What happens if my cat tries to enter the Globe while it is rotating?
The Cat Sensor will detect your cat once he enters the Globe and the motor will stop.
Once your cat leaves the Globe, the Litter-Robot will wait 15 seconds before attempting
to resume the cycle. See Cat Re-Entry Protection on page 32.
Are there any rakes or wires inside the Globe?
No, the Globe does not contain any rakes or wires that could hurt or harm your cat. The
Litter-Robot was designed with your cat’s safety in mind.
Are the electronics or power source dangerous to my cat?
No, there are no electrical components inside the Globe. The Litter-Robot operates on a
safe 15 Volts DC using an adapter very similar to the ones you may have at home for a
clock radio or for charging your cell phone.
Will the Globe turn while my cat is inside?
No, the Globe will not turn while your cat is inside. The Cat Sensor is tripped each time a
cat enters, or re-enters the Globe, resetting the countdown timer to prevent the Clean
cycle from starting for another 7 minutes.
What happens if the Globe jams?
If Globe jams or an excessive load condition occurs, the unit will detect the condition
using our Overload Detection (see page 33). In addition, the Litter-Robot is equipped
with an Anti-Pinch Safety Feature (see page 32).
Does the Litter-Robot require special litter?
No, the Litter-Robot simply requires clumping litter. We recommend a high-quality,
clay-based clumping litter. Use of lightweight litters, such as corn or wheat, may require
more weight to activate the Cat Sensor. Some silica gel litter beads and crystals can
also be used with the Litter-Robot, as long as they pass through the screen.
Litters that do not work in the Litter-Robot are the strictly absorbent, non-clumping or
loose-clumping litters, newspaper-based litters and absorbent wood pellet litter.
Does the Litter-Robot work with Feline Pine?
No, Feline Pine pellets are too large to pass through the sifting screen, which prevents
the litter sifting system from working properly. Feline Pine clumping is also too fluffy to
effectively pass through the sifting screen.
