It’s always easier to explain something that’s totally terrific or absolutely horrible. It’s more difficult when it lands somewhere in between the two extremes.
I’ve been using the two Luuup litterboxes for about a week. (For background, check HERE) They’re not exactly as advertised but they are better than the traditional tub-o-litter-and-scoop method.
PROS: Sifting the untainted litter out is easier than digging around in the worst sandbox ever! The system is super easy to set up and use. There’s less waste of litter. It seems quicker. Spice and Miss Sugar, our senior cats, didn’t hesitate to use the new boxes and you know how fussy cats can be.
CONS: The ads and videos all show what it’s like if your cat pees in the middle of the pan and once you’ve sifted, the pan is “clean” and dry. My cats pee at the edges. If half a clump is stuck to the plastic, it won’t dry. So, I feel let down over the part of this routine I was looking forward to the most.
I can’t heartily recommend the Luuup but it’s not a total bust, either. Still, two boxes delivered cost $130 so I expected a little more – or less – from the so-called last litterboxes I’ll ever need.
Couldn’t you use a little wax paper around the problem edges? However without seeing the product this is only a guess, but there is an answer if you think outside the box.
I know you’re solution-oriented, Allan, but this is a horrible idea! The idea is to get away from the box, not closer to it. Pet stores sell liners if that’s the way you want to go but in my experience, they slip down below the litter line and you end up wasting a ton of litter. There’s no great solution.
Great to get your feedback. My daughter’s cat is very long and also pees at the edge or back or the litter box. The length of this box is not long enough for him. I have emailed them to see if it comes in a longer size or if it will be eventually, but I have not heard back yet. The idea of this litter box is great if all cats are the same size and pee in the centre!
Let us know, okay? I’m sure they only have the one size now but maybe they’ll expand…literally. Yes, if only we all had neat and tidy middle-peeers! With two senior cats, I’m lucky they when keep it in the box.
It’s a terrible product. They won’t refund your money. Leaves a mess all over
