I have 5 cats. How many units should I consider to cover the "family" effectively?

I would never get this thing. The liter that comes with it is too light and my cat tracked it everywhere. When it was cleaning, it threw away so much of the liter and wasted it if you didn't stop it in time.
1792532
Probably two. I would also set it to run 4 or 5 times a day and not on cat activate.

Probably 2 but ours missed something and baked it afterwards. The stench was insane, so we sent it back after 2 days. It uses quite a bit of water and the pebbles are tracking like crazy. The concept is great, just didnt work for us and it runs a 25min cleaning cycle every time a cat is using it.

The cleaning cycle does take awhile but you can set it to go off at certain times as oppose to after every use and still have the option to do a random cleaning if needed with the push of a button. Our granules track, but only in the laundry room. We have a mat to catch most of the granules. Can't cement on the toilet, but we set ours to use the washers water and outlet. We have 2 units one at our house and the other at the apartment. We have 3 cats. Set ours to clean 3 times a day. We've had ours for 5 years with little issues and no problems with customer service.

You may need one for each cat. There is absolutely no odor control, and our cat doesn't bury her poop any more. Be prepared to smell poop on a regular basis. The self clean cycle is loud, there are banging sounds that could scare your cats. I also am grossed out by the poop remnants that I have to flush from my toilet. The residue builds up a nice brown color in the toilet bowl, and cat hair mattes up in there too. Oh, yea almost forgot, I have found the litter/pellets in every room of my 2800 sq ft home.

Hi, depending on your cats but at least two...I have 1 cat that pees directly down the drain and meows to poo outside...then two others will use any of the 3 I have but the rest are fussy. Only choosing the laundry or bathroom litter but never the other...good luck....I don't miss the beads, but I do miss the simplicity of the unit.

At least 2. I'd start with one on each floor or end of the house, observe, and gage the possible need for a third. Might be fine. I've had one unit work for 2 cats without issue, and the more cats you have, the more frequent you can set the cleaning cycle. Since its not usable while it's "flushing" though, you'll definitely need 2.
1792538
I would say at least two, maybe three. I have two cats and one is enough. The other suggestion I would make is, I believe if you set it on automatic, you can set it to be used 1, 2, 3, or 4 times before it would clean. I set mine to be used 2 times because the cleaning cycle is long and the other cat would sometimes need to go while it was running.

I would get at least 2. Remember, you have to have a water source and drain for each unit. Mine is hooked up throughout washer. You can also hook them up to the toilet. Hope this helps!

That's my question. I'm wondering if you ever found the answer. I have 4 dogs and 2 cats. I use a shop vac now, which works great but it blows hair that I haven't gotten to yet all over the place and up on my counters.

It is a little tricky, never try to count it. But I give 7/cat for about 3 weeks from a pack. I have 2 cats. So I guess about 300.

I actually have 3 cats who get along well with each other and 2 are kittens, 1 is 10 years old. They play together perfectly, and also sometimes alone. It has worked out well and is fun to watch them trying to get the treats out. In short, I think 1 would be fine. If you find it doesn't work out for some reason, you can always come back and buy another one. ;)

No you do not need more than one of the locators. However, if your cats roam far from the house, this is not the product for you.

It depends on how well they get along. You could easily have 3 to 5 cats who like each other in the fun house. We have 3 cats as well, but one is not very nice to the others, so she gets her own "fun time", and then the other two go together. It's BIG!ETA: This one is not that big. I misspoke and thought we were discussing the one we have now, which is quite large (and of better quality) You can find it here: ABO Gear Happy Habitat for Indoor Cats

Yes, it's a decent size house. I think three normal size cats would be fine.

I have 5 cats and it's big enough for them. As others have said with fewer cats, you need to top the water off daily, but that's about it.

I keep 3 with plenty of room. I think up to 6 would be comfortable. Make sure you reinforce to keep predators out.My Dad raised 5000. It's amazing how little space chickens need to be happy and keep laying.

I have two cats. Our LR is now 1.5 years old. I did have to replace the base once under warranty. I do recommend the extra warranty. I was impressed with the service.

Hi Karen, Four are more than enough, unless you have a really big dog. Then one in the middle would be good.D. D.

As the only litter box in the house? No, unfortunately. Unless you want to be emptying it several times a day. The rule of thumb is one litter box per cat. If its too full, the cats will find somewhere else far less pleasant for you to clean....

Two would probably be enough but I don't know the configuration of your home. I could have gotten away with two but went with three and do not regret it. If I was to do it all over again I would have ordered these a lot faster. We love them and they do work for allergies really well.

Absolutely. But personally, for long periods of time I would not keep more than two in it. For smaller cats or moms and babies, no problem for more than two.

You can do room by room, keeping them in one. If you let the spray set for about an hour an open a window to vent any residual fumes before letting the fur babies enter I have an elderly cat that I was advised to watch for reactions if any. Hope this helps.

I have 2 cats and I have to add water once a week. I think it would be OK for a week with just 1 cat.

Hi Kathryn, I have a 14 pound Mali-poo and I might squeeze two of her in if they would ride quietly, but four cats would be a stretch I think. Probably two would be your max. Good luck.
