CatGenie Washable Granules, 3.5 Pounds

Better than cat litter. So glad I bought the Cat Genie.

Anyone who has a cat(s) should have a Cat Genie. MY friends are sick of hearing me report to them about when my cats used the Genie. I’m so thrilled with it!!! They all roll their eyes! That’s how much I talk about it!! You will not be sorry if you get one! I put mine in my laundry room and the drain hose goes into my sump pump in my basement where my washing machine water goes. It’s just perfect!!!! ALSO if you have ANY questions, the peeps at the 800 number are EXCELLENT!!! They will talk you through step by step of what to do! And they can tell what is the matter with your unit by putting in the serial number!! CAT GENIE AI!!!! DO IT!!!!! You will bot be sorry!!!

OK, so the tempermental Cat Genie is a not for everyone. But for the rest of us, it's godsend. What these granules do for me is maintain a very sanitary litter box for a valuable 15 year old service animal on chemotherapy and help his person who has a compromised immune system and can't handle litter at all. I'm so grateful that I no longer have to deal with scooping and bagging and hauling, and fight the endless battle of odor and sanitizing. The granules track as bad as any other litter with the difference being they don't have ANY "dust" at all. You do feel it if you step on the individual granules, but if you put a large litter mat or a big plush rug in front of the litter box, the granules will be caught in them and you can pick up the edges of the rug, shake loose the granules and then dump them back into the box, using the rug to funnel them. There is no solution to cat litter boxes unless you have a full time maid, but this is one option that I think is the best solution for indoor litter boxes for many of us. If you have the need for bacterial reduction and minimizing dust, this is as good as it gets.

I bought a CatGenie, with the added dome, directly from their website back in November (nine months ago), I was thrilled we finally had a home with an actual laundry room and space to put this behemoth of a litter box. I bought my first box of granules in December, knowing that I'd need to maintain a certain depth of litter for the Genie to function properly. These granules do track everywhere, it's easy to tell if my cat has been getting somewhere she shouldn't have been, because I find one or two of these on the counter or somewhere else similar on a regular basis. Having a litter mat directly in front helps, and another complaint I read was during the wash cycle they tend to fly... the dome accessory helps with this dramatically. Otherwise, after six months, I finally emptied my first replacement box of granules. I only have one cat, but my Genie does run twice a day. I do also have a part goat, corgi puppy, who was just simply using the kitty flap into the laundry room and eating the granules themselves as a snack (I checked each time I caught him, box was clean, he's just... part goat), which also sped up the need of a new replacement box. If I'm not feeling lazy and am halfway ambitious, it's also very easy to pick up the mat I have in front, fold it, and dump the loose litter that I can back into the Genie.

You can't really thoroughly consider the CatGenie granules in isolation from the CatGenie or vice versa, but I'll give it a shot vs. clay-based standard litter in a regular litter box. These granules are about millet size, plastic, and they don't clump and they don't break, grind or decompose into fine clay. As such, they're easier to clean up after getting kicked out. Also, I don't feel quite as yucky to find them around the house as I did for the clay, since I know they've been washed several times today and they haven't absorbed anything. I have two cats, and neither of them had a problem adjusting to the change in texture from standard litter. As a plus, it doesn't stick between pads as much either. You definitely want a box on hand at all times for the CatGenie, since too few in the pan will potentially put off the cat and also possibly result in a basin-filling error on the cat genie -- they displace a certain amount of the wash water, and the Genie will think it's taking too long to fill if they aren't there taking up room. A certain amount will be consumed during each wash -- some will stick to "solids" and a few others will cling to the scooper despite the shaking action it uses. A good product to consider for subscription shipment to prevent an emergency next-day-air situation.

Love the machine a lot lighter and easier than regular cat litter

Cat Genie Washable Granules are the only litter that can be used in the fantastic electronic Cat Genie. Petnovations who make the Cat Genie ships them out immediately and I get great service, but the shipping costs are definitely there. With Amazon, I get Prime 2 day free shipping. The granules are the exact bio-degradable granules that Petnovations sells. They are the only litter that can be used in the Cat Genie. They are washable, sanitizable, and CLEAN. Do NOT try to use these as a regular litter because they are meant to be washed, sanitized, and dried by the Cat Genie. They are fantastic and there is NEVER a smell of cat litter in my home. They do not absorb the way regular litter does, but they are there to satisfy the cat's need to dig and cover their deposits until the sensor in the Genie turns on the wash and dry cycle. Now with Amazon selling these granules, I'll always be able to have an extra box on hand. One box lasts for about 3 weeks for me with 2 cats using the Genie. Couldn't do without them.

Lo compré pensando que era complemento del aparato catgenie,.. El mismo que anunciáis, que Lugo llegó otra cosa diferente, con lo cual me comí la tierra al no tener devolución.

Excellent produit juste un gros défaut de livraison mais sinon parfait

works good

Awesome product. But to have a use for it you will need the catgenie.

The granules do what they are meant to. I tried a bunch of different alternatives in the catgenie (even though you're not supposed to) like bird seed, fine gravel, other cheaper granule beads but my cats didn't like it and the bowl didn't work 100% either. They did the job but if the cat doesn't like it then you have an expensive useless litter box. The granules are more expensive than the other things but if it works and my cats use the litter box then its worth it. It's still cheaper than buying regular litter every month and cleaning it all the time too.
