  • Page 33: Frequently Asked Questions

    Frequently Asked Questions Will my cat actually go inside the Globe? Cats are generally curious and will investigate any new object. Cats that are already used to a covered litter box may be quicker to investigate. We recommend that the Litter-Robot be placed in the same location where the old litter box used to be.
  • Page 34 What if my cat won't use the Litter-Robot? If you and your cat are not completely satisfied, just return your Litter-Robot within 90 days of purchase for a full refund of the purchase price. Please note that you are responsible for return shipping costs.
  • Page 35 Will the Globe turn while my cat is inside? No, the Globe will not turn while your cat is inside. The Cat Sensor is tripped each time a cat enters, or re-enters the Globe, resetting the count-down timer to prevent the cleaning cycle from starting for another seven minutes.
  • Page 36 How often do I need to add litter? Experience shows that with two small cats (approx. 3.5 kg each), litter needs to be added about once a week, and sometimes it will last longer than that. The Litter-Robot uses litter very efficiently since the patented sifting mechanism only removes the clumps.
