FAQs
How often should I replace the bamboo charcoal bag?
The frequency of replacement depends on usage and environmental factors, but generally, it's recommended to replace the bamboo charcoal bag every 1-3 months to maintain optimal odor absorption.
What are the dimensions of the litter box?
Please refer to the product's specific specifications or packaging for exact dimensions, as they can vary slightly.
Can this litter box be used for kittens?
Yes, it can be used for kittens, but ensure they can comfortably access the entrance. Some very young kittens might need assistance initially.
Is the litter box easy to clean?
The litter box is designed for ease of cleaning. The detachable nature of some components (if applicable) and the smooth interior surfaces facilitate cleaning. Regular scooping and periodic full cleans are recommended.
Will the enclosed design make my cat feel trapped?
Most cats adapt well to enclosed litter boxes as they provide a sense of privacy and security. If your cat shows extreme aversion, they may prefer an open-top box, or you might try leaving the entrance flap off initially.
How does the sand-leakage pedal work?
The pedal has a grated or textured surface that allows litter particles stuck to your cat's paws to fall back into the box as they step out, thereby reducing tracking.
What type of litter is best for this box?
This litter box is compatible with most types of cat litter, including clumping clay, non-clumping clay, and silica gel crystal litters. Experiment to find what works best for your cat and for minimizing dust and tracking.
Troubleshooting
Cat is hesitant to use the new litter box
Ensure the box is placed in a quiet, accessible location. Introduce new litter gradually or mix some of the old litter into the new. For enclosed boxes, some cats may initially be wary; try leaving the door flap off if applicable, or place familiar scent items inside.
Odor is still noticeable
Ensure the bamboo charcoal bag is properly installed and hasn't expired. Replace the bag if it's old. Scoop waste more frequently, as this is the primary source of odor. Ensure the litter depth is adequate.
Litter is still scattering despite the pedal
Check that the front sand-leakage pedal is correctly positioned and clean. Ensure the cat's paws are not overly coated with litter. Consider using a finer-grained litter that adheres less to paws.
The handle feels loose
Ensure all components are securely fastened. If the handle is designed to be detachable, reattach it firmly. Contact customer support if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Compatibility:
- This litter box is compatible with most standard clumping and non-clumping cat litters.

Care:

- Weekly: Empty the entire litter box, wipe down the interior with a mild soap and water solution, and dry thoroughly before refilling.
- Monthly (or as needed): Replace the bamboo charcoal bag to maintain optimal odor absorption. Check the manufacturer's recommendation for replacement frequency.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the material and potentially harm your cat.
