Did you actually buy the Lift n Sift? I saw that online but dont' know anyone that has one. Did it
work as well as you were epecting or was it just a hassle? Just curious what your personal thoughts
were...
>>There's two products that we've considered. We chose a similar 3 stack

Looks like it would work ok but I need something a little deeper and
bigger. My one likes to go right next to the edge and a lot of the
time with a short one it end up on the mat under it then she digs the
litter out of the box to try and cover it then I have to clean up the
whole mess !!
UGH !!!!!! :-(

Yes, we actually bought that one. We paid around $15 for it at Petco a
couple of years ago. I saw the ones where you had to twist and turn them
around to arrange the lines up and I thought it was a pain. With this one,
you don't.
It works extremely well. They say you can even use clay litter, but we've
found with experimentation that if you buy the better litters, you get less
odor, quicker cleanup, and longer-lasting litter. Our favorite is
Everclean, but since we're out of that price category with today's economy,
we get the Sam's Club litter which clumps as well and controls odor almost
as well. You get every little bit of clump out (few to no crumbles).
My husband actually does most of the litter (all of it since we found out we
were expecting) and he loves it (he's had cats his entire life). It only
takes him a couple of minutes to do it. He shakes the top rack from side to
side, empties it into the trash, puts it in the empty bottom tray and then
dumps the rest of the litter on top of it. If its a litter-changing day, he
can just dump out the whole thing easily or screen and then dump. He can
sanitize the extra tray whenever he wants so it will be clean for the next
batch of litter. It works like a dream.
The only complaint might be a slight amount of dust from shaking it. You
don't get that with scooping, but with this pan you don't have to spend five
minutes "hunting for treasure" either.
