As a cat sitter who JUST pushed the empty button and didn’t know how to get out of it - thank you, thank you. From the bottom of the my heart!!! RUclips and people like you never let me down in my 5 years on the job!!!!!!
So I recently started a pet sitting job a few weeks ago. At a new client’s house this morning, I discovered 4 of these litter robots and had never used one before. The first thing I did was hit empty lol. I then found your video and was able to correct the situation. Thank you so much for making this video- I feel a lot more prepared for the next time!!
BRILLIANT INSTRUCTIONAL/DEMO VIDEO for cat sitters, Jenny!!! I am sure TONS of folks will find this very helpful!!! WTG!!! Big hugs & lots of love!! :)
you're welcome - enjoy! be sure to read their book though for ways to introduce your cat to it - for example, DO NOT turn it on in front of your cats until s/he is using it.
Awesome video! Just what I needed! Idk if anyone else has this problem but sometimes my litter robot gets stuck and to fix this you either need to turn it off and unplug it and it should fix but if not then you need to lift the globe and put it back on the rotator cuff thing
Wonderful idea, easy when you know. A great machine. Keeps it clean for our kittys. Rich and Ragdoll Tommy & big sister Sue-way Love from three fans in LA. California
Watched your videos, THANKS!…we have a cat who is a big boy…and he used it the next day! Yes he pooped on the floor while we were disposing of his original litter, I get that… now I’m thrilled! I’ll be happy to keep it in good shape, such a perfect box for both of us!
This is super informative, thank you!! I'm a sitter and for the first time ran into one of these bots. I wanted to make sure I had the appropriate amount of litter 😅 Thank you so much!!
I was given a tip to leave it unplugged at first to get cats used to the litter robot before turning it on. Just received mine looks like alot less litter than normal litter boxes ,hopefully my one cat adjust to it she is a high peeing kitty! Thanks this video helped me.
I hope she does too. Look into LRThings.com if you need a shield for high spraying kitty. And yes, LR has introduction instructions. I highly suggest following those?

@@Floppycats aww thanks so much! I have one now and love it! Although recently noticed the sensors have become more sensitive and showing the drawer as full when it’s not even halfway full. Will try re-cleaning the whole globe again and seeing if that helps. If not, oh gosh, I would probably have to buy a new one. Hopefully not yet though.
@Mo Marinetti oh gosh, i would NOT get a new one for that problem. have you reached out to Litter-Robot support? bit.ly/3nvtZCo I would try cleaning it - I wonder if some old litter has blocked the sensor panels, making it think it is full. here's my video on how to deep clean a litter robot: ruclips.net/video/50SP-zSNG2E/видео.html - see where all that litter is sitting at timestamp 3:08 - ruclips.net/video/50SP-zSNG2E/видео.html?t=188 - that's where the sensors are - you want to vacuum up that litter and also wipe down the sensors (only wipe them down)
Perfect video! I’m cat sitting now for 4 months and the owners are 9 hours ahead of me, so it’s better to be able to figure this out rather than waiting for a reply tomorrow. Another quick question: when the tray underneath is ready to be changed, will the ready light change or go off?
Here's what LR's website said: "Litter-Robot flashing blue light You’ll most commonly notice a flashing or blinking blue light on your Litter-Robot control panel. This blue light is called the Drawer Full Indicator, which means that the waste drawer is full (or approaching full) and needs to be emptied. After you have emptied the drawer and installed a new liner, hit the Reset button on the control panel-the light should return to solid blue, indicating the unit is ready for use. If you have a Connect unit, you will have to hit the Reset button in the Whisker app. Note: Sometimes the waste will pile up on one side of the waste drawer and activate the Drawer Full Indicator even when the drawer is not very full. In this case, you may need to shake the drawer to level out of the waste, then hit the Reset button on the control panel. " I usually just emptied mine every trash day. So I didn't let it get full. But when it's full, it will stop cycling. You could also just check waste drawer every few days to see if it's full.
just got my model 3 and it is for two sibling cats; one male and one female. The big boy, at 19# got in right away. The girl was more cautious. Assembly was intuitive but my only grief is that there was no manual included in the box ( or a DVD) and was difficult to find on the website. This manual is many many pages long with the operation set up deeply imbedded. Saving trees I asume but would have also emptied my printer ink cartridge.. The website also had no "contact us" which I thought was odd. So this video was helpful and thank you. So far, we are very happy. We stopped watching tv for now and now watch the cats, because they don't follow a script....
how odd - my two came with a quick start guide. litter robot has a support portal or something now. you can also utilize this support group on facebook for questions - facebook.com/groups/500310760811157

In the fall, when I was away for the weekend, coaching field hockey, I had a cat sitter check on my Ragdoll cats, Charlie and Trigg. As you guys know, we have two Litter Robot IIIs - a Grey and a Bisque Litter Robot III. …but as you also know, we have 5 litter boxes - the two LR IIIs were just two of those 5 and thank goodness they were! Although I had told my cat sitter it wasn’t necessary to touch the LR IIIs - in an effort to try and be helpful, she pressed the “Empty” button on the side of the Litter-Robot, which consequently, emptied out the entire contents of the litter that was in there, leaving the globe in the empty position and therefore making the Litter-Robot unusable. When I got home, the globe is turned upside down from the cycling and there is no where for the cats to do their business. Had I not had my other litterboxes, there could have been a lot of clean-up for me!

Great video! Thank you! I have a unit but it didnt come with instructions! One of my cats (i have 3) is cared of it cause its moves. He wont go in but the other two will, I keep a reg box for him for now. Do u think he'll adapt and grow up? LOL
that's subjective and depends on your cats, their diet, etc. but ours is about every 6 months - here's our how to video outside - ruclips.net/video/50SP-zSNG2E/видео.html - here's the how to inside - ruclips.net/video/zhHNpzk8unE/видео.html
I have asked Litter-Robot to respond, but you definitely always want to reach out to the manufacturer when you have a problem with a machine - bit.ly/3nvtZCo - especially when they have good customer support like LR.
It sounds like it's in sleep mode in addition to the yellow blinking light notification. We'll need a bit more information but would be happy to assist you. Please contact our team at your earliest convenience, litter-robot.com/help
🤦♀️. How’d I miss this?! It cycles about 7-minutes after it senses the cat has left the litter box. And yes, it needs to be constantly plugged in if you want it to operate as a self cleaning Litterbox.
not a dumb question at all. ideally, clumping litter is what is best to use. i use dr. elsey's or litter-robot's brand. here's a video with dr. elsey's ruclips.net/video/D_5XVcDya5w/видео.html and here's the video with litter robot's brand - ruclips.net/video/Hmc3XiR_LHY/видео.html . also, if you're looking to buy the Litter Robot 3, you can save $25 off your purchase through our affiliate link: bit.ly/3nvtZCo
Have you googled it? “If both the blue and yellow lights are illuminated on your Litter-Robot, it means that the unit is in 8-hour sleep mode. (The unit will not cycle automatically during those 8 hours.) If you'd like to deactivate sleep mode, press and hold the Cycle button for 5 seconds.”
Well, not sure what you think of as regular litter - but it does need clumping litter to work properly. I like Dr. Elsey's in it - ruclips.net/video/D_5XVcDya5w/видео.html
Hi, Does the litter robot 3 connect function without connecting to wifi? Do you have to use wifi for it to work as a self-cleaning litter box? Im not sure I will have my wifi on 24 hours a day...
Yes, it will still work as our Bisque one does (the one without WiFi) as a self-cleaning litterbox, as long as it is plugged into an outlet. If you end up buying one, just FYI, you can save $25 off your purchase through this link: bit.ly/3nvtZCo
The key in the back should be set down in the notch that's back there. It shouldn't be loose. Is yours new? I'd reach out to whoever you bought it from with concern.
@@Floppycats ya it’s not even two months old. I appreciate your tikes just gonna request a new unit One more question, I notice that the key rotates from the inside while the actual key on the outside remains still. Not sure if this makes any sense but didn’t know if this was part of setting it. Also notice that mine (grey wireless robot 3) doesn’t have a spring for the key. It that right?
@@nashwalker7 Gosh, I am not sure anymore - I got rid of my LR 3s over a year ago now, so cannot check and don't remember. Ask in this FB Group - facebook.com/groups/500310760811157
@@nashwalker7 Regular litterboxes. I didn't need or want automatic ones, but my readers did - so I reviewed them and kept them for 6 years. A friend (who doesn't have legs) needed them, so I gave them to her.
That answer is subjective - will vary by household. Depends on the number of cats you have, how often they pee, what their diet is, etc. I only empty mine once a week.
Does you cat sitter sleepover or come once, twice a day or every other day. I have one kitty and find myself flying down to Florida to help out my folks. My main purpose for purchasing the litter robot was to insure my Bella would always have a clean box… She also has and automatic feeder and water fountain…
I feed mine wet food - so someone comes twice a day to check on them. My cats are also very social, so being left alone for a few days without human interaction might be too much for them.
No. There is a waiting period. I think the default is 7 minutes after the cat leaves, it cycles (scoops litter). But you can change it to longer than 7 minutes if you want. So that gives litter time to clump and dry.
No problem - just take the bag out of the waste drawer - and dump the contents back into the globe of the Litter-Robot. Then reinstall the bag - ruclips.net/video/I0KlLwdB1kc/видео.html - put the waste drawer back in. Then hit "cycle" to get it to cycle normally.
It won’t cycle for 7 minutes or so (or more - you can set it) after cat has left Litterbox. It will also stop mid-cycle if it senses your cat’s weight. But if your cat has the runs you probably want to look at diet.
Is this type of litter box going to work if you have a cat that always has thick liquid poop? I just purchased Pet safe automatic litter box for 200.00 dollars with the medal rake and it makes a real mess, it just spreads his poop all over, so we will be returning it tomorrow.
@@Floppycats hes got IBS and crohns, he's been to the vet, yes he gets probiotics, he also has it in his dry food. Dr. gives him b12 shots every month. I got him the summer of 2010, he was fully grown so not sure how old he is, he has a great appetite when his crohns doesn't flare up.
@@DonHeber-eq8sb Oh man, dry food...that's one of the reasons he has IBS. Poor buddy. Sorry to hear that. If you're interested in improving his life, his diet, and his gut - and your litterbox woes - check out catinfo.org to learn more. As far as your original question - the Litter Robot will have a timer - so you could have it cycle 30 minutes after your cat leaves the box or however long it would need for that crap to solidify with the clumping litter. Otherwise, it will smear all over the inside. I wouldn't suggest an automatic litterbox until you get his system in proper working order.
@@DonHeber-eq8sb How old is he? What do you have them on? I have had a lot of success working with Pam of Purrrfectly Holistic to heal my cats. You might try a phone call with her first to see if she can help and if you want to do what she suggests.
@@kalimnrcn well, the breeder should have told you - and usually they aren't so young when they go to their new homes. have you taken it to the vet yet? the vet can also let you know.
Genève Gil It is automatic. So doesn’t need to be shown. If you want to set it that’s different. And yes, if the video was about how to set the timer, then we could have done that.
I replied to your other comment on my problems' video. Please don't spam my channel with the same comment on all of my RUclips videos. I will do my best to help you, but spamming my channel with the same comment won't help. And if you're doing that across the board on RUclips, they will mark you as a spammer too.
@@alexkharitonenko4724 ha ha ha -then best not to click on a video titled, "How the Litter-Robot 3 Works"! glad you found the answer with someone else's video, this video definitely didn't have that title or description for what you were searching for.
Hi , thanks for all information my questions is what happens ifI put the littler robot in outdoor place .I know that they recommend put in cool and indoors place but when my cats made 💩 smell bad. It’s is posible or I need to keep this inside 🫠
yes, always plugged in - unless you want to unplug it for some reason, that's fine - it's just not going to cycle. and no, it has a weight sensor and a timer - so as long as your cat is 5lbs or more - it will detect the cat, then when cat leaves, it will detect it leaving, then the timer starts - i think the default timer is 7 minutes after cat leaves, it will cycle, but you can increase timer amount, if you want.

that's sad - how long have you had it - did you take the time to get them used to it before turning it on?
I just got one and it's working backwards . Cycle rotates clockwise like empty , and clicking empty rotates the correct way .
Hmmmm...weird. Have you reached out to their support? Is it a brand new one? Here's a link to their support page: bit.ly/3nvtZCo
Do I always leave it plugged in?
Do I have to hit cycle when the cat uses it or does it do it on its own??
🤦♀️. How’d I miss this?! It cycles about 7-minutes after it senses the cat has left the litter box. And yes, it needs to be constantly plugged in if you want it to operate as a self cleaning Litterbox.
What if the cat hits the Empty button? Can you lock the buttons out?
don't think so - doubt a cat is ever going to hit it though - just because of the orientation and knowing cats.
This might be a stupid question but, do you have to use an specific cat litter? Could you recommend a good cat litter please (:
not a dumb question at all. ideally, clumping litter is what is best to use. i use dr. elsey's or litter-robot's brand. here's a video with dr. elsey's ruclips.net/video/D_5XVcDya5w/видео.html and here's the video with litter robot's brand - ruclips.net/video/Hmc3XiR_LHY/видео.html . also, if you're looking to buy the Litter Robot 3, you can save $25 off your purchase through our affiliate link:

Do you turn the litter robot off every time you remove the waste tray ?
no, definitely not.
My ready light and cycling light stays on together why is that?
Have you googled it? “If both the blue and yellow lights are illuminated on your Litter-Robot, it means that the unit is in 8-hour sleep mode. (The unit will not cycle automatically during those 8 hours.) If you'd like to deactivate sleep mode, press and hold the Cycle button for 5 seconds.”
@@Floppycats That was it thank you I appreciate it
Does this use regular litter ?
Well, not sure what you think of as regular litter - but it does need clumping litter to work properly. I like Dr. Elsey's in it - ruclips.net/video/D_5XVcDya5w/видео.html
@@Floppycats ok thank you!
Hi, Does the litter robot 3 connect function without connecting to wifi?
Do you have to use wifi for it to work as a self-cleaning litter box?
Im not sure I will have my wifi on 24 hours a day...
Yes, it will still work as our Bisque one does (the one without WiFi) as a self-cleaning litterbox, as long as it is plugged into an outlet. If you end up buying one, just FYI, you can save $25 off your purchase through this link: bit.ly/3nvtZCo
Thank you!!!
why do all the lights flash?

How lose is the arm in the back for you? Mine seems lose but I don’t know. It had it for a month and it’s making a kind of screeching sound
The key in the back should be set down in the notch that's back there. It shouldn't be loose. Is yours new? I'd reach out to whoever you bought it from with concern.
@@Floppycats ya it’s not even two months old. I appreciate your tikes just gonna request a new unit
One more question, I notice that the key rotates from the inside while the actual key on the outside remains still. Not sure if this makes any sense but didn’t know if this was part of setting it. Also notice that mine (grey wireless robot 3) doesn’t have a spring for the key. It that right?
@@nashwalker7 Gosh, I am not sure anymore - I got rid of my LR 3s over a year ago now, so cannot check and don't remember. Ask in this FB Group - facebook.com/groups/500310760811157
@@Floppycats what are ya using now?
@@nashwalker7 Regular litterboxes. I didn't need or want automatic ones, but my readers did - so I reviewed them and kept them for 6 years. A friend (who doesn't have legs) needed them, so I gave them to her.
how often do you change the waste draw?
That answer is subjective - will vary by household. Depends on the number of cats you have, how often they pee, what their diet is, etc. I only empty mine once a week.
Does you cat sitter sleepover or come once, twice a day or every other day. I have one kitty and find myself flying down to Florida to help out my folks. My main purpose for purchasing the litter robot was to insure my Bella would always have a clean box… She also has and automatic feeder and water fountain…
I feed mine wet food - so someone comes twice a day to check on them. My cats are also very social, so being left alone for a few days without human interaction might be too much for them.
is it a new color?? i thought litter robots only come in beige!
yes! they came out with the grey in december =)
Wait it doesn't go back automatically?
I have the flu, but even if I didn't - not sure I would know how to respond to this - did you watch and listen to the full video?
Is this suitable for a female ragdoll
Sure - have you seen our 2 year review video? ruclips.net/video/2mMOao7rdXk/видео.html
If it’s automatic and timed, why are they touching buttons?
a good question for my cat sitter that did it!
So it automatically starts cycling after the cat uses it and leaves?
No. There is a waiting period. I think the default is 7 minutes after the cat leaves, it cycles (scoops litter). But you can change it to longer than 7 minutes if you want. So that gives litter time to clump and dry.
I hit empty. Ugh.
No problem - just take the bag out of the waste drawer - and dump the contents back into the globe of the Litter-Robot. Then reinstall the bag - ruclips.net/video/I0KlLwdB1kc/видео.html - put the waste drawer back in. Then hit "cycle" to get it to cycle normally.
What if your cat has the runs and he has to run back in when its cycling?🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀
It won’t cycle for 7 minutes or so (or more - you can set it) after cat has left Litterbox. It will also stop mid-cycle if it senses your cat’s weight. But if your cat has the runs you probably want to look at diet.
@@Floppycats 🐱I'm sorry I was serious yet laughing when it popped in my head,Thank you kindly for the reply!🐈
@@karimoon5323 no worries.
Is this type of litter box going to work if you have a cat that always has thick liquid poop? I just purchased Pet safe automatic litter box for 200.00 dollars with the medal rake and it makes a real mess, it just spreads his poop all over, so we will be returning it tomorrow.
Probably not. I’d address getting the diet right so you don’t have those poops. What diet is he on? Have you tried probiotics?
@@Floppycats hes got IBS and crohns, he's been to the vet, yes he gets probiotics, he also has it in his dry food. Dr. gives him b12 shots every month. I got him the summer of 2010, he was fully grown so not sure how old he is, he has a great appetite when his crohns doesn't flare up.
@@DonHeber-eq8sb Oh man, dry food...that's one of the reasons he has IBS. Poor buddy. Sorry to hear that. If you're interested in improving his life, his diet, and his gut - and your litterbox woes - check out catinfo.org to learn more.
As far as your original question - the Litter Robot will have a timer - so you could have it cycle 30 minutes after your cat leaves the box or however long it would need for that crap to solidify with the clumping litter. Otherwise, it will smear all over the inside. I wouldn't suggest an automatic litterbox until you get his system in proper working order.
@@Floppycats Of course I'm interested in curing his gut problem. We love our cats.
@@DonHeber-eq8sb How old is he? What do you have them on? I have had a lot of success working with Pam of Purrrfectly Holistic to heal my cats. You might try a phone call with her first to see if she can help and if you want to do what she suggests.
hello my ragdoll is 2 mounth old boy . he soesnt like to be loved on ... biting always .. :S i dont know what to do . is it normal for ragdol kittys?
2 months old? is he teething?
@@Floppycats my first cat :( i dont know
@@kalimnrcn well, the breeder should have told you - and usually they aren't so young when they go to their new homes. have you taken it to the vet yet? the vet can also let you know.
You're not suppose to have it against any walls
yes, i know - many subscribers have told me that - this video is 2 years old.
Didn't show us how to use the timer.
The timer? That’s all automatic. No need to show....
@@Floppycats that is inaccurate. The timer setting can be changed, and that does need to be shown.
Genève Gil It is automatic. So doesn’t need to be shown. If you want to set it that’s different. And yes, if the video was about how to set the timer, then we could have done that.
This is a scam. there is no warranty and no technical support. They didn't fix my robot still in warranty
I replied to your other comment on my problems' video. Please don't spam my channel with the same comment on all of my RUclips videos. I will do my best to help you, but spamming my channel with the same comment won't help. And if you're doing that across the board on RUclips, they will mark you as a spammer too.
Why not showing how to set a cycle 3 minute 7minute or 15minutes 🙁
Ha ha. I guess that video would be called, “how to set a cycle time on the Litter Robot 3”, right?
@@Floppycats i dont care watching how it works , need it to find how to change cycle. Found somebody elses video. 😉
@@alexkharitonenko4724 ha ha ha -then best not to click on a video titled, "How the Litter-Robot 3 Works"! glad you found the answer with someone else's video, this video definitely didn't have that title or description for what you were searching for.
You hired a stupid cat sitter 😅
Jesus christ my ears
was your volume control not working?
@@Floppycats i had my phone at full volume because the last video i watched was so quiet then i got screamed at 😂🤣
@@TylerSmith-sd2oc my apologies to your ears =)
Hi , thanks for all information my questions is what happens ifI put the littler robot in outdoor place .I know that they recommend put in cool and indoors place but when my cats made 💩 smell bad. It’s is posible or I need to keep this inside 🫠
I don't know...sorry. I am not experienced with having them outside.
Do I always leave it plugged in?
Do I have to hit cycle when the cat uses it or does it do it on its own??
yes, always plugged in - unless you want to unplug it for some reason, that's fine - it's just not going to cycle. and no, it has a weight sensor and a timer - so as long as your cat is 5lbs or more - it will detect the cat, then when cat leaves, it will detect it leaving, then the timer starts - i think the default timer is 7 minutes after cat leaves, it will cycle, but you can increase timer amount, if you want.
