Reddit mentions of Omega Paw Self-Cleaning Litter Box, Regular, Taupe

I have enough funds to adopt my cat but not enough to ge ta good litter box. So this would help me!

I know this is less a tip, but, maybe you should think about a self-cleaning box. Not one of the automatic robot boxes that i assume eat a lot of energy & can be very expensive, but i love this one from from Target & this one seems to be the same concept but covered.

=) we love to help fellow kitty owners!

I have found that if you play with your kittys paws while they are very sleepy or asleep you'll have a much easier time clipping their nails as they get older. Of course, I always recommend nail grinding over clipping because its smoother, lasts longer and it tickles vs pinches however, shes a baby and that will take some training!

get lots of toys! and play with her often. remember, just like your puppies need walk and play time, she does too! you can even train a cat to talk on a leash so you can take her with you on your walks with the dogs.

i have found my cat likes moving water and will absolutely NOT drink water from a bowl or anything thats sitting still. I use this fountain instead. Makes for happy kitty. hydration is very important!

as others have said, scratching posts are important. don't forget your flea, tick, and heartworm medications. Also, kitties should be brushed. My cat is scared of brushes so I use this which he adores and gets very excited when he sees it.

dogs like to eat cat poop for whatever unexplainable reason. please do yourself a favor and invest in a closed litter box sorta like this. its worth it!!

I live in a 1 bedroom with a kitty monster. I use something like this, kitty box roll it often with decent litter.

I have an Omega Paw which tracks a lot less than regular boxes. http://www.amazon.com/Omega-Paw-Self-Cleaning-Litter-Regular/dp/B0002DK2A8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1370301382&sr=8-2&keywords=omega+paw Only drawback is it doesn't have a lot of doodie space (because of the portion devoted to filtering clean litter), so I have found some dingleberries just outside the opening. In this case the top-entry box is better. A litter mat helps a bit also.

I ended up fashioning a closet under the stairs into a kitty pooroom with motion sensor light so they have privacy and the smells are contained. If you have any small closets, you can rig them to have a self-closing latch and motion-sensor light also. That brief pause of the cat having to exit out the closet door stops about 95% of his littery paws from tracking around the apartment (and 95% of the smell, if used in conjunction with a covered box).

It's relatively dusty (we're talking when you pour it in, right? It's not dusty besides that) but I use FreshStep. You can get it from Sam's Club for less than $16 for a 42lbs. bag. It actually smells pretty decent. For a while I wondered why my cat smelled like cologne. I dump the litter once a day and only have to replace all of it once a month. Also, I highly recommend getting this litter box: http://www.amazon.com/Omega-Paw-Self-Cleaning-Litter-Regular/dp/B0002DK2A8
You'll never have to scoop again and if you're too lazy to take the litter to the trash, flipping it over at least separates the clumps.

Me too! And that's a big reason why I just got one of these. I've used them before. We only got rid of ours when my middle daughter moved in because I'm sorry but there's no way a 24 lb cat can fit into those. BUT they work really well and make cleaning the litter box way easier.

I order a hell of a lot from amazon, but I have amazon prime for free (student). So 2 day shipping is free. I order most everything on there that I can wait 2 days on.

The only thing I don't order a ton of is clothes. Even if I like it, it's always tough to tell if it will fit properly. I only get clothes if it's cheap enough where it won't be a huge loss if it doesn't fit right or I don't like it. I'm talking 10 dollars or less. But recently I just invested my time into honing my wardrobe into a "capsule wardrobe" so I don't feel the need to buy new clothes anymore unless it's a size issue.

I got my macbook air, just 1 generation before this one, for 700 dollars on Amazon.

Recently I got:

So much more on my wishlist too.

I reproduced one of these and put a small Omegapaw inside. It current doubles as a countertop for her food and water dishes and with the coating it has, it wipes off easily. Granted I only have a small, 7 pound cat but I only have an odor issue when I wait a few weeks to clean it. If I don't end up replacing it when I replace the dining room furniture, I'll likely install a plywood back to further trap odors.

The Martian ($15 at time of posting, was $23 before): Why should you want it? Well, it's based on a amazing book and it has Matt Damon. And he's going to science the shit out of this movie, which is about an astronaut marooned on Mars. Yes, Mars. Hence the name 'The Martian'. Struggling to survive against all odds while the government spends even more money trying to save Matt Damon.

Self-Cleaning Litterbox ($25): Cause who wants to actually scoop poop? Instead, you can just roll this box around (preferably without a cat inside) and dump the conveniently gathered waste into the disposal unit of your choice.

Jack of All Trades DVD ($17.50): Look, it's Bruce Campbell and it's cheesy. But apparently very good. What more can you want?

The Evil Dead BluRay ($7.50): Again with the Bruce Campbell, but this movie is a classic. I'm not even big into horror and I consider this movie a 'must-have'.

Star Wars Pub Glasses ($22): Are you Resistance or First Order? Well now you don't have to settle for a glass with a faction that is not your own! You can choose and drink in style. And since they're pub-style glasses, they hold a fair amount of liquid and are also easier to wash than traditional glasses, if you are a poor schmuck like me who has no dishwasher. No more excuses for the men in the house why they can't wash their own damn drinkware. Your hand will fit in there, buddy.

I'm a new cat owner and I've done a ton of research into automatic litter boxes myself. The only conclusion that I've been able to come to is that they all pretty much suck. They either jam up, don't clean well, break after a short life cycle, or have other issues. Even expensive units like the Litter Genie or the top end Litter Maid units are not without significant issues.

If you have questions about specific brands I'd be happy to share what I've learned.

Right now my cat is using the closest thing to self cleaning I could find, the Omega Paw Self-Cleaning Litter-Box.

If you have a cat that does not mind a covered box this thing is amazing. Cleaning the litter box is a 60 second process and I never have to touch pet waste. I can not recommend this product enough.

I'm no expert on dogs and litter boxes, so perhaps someone else in the community can help you out. My best guess would be to put the box of your choice in a location where the cat can get to it easily but the dog cannot get to it at all.

Best of luck with your kitty!

You should really get your Self-cleaning litter box Very useful, and nothing cooler really than no longer having to scoop cat poop! I mean sure you could get some fun game to play, but really, not having to scoop anymore? That's totally bunnicula cool!

As for my item, Star Wars Dawn of the Jedi because new book, yay! Can't wait to read about this time period!

Or the 100+ Random dice now that school is out for the kids, we'll be able to do more family game nights together and there's about a million things we could do with these!

Bunnicula - what awesome books those were, I use to read them to my son when he was little.

I think you should get yourself this because cleaning boxes out is gross and why can't cats just use the toilet, gawd!

I would love this because I really need to know what everyone is talking about all the time.

I love the Omega Paw non-scooping box. Here is the Amazon link to it. It's super cheap, super easy to clean, and yeah, no scoop.

I buy $10 40 lb box of clumping kitty litter once every few months or so at Wegmans and I'm good.
