5. Yes I did. I have three cats so I'm always looking for whatever might be easiest.
We had the auto-pooper thing for about a year. Cost about $100. It was sorta worth it but too messy and eventually it broke down permanently. Our male cat used to growl at it. :) I think we'll just stick with the usual way.

7. Our 3-4 cats always wore out our Litter Maid
Just easier to do it by hand...

4. Never heard of it, but....
it seems like it would be super-expensive to maintain. The pads have to be replaced every THREE DAYS?! For ONE CAT?! Ugh!

Also, speaking from experience, any litter box which requires a specific kind of litter is a pain in the ass. You'll never be able to find it when you need it.

6. the box says replace pad weekly. You are supposed to turn them
after 3 days..not turn them over, just rearrange

Pads come in packets.

I have 4 cats so would need more than one box. Hence my need for feedback from someone who actually has one

8. I'm tempted to get one myself after reading...
these Amazon reviews of the thing:

The pellets seem expensive, and may be tough to find locally, but it seems they can be mixed with the Yesterday's News or pine pellets my cats are used to. (And which aren't so cheap themselves.)

12. starter set is $33 @ Target...box, pack of pads, supply of litter, special scoop
and the litter and pads are about $4 a package. The pads come 5 to a package, I think.

I am attracted to the reduced dust and the odor control.

13. I can't stand scraping the bottom of the litter box
Half the litter goes out with the trash. I'm paying a lot of money for little Kamere to take a piss, which he does all day long, never mind humungous shits. In fact, I have to go buy a new litte box today. "Pisses" me off.

10. Check out the smart cat box
www.smartcatbox.com

very much like what you are looking at but a little different. We have one that we use to test our diabetic cats urine.

11. one advantage to the Breeze system is availability..it is now sold at
Target, PetCo,PetSmart and even the dreaded WalMart. I have a $5 coupon that came in my last carton of canned cat food.

I take it you like the system, and your cats adapted well

currently I have sifting boxes which are OK if using a lightweight litter like Arm and Hammer but NOT if using traditional clay litters...the box is so heavy I can't use it properly. Looking for something easier on my very stiff and painful hands
