Before you give a cat lover a gift, you should take into consideration what type of cat the person owns. There are several breeds out there, including tabby, pure breeds, calico, Persian, and of course the infamous Siamese breeds. Someone may own several cats as well, which is why you should know a little bit about the breed or breeds someone owns before you get them a gift.

Another thing to think about is if the cat lover has an outdoor or indoor cat. Cats, unlike dogs, are more than happy to spend all of their time outdoors. Outdoor cats can be a lot of fun, especially if the owner spends a lot of time outdoors. Cats have a natural urge to go outside, even if the owner has an indoor cat.

Cats who reside indoors are less exposed to sicknesses and common health problems that outdoor cats are exposed to. Indoor cats are almost always trained to use the litter box, which makes them easy to maintain for their owners. Nearly all gifts that you can get for a cat lover are designed for those who keep their pet indoors.

Catnip is completely safe for cats to consume, often times being included with gifts such as chew toys and play balls.

To own a self-cleaning litter box is like having an extra person who helps you. Although it is automatic it needs some maintenance. Here are some helpful tips mostly for litter boxes with raking systems!

• Keep the unit clean. Use baking soda or carpet cleaner to keep them fresh.

• To get your cats to accept it very fast you can set it up with litter beside your present box, but leave it unplugged. Manually scoop it for a day or so. Be diligent. Don’t scoop the old box at all. Then, plug the Littermaid in, and turn on the switch on to rake, and off when done. Do this for a day or so. Then start leaving the switch on for a few hours and off for a few hours.

• It is very important to keep the litter level low so the rake doesn’t have to constantly move back and forth because it’s jammed. If you consistently over fill the motor will burn out quickly . It can’t get through that much litter!

• The rakes need to be cleaned periodically. If the clumps are not fully dried after 10 minutes. The litter needs to be redistributed away from the collection box several times each week as a result of the rakes getting filled with wet clumps.

• The plastic rake works so much better than the metal one, the litter doesn’t spill through and the used litter actually goes into the receptacle instead of smearing across the bottom of the litter box. Sometimes the original is the best.

• To prevent sticking, you can use a light coating of heavy duty silicone spray,furniture wax or spray oil.

• If the motor jams there is a reset that many user may not know about and this may be a reason for so many returns.

• Wipe the wires down with mild cleanser regularly.

• Reuse the waste receptacles to save money.

• Mix a corn-based litter that keeps it from sticking to the bottom with a good hard-clumping litter that makes it clump well.

In short this is a great product that makes your life easier – it does require some cleaning but not close to what a not automatic litterbox needs.

A note on the litter – If you think that litter is very expensive we recommend PetSmarts ExquisiCat extra strength cat litter (comes in a red and green bag) because it is 99 % dust free which helps keep the sensors clean. You can get the 40 lb bag for about $5.00 and it lasts 2-3 months! You will be amazed at how much money you save in litter costs.
