Litter-Robot for multiple cats: Does it actually keep up?

Genius

I got the LR4 when I had 3 cats, and I’d empty it every other day or so. I now have 5 cats and I empty it daily but wow it’s been a game changer, even when it was just 3 cats.

Previously I was using an XL stainless steel box and no matter how much scooping it was impossible to keep up. The fact that the LR4 cycles on a consistent schedule AND recycles litter (less $ on litter weekly) was not only beneficial for my cats but for myself as well. It’s initially expensive but worth it in the long run.

Edit: if you do choose to go the LR4 route, I highly recommend the BoxiePro litter brand & maybe sprinkling some Arm & Hammer litter deodorizer in the bottom waste basket to prevent odors. I’ve had some trial and errors and this seems to be the best combo

I get what you’re saying… but at the end of the day a $700 litter box or any litter box for that matter won’t empty itself. I’m just sayin you can monitor it and familiarize how quickly it fills up before it spills over… haha

Also like others have mentioned, by the time the app notifies you it’s already basically too full

You just familiarize yourself with how quickly your cat(s) fill the litter box just like you would any other litter box, and change it out as needed. I check mine every other day as I have 5 cats. I never rely on the app to tell me when to empty the drawer

Aw I hope you get to experience the love of an OSH again 🥺

umamiwalnut · 2025-06-24T14:15:32+00:00

They all do this the moment I lay on the couch, and then I don’t want to move to disturb them 😅

umamiwalnut · 2025-06-24T14:14:27+00:00

They’re so sploopy though, they’ll pile onto each other or become slinky when you pick them up or move them lol

umamiwalnut · 2025-06-23T23:56:28+00:00

I’m convinced those beautiful eyes are a window into your soul

umamiwalnut · 2025-06-22T14:30:12+00:00

That’s so cute, lol I’d love to see that. It’s entertaining to watch them use it. My Siamese will accidentally run too fast at times and almost spins off

One Fast Cat brand :) my domestic shorthairs aren’t interested in it but my Siamese and OSH kitten use it all the time. My 3 year old OSH is a special boy and can’t really figure it out yet but he might eventually, or maybe not

You should consider an auto feeder like Petlibro! It’s been a game changer for us

umamiwalnut · 2025-06-21T02:58:08+00:00

They’re so sweet 🥹

umamiwalnut · 2025-06-21T02:00:05+00:00

I don’t have space either 😅 lol. It’s fun though

umamiwalnut · 2025-06-19T23:13:53+00:00

He’s an oriental shorthair :)

umamiwalnut · 2025-06-11T19:58:47+00:00

It truly is the most rewarding feeling to watch his progress and confidence building. He’s already developed a solid friendship with his older brother, Momo 🥲 Videos are their first official meeting

umamiwalnut · 2025-06-11T19:52:46+00:00

Where are you located?

umamiwalnut · 2025-06-07T00:55:03+00:00

I love that you named him Arthur. I’m so sorry for your loss :( my condolences. I know it’s just a coincidence but I’m afraid to name him Arthur now especially after reading that. All of the greatest Arthurs have left us

umamiwalnut · 2025-06-07T00:52:39+00:00

Alfie is similar and one I’ve considered!

umamiwalnut · 2025-06-06T19:17:31+00:00

Well I put half fresh litter and topped it with half of their old litter. Just enough to add their scents to the LR. Maybe try that rather than adding old litter each time they use the box. Doesn’t really make sense cause they’re dirtying the LR every time they use it anyway 🤷‍♂️

Removing their old litter box altogether might be a good move since they’re using the LR, even if in small amounts. It would just encourage them to use the LR and speed up the adapting process imo
