Anyone heard anything on this? I have seen the design and like the way it
is designed much better than littermaid (if for no other reason than the
rake is so much easier to clean!)

I am burned out on the littermaids for many small reasons. They just are
not tough enough for 8 cats!

My rescue group works out of a petsmart and I see a lot come back.

I had heard some rumours on that but had no concrete proof on why. That's
what I am hoping for here. I am reeeeeeaaaaalllllllyyyy tired of having my
littermaids croak 2 days out of warranty and they seem to require way too
much cleaning on the rakes after a few months. It is almost as labor
intensive as hand scooping a litterbox

I want a replacement!

I have been using the Purrforma since I rescued my Siamese in February, I
have had no problems with it. You have to use a premium kitty litter, self
clumping doesn't work really well with the rake. I have also added Cat
Attract when I got my Bengal Girls, since they were not used to one. They
have excellent litter box habits! To clean the rake all you have to do is
lift it out of the tracks it is in and tap against the side of the litter box.
Anything caught on it will drop off, you can then scoop it out. I did buy two
since getting the girls. I do clean them out daily to beat the smell factor,
I don't like to use scented litter! The cats don't like it either. I bought
them both on Ebay for under the normal price even with shipping charges. I
did buy one that worked for a week and then quit, I have 'discussing' it with
Ebay/Paypal at this time. I did buy from an Auction Drop seller, I DO NOT
RECOMMEND ANYONE BUY FROM AUCTION DROP... you have no recourse, they sell for
someone else and once they pay that person, you are on your own! So the two
good deals have significantly had price raises! If you are really interested,
do a search on the web and if you can find them with the top for under $199.
00 it is a good deal.. If you work, like both me and my husband it is worth
the initial expense!
