Question
Does this box work well for old cats who urinate in huge amounts?
Several years ago, I ponied up the money for one of those self cleaning boxes. One of my cats was almost 20, & he released such a large vollume of urine, that the litter glommed onto the teeth on the sweeper. What a mess! I have an 18, a 15, & a 12 . Has anyone used this system on "high volume" cats?

Well, I have four cats and only ONE of mine has used it, true I have only had it a few weeks, but even with this one cat using it - I have found that it is more work for me. The urine sticks and if it gets in the grate - THAT'S A MESS. Would work good for kittens.

I think it would work just great! As long as you put a significant amount of litter in the pan to allow for proper clumping. There's no mechanics to it :)

My answer may be too late, I just started using the roll n clean a few days ago. My hairless cat is a "high volume" cat due to the amount of water the breed consumes daily. I too tried a self cleaner that was a complete waste of $$, I even went so far as to attempt to potty train him. The roll n clean so far is the best litter box!

I have 3 cats, although none of them go in massive amounts at a time, the go alot! As long as you have a clumping litter in this and fully roll it over, and then roll back, it should work nicely for you =)

i have older male cat who urinates alot and this box works good for us.. still trying different litters .. trying different ones as I am at work for 12-15 hours and by time i get home he likes to urinate in same corner like a dog, so it may stick to bottom when you roll box over, for removal process, but i take my running shoe & bang on bottom & you will hear a plop, then roll it the rest of way, roll back to start position & pull out little drawer with clump in it & place in waste bag. It really works pretty cool... I never would have thought of this design. If you have 3 cats using same box, you'd have to check it alot, but if each cat has own box, you'd be fine... for $20 its worth a try.

This would probably work just fine as long as the urine is not soaking the litter all the way to the bottom( where it can stick). There is a lot of room in the large sized one that I bought and it just uses gravity, so there are no prongs that are going to press their way into the clumps and gum up!

Yes, as long as you keep the level of clean litter high enough to keep the urine from soaking through to the bottom of the box. Otherwise, you'll have to knock it loose and give the box another tumble.

Yes. I also have a 'high volume of pleasantly plump cats and older cats. I thought I would have issues with them using the Omega Paw, because they were used to an open cat box. I was mistaken. They took to it like catnip. You just have to bang it on the bottom, when rolled and that's it. NO MESS! And do it often, it only takes a few seconds. I do recommend that you buy the large size and keep away from the automatics.

Yes. All you do is turn the litter box upside down and over again. Pull the drawer out and the clumps should be in the drawer. Throw the clumps away. Put drawer back in. Tip cat box from side to side to even out and your done. No mess anywhere because the litter box is completely covered.

I have a large cat that urinates alot and bm several times a day. I think the type of litter you use maybe the problem. You might need hard clumping litter. If your cat doesn't cover his urine or feces well you should to ensure it clumps. You may need a larger amount of litter in the box and to change it more frequently, otherwise the litter will remain moist and stick to the grates..
