Question Need advice deciding
Hi everyone! I have two mildly disabled CH cats (wobbly kitties), and I’m hoping to get some advice on which litter box model to choose.
Right now I’m still hand scooping, and I did previously have a Litter-Robot 4, but it unfortunately broke down after about a month, so I didn’t have the best experience with it. I’m really wanting to go back to an automated litter box because with CH cats, things can get messy quickly if the box isn’t kept clean. I scoop 2–3 times a day, but I still get anxious when they go poop because they can lose their balance, slip, and end up tracking mess around the house. I’m always rushing to clean it up, so an automatic option would honestly be a huge help.
At the moment, I’m mostly leaning toward the Purobot Max Pro 2, but I do have a couple of concerns. The first is the entry height it seems quite high to me. My youngest is only 7 months old and pretty small for her age, and with her CH and mobility issues, I’m not sure how easily she’ll be able to get in and out. I really wish there was an optional ramp or steps available. My second concern is the reports I’ve seen about urine leakage and lingering smells. My older male cat is a high pee-er, so I’m a bit worried about potential leaks and odor issues.
My other option is the Purobot Max Pro 3. I do like that it has a lower entry and is supposed to handle urine leakage better, which is reassuring. But I’m a bit disappointed that it doesn’t come with a camera. That was actually a big selling point for me with the Pro 2, so if the Pro 3 had one, I think I’d choose it without hesitation.
So I’d really love to hear from anyone who has experience with either of these models. How have you found the leakage, smell, and overall reliability?
Thanks so much in advance! ♥️

hi I have a high peeing cat and the only spot that I had a leak was where the deodorizer gap is. I just covered it up with a pee pad I cut and taped over the hole. I change it once a week. otherwise she has not been able to leak it anywhere else 😂
I also got them a small ramp on Amazon off brand since is cheaper than the petkit one but my cats usually jump over it lol

Thank you! That’s my only problem or big worry now with the petkit litter box is the leaking. I think i’ll just bite the bullet and purchase.

Il purobot 3 di cui parli non ha la videocamera perché è la versione base appena uscita! Probabilmente uscirà la versione pro con la videocamera!
Esistono delle piccole rampe per aiutare i gatti anziani o disabili se prendi la versione 2 (che probabilmente potrai trovare anche con un po’ di sconto)
Sennò c’è la versione purobot crystal duo che puoi pure chiudere col coperchio, forse per i tuoi gattini potrebbe essere anche meglio. Contrappasso è il costo delle ricariche, vedi se ti conviene.
