What type of litter should I use with the Litter Maid?

When using a Litter Maid automatic litter box, it is important to choose a type of litter that is compatible with the system for optimal performance. Litter Maid generally recommends using clumping cat litter made from natural materials, such as clay or silica gel. Clumping litter is ideal because it forms solid clumps upon contact with moisture, facilitating easier cleanup and ensuring that waste can be efficiently scooped by the litter box's motorized rake. It is advisable to avoid using non-clumping litters, crystal litters, or those containing larger particles, as they may not work well with the automatic features and could potentially damage the mechanism. Always check the product specifications or guidelines provided on the Litter Maid website to ensure you are selecting the most suitable litter for your specific model, as the recommendations may vary slightly by product.
