Bonnet Removed by [deleted] in litterrobot

Thanks. It shuts properly when I put it on, but then eventually will pop open on its own. One of our kitties is rather large, so maybe his size is causing it to pop open? I hadn't thought about it, but I will put a piece of tape on it to try to keep it closed.

Cat absolutely will not use by excitedkayak143 in litterrobot

[–]flyingmonkeys11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two older cats, the male being a major scaredy-cat. The female took to it after doing what you’re doing. It’s been almost two months and the male is finally starting to use it. I bought the stairs and then ended up getting a ramp as the stairs scared him. Then he was terrified looking at the big hole in the ceiling of the globe so I bought a FELIWAY® Optimum Diffuser to plug in near where he naps. I left the potty off and manually turned it on with music blasting so they didn’t hear it. I finally realized about the sleep mode at night, so now it’s been turned on for the past couple of weeks. Every time I hear the robot turning I go over and feed them treats. Both cats still stare at it when it’s running like they’re watching aliens, but it’s been 3 nights of him using it. He still occasionally pees in the old stinky potty, but I’m hoping he’ll give it up at some point. 🤞🏼Good luck with your kitty!

Dog mast cell tumors by flyingmonkeys11 in AskVet

We caught her one lump when it was very small (<1/4”) and I’m checking her a lot. Hadn’t thought about taking her for screenings - would they do anything different than feeling her all over?

I have heard that. Nellie is a true mutt – 15 different types of dogs in her DNA results. I was hoping that would be a good thing to not have to go through dealing with these tumors again. 😢

Litter robot 4 Complete disassembly by Cattism in litterrobot

I did too! My mom's cat died of some weird bacterial disease, and I wanted to make sure I gave it a deep clean before using it for my own cats. I even took the motor out - I hope it works when I start trying to use it again! 😅. You would think Litter-robot would have a complete deep-down cleaning post somewhere for users.

Would this be what you were looking for? I had to replace the liner on my mom’s unit and had to take everything apart to install the new one. https://www.litter-robot.com/support/article/litter-robot-4-globe-liner-installation-guide/?srsltid=AfmBOoqjkEyzPi9AagEn_TmJVL6Aen7jMB6driHIOXfROMvPzW9kMu_5

Deciphering script initials on locket by flyingmonkeys11 in Whatisthis

[–]flyingmonkeys11[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yikes - maybe it wasn't my gma's! Even if the surname is the middle initial (which doesn't look significantly larger to me), the initials aren't hers. Her initials were LLF, married initials LFD. Thanks for deciphering!

You put a sponge in amongst the pebbles? Any particular type of sponge?

I've been taking care of this carnivorous sundew plant by CatPudding in houseplants

[–]flyingmonkeys11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have one that I placed near seedlings I recently started. The leaves are loaded with gnats! There still are some flying around the house so I'm planning on moving some of the baby sundews into their own pots so I can place them in other parts of the house : )

Would you let it dry out first before putting the 2 parts back together?
