My cats seem to actually prefer the LitterMaid, though the Wal-Mart box does get used on occasion. It would be wonderful if LitterMaid could make a top for this box that prevented cats like mine from throwing out so much litter. Maybe to fasten it on with Velcro, or snaps, or some kind of frame that could be easily removed for cleaning and replacing the full receptacle would be possible. Other than the problem of a messy cat, I have no complaints about the effectiveness or operation of the LitterMaid. I have five cats, mostly indoor most of the year.
Litter is cleaned three times daily.
And most people have fewer than five cats. Not to mention that some of my cats would totally freak out at it. Since DHE was essentially an electronic toy mag, and since I had two indoor cats, I requested one for review. We swapped out our giant Booda box for the Windmere and waited for the results. One seemed just fine with it, but the other, a giant Maine Coon, was mortified when he happened to be lurking around ten minutes after the fact and saw the thing leap into action.
