaving it in automatic mode. If a clean cycle is required during the acclimation period, just run the cycle manually by turning the unit ON and then OFF again after the cycle has completed. Once you feel your cat is comfortable using the Litter-Robot you can then resume the automatic mode (leaving the unit ON).
2. Keep the old litter box in the same room or next to the Litter Robot and let it fill up. This will give your cat a choice between the clean Litter-Robot and a not so clean litter box.
3. Place treats on the ledge or around the unit so that cat associates rewards with the Litter Robot.
4. One customer placed treats in a dish inside the unit as to get kitty to go inside and see that it safe and has clean litter.
5. Sit down with kitty next to the unit. Talk to them and show them that the unit is nothing to be afraid of.
6. Another customer placed the globe on the floor and secured it so it would not move. It being eye level must have helped kitty to feel more comfortable to enter the globe.
7. One gentleman put food and water in the bathroom and shut the cat inside with the Litter Robot while at work. It gave his cat no other option but the Litter Robot. He chose the bathroom as it was easier to clean than most other rooms.
