Still have questions?
We've tested this across real homes and cats. Here are the most common things people ask.
Five out of six cats in testing used it immediately.
For that one that's unsure, sprinkle a layer of their old litter on top. The familiar texture helps them transition, and you can phase it out gradually (or not at all).
The system works alongside other litters during the switch.
Not in the way most litter does.
Traditional litter builds up smell over time because waste just sits there. This system works differently, since smell only becomes noticeable when the system is overloaded (for example, if it's never scooped or there's more waste than the substrate can handle).
In normal use, with occasional scooping, it stays balanced and avoids that sudden "full litter box" smell.
You don't have to, but it helps.
The system will continue working with zero scooping, but occasional scooping extends its lifespan and keeps things fresher for longer.
You'll notice it.
Instead of suddenly turning bad, the smell slowly creeps up. When it reaches the okay this needs changing stage, empty the top soil layer to reset the system.
No litter is zero-tracking, but the mat keeps it under control.
The system includes a two-stage tracking mat:
- larger fibres catch clumps
- microfibre picks up the fine particles that cling from static.
Less than most litters.
It's designed to stay slightly damp, which keeps dust down. If it starts to dry out, lightly mist or sprinkle a bit of water over the surface.
Cats have been using soil to bury waste for millions of years. This just brings that behaviour indoors in a controlled system.
If your cat has a specific medical condition, check with your vet before switching.
Same rules as any litter:
- wash your hands after handling it
- don't treat it like food.
Avoid setting it up or changing it around pregnant or immunocompromised people, just to be safe.
Toxoplasmosis can be present in cat waste, and standard composting doesn't reliably kill it.
For safety:
- wash your hands after handling the litter
- don't use it on edible plants
- dispose of responsibly.
If you want to fully sterilise it before disposal, seal it and leave it in the sun for 18 months.
Not if it's used correctly.
A healthy system with proper airflow doesn't create the conditions bugs or mould need. For peace of mind, you can sprinkle the bioenzyme liquid over the upper or lower layer for a quick refresh.
Yes.
It's designed specifically for indoor environments and doesn't rely on strong fragrances or chemicals.
The general rule still applies: one litter box per cat, plus one.
You can use it for multiple cats, but it will fill faster and need more frequent maintenance.
Yes.
The standard size suits most cats. The jumbo size is better for larger cats, multi-cat households, or longer times between refreshes.
No.
You'll mainly be refreshing the top layer. The lower layer, plastic components, and tracking mat are designed to last much longer.
Yes.
You can mix it with your current litter during the transition, or run both side by side.
Recycled paper or cardboard works best as a light sprinkle on top rather than mixed through.
Not really.
Worms don't do well here. The conditions are too acidic, and they need more depth and organic material to survive.
