Automatic Litterbox Central

I can't remember the cost off hand, but I had an ongoing discussion with I believe it was Sarah at Scoopfree for quite a bit and she came up with a plan to get the cartridges much cheaper. It was something like if you buy 6 of the 6 box groupings you got them for 12 bucks per. If you bought 12 of the 6 box groupings you got them for 11 bucks per. Also, there was no shipping on them. It totaled out to about 900 bucks and you could do two payments. I remember the general total because my husband screamed "I am not paying 900 bucks for the cats to crap". No idea of long-term cost savings on his part Rolling Eyes I never followed through and it was so long ago I really don't remember the specifics other than it totaled out to me changing the box about every week to week and a half and having a supply of boxes for about a year and a half at about 900 dollars. Instead he built me a Plexiglas box and flap for about 15 bucks in materials and the use of a heat gun and wooden form to build it. I just wipe it out when it gets nasty and use the Fresh Step from the local store. The cartridges would be lots less work and about the same in price I think, but I don't think I can talk my husband into that kind of outlay even if it is cheaper in the end.

I had posted this in another topic so just putting it here as well incase you didn't see it in the other one. Maybe if someone calls and figures out what the deal was they could post it here? I am in the middle of grad finals at UHCL so I really don't have time right now, but if no one does it before I am done, I will call up and try to get the info. I am also going to post the box my husband made incase anyone wants to make one. It took him no time at all and only required a Dremel or some other cutting device to cut the size, a wood form he made with two by fours, and a heat gun which he needed anyhow and only cost 30 bucks and it has worked flawlessly for many many months now.

I have had the SF for about two months now and I LOVE IT!!!!! I can make the crystals last about 3 weeks with two kittens and I lined the cartridge with linoleum so I just reuse the cartridge. I did make a mistake in the 1st cartride by not lining the sides and have remedied that this time around. I know dumb for not lining the sides too but my excuse is that I am blonde. Anyway, the kittens took to it right away and I have had no issues. I just found the Fresh Step crystals and stocked up on a couple of months worth. I also have a few extra cartridges in case the linoleum thing doesn't work out. I will keep you all posted!
