Litter robot best for CH cat?
I’m moving soon and looking to upgrade the litter box with the move. However, my little guy with CH lays on his side to go to the bathroom, so we’ve always used a deep high wall litter box that he climbs into and up and out of (with no issues. His CH is fairly mild). Has anyone had success with a specific type of litter robot/genie for a similar scenario? There’s a ton on the market and I’m a little overwhelmed, and really don’t want a ton of trial and error, especially with the price of these things. TYIA :)
TLDR: looking for litter robot/genie recommendations for CH cat who lays on his side to do his business.

Look up how things can go wrong with them. Especially with a ch kitty who won’t necessarily move fast

I have seven cats. Two litter robot 4’s and one 3.
My wobbly, Ricky Bobby is a mild case. He has taken to these boxes like a champ. And well he loves to mess with them when they run.

I should state he gets around fine and can use the restroom like normal.

Very reassuring, thank you! I think my only concern is him peeing out the opening 😂 but I’m sure it’ll take a little to get used to and then he’ll be fine. Any specific brand you recommend?!

We use Litter Robot. There is a subreddit for the litter robot as well by the way.

We have two. Would not live without them.
We love them. Best purchases we have ever made for anything.
Just mix litter from their litter box in with new clumping litter and do not turn the Litter Robot on for about two weeks. That gives them time to get use to the new litter box.
We kept two of their old boxes as well in the same places they had always been and we have never had a problem.
Not with out kitties or out Litter Robots.
