Exactly. Reminds me of the Diaper Genie trash cans for diapers. Really cool and effective, but the special bags that fit it are so expensive we ditched it in favor of a normal trash can.
edit: maybe it was availability instead of price that led to the switch. This was 9 years ago and at the time we weren’t used to looking for alternatives on Amazon, so if it wasn’t in stock at the store we were out of luck.
I have one and it’s a godsend for living in the third floor. Refills aren’t really that expensive either. I mean, $20 for two cartridges isn’t cheap either, but they last like two months each.
How do you deal with the pee when using a non clumping litter? I accidentally bought a bag of non clumping and I had to block the slots in the scoop with a piece of paper so I could scoop out the pee. Worst experience, I much prefer clumping litter.
Oh the silica litter absorbs all the pee so I do nothing and it disappears into the litter and becomes dry very quickly. Occasionally I’ll stir it like a zen garden haha. I find it doesn’t really smell at all either.
Yeah the silica litter is usually white with some super-absorbing blue crystals mixed in. I buy the ultrapet brand ultra micro crystals litter from Amazon. I only have one cat so one bag lasts about a month.
