FAQ

Q1: What is a self-cleaning Scooper?

A1: A self-cleaning Scooper offers many benefits for both cats and pet parents by automatically providing a clean bed of litter every time your cat needs to go. Cats naturally prefer a clean place to do their business and if they’re presented with a dirty scooper, they may go outside the litter box or not go at all—potentially leading to a host of health problems. A self-cleaning scooper like CATLINK eliminates the need for pet parents to have to scoop, saving time and frustration brought on by an unpleasant chore. Additional benefits include better managing odor control, keeping cats’ paws cleaner, and helping reduce litter usage. With CATLINK, you’re not just buying a self-cleaning scooper—you’re getting a better way of life with your cat!

Q2: Will my cat be scared to use a self-cleaning Scooper?

A2: Most cats acclimate to CATLINK just fine. The trick is to ease your cat into the transition. We recommend placing CATLINK near the old litter box without removing the old litter box yet. Take a cup of litter from the old litter box and add it to the clean litter in CATLINK to provide a familiar scent. If you have an increasingly skittish or skeptical kitty, leave CATLINK turned off until you know it’s been used. Read more about how to acclimate your cat.

Q3: Does CATLINK eliminate all litter box odors?

A3: A self-cleaning scooper will not eliminate 100% of litter box odors. But CATLINK helps significantly reduce typical odors because waste is promptly removed and contained in a fully enclosed drawer below the globe. Additionally, a large carbon filter located in the front of the waste drawer absorbs odors and moisture to discourage mold growth (a major culprit of that telltale litter box smell). This is why CATLINK is a great choice for multiple-cat households.

Q4: Does CATLINK require special litter?

A4: Not at all! CATLINK doesn’t need special litter or proprietary consumables like several other self-cleaning litter boxes on the market. In fact, CATLINK works well with almost any clumping litter. Litter beads and crystals that are small enough to pass through the screen will also work in CATLINK. Litters that are strictly absorbent, non-clumping, loose-clumping, newspaper-based, or wood-based pellets won’t work with CATLINK, as they interfere with the sifting process.
