Hi there,
We have just purchased a litter robot for our cat Lyra. The Litter Robot 3 arrived on Monday (3 days ago) and we set it up and Lyra started to use it immediately. On the Tuesday (1 day later), we started noticing a strong smell of cat poop. The smell took over our entire flat. We checked the litter robot to make sure there was no waste stuck in the globe or anywhere else - there was nothing. We emptied the waste drawer and the smell immediately improved.
The reason we got the litter robot was to avoid having to scoop everyday. However, this is no better if we have to empty the tray every time she uses it and much more expensive!
We only have one cat and are currently using Tigerino Canada Cat litter which is a premium clay clumping litter.
If you have a litter robot and are not experiencing any issues with smell coming from the waste drawer - please can you let me know what type of litter you use and if that is available in the UK?
We don’t want to return this and would like to try all options before we do, but we cannot use the litter robot as it is.
Your help would be much appreciated!
Thanks
