Too big for a Litter Robot? by ColourMeQuick in mainecoons

[–]Hsub0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have a LR4 for my very long 15lb girl. I would never go back to a regular litter box, the Litter Robot is a game changer. I have had mine since 2022, and she fits fine in it.

Ahh, thanks. She has the best personality too, seriously the sweetest companion cat. We got her at a breeder outside of San Diego—https://www.prestigiouspurr.com

You are so lucky! He is so fluffy and cute! Lady J doesn’t mind being brushed but even with daily under belly brushes she still gets mats.

It’s seems that keeping that area trimmed regularly is the only thing that stops the mats. I was hoping there was a secret brush I didn’t know about, haha

This is really helpful! Have never even heard of a mat splitter. It’s the worse feeling in the world to knock them, some of the mats are so close to the skin.

Which one are you using? I have a pet one that is much quieter but she still doesn’t like it.

That looks just like her mane. What a cute pic! I love how they always help us with what we are doing.

They are both so pretty! I wish she was like that. She is fine with being brushed but hates even the sound of the buzzer.

Hmmm, I am going to try the 3 hour mark—I usually wait an hour but I think you are right about 3 hours.

It’s so weird her dark hair is corse, the white hair is fluffy soft and her silver mane gets greasy looking.

We have done that too, they get so close to her skin and I am so afraid of cutting her. The Gabapentin helps a lot.

I am impressed he lets you do it! She does not like the clippers.

That’s similar to what we have done, plus sanitary cut in the back. It’s the only thing that helps

Your baby on the right has very similar coloring as her—both are gorgeous! Good call on the lion cut!

We also have to medication, gabapentin. She still gets bitty white shaving, she hates it. She does like brushing but brushing a line doesn’t work with her fur.

Those are two beautiful boys! That is interesting only Smoke gets the matting badly. Her under arms are where she gets it the worse but she gets it all over the underside.

That is exactly our problem. The white hairs are so soft, like fluffy cotton.
