At least I now know how to almost completely pull it apart to find the offending block (and how to avoid the pooh water when I have to manually dump it). If the cartridge runs out while you are out of town the unit completely stops running and starts beeping until you or a pet sitter turns it off. Plus I still have to have the littermaid for the other cat, so it didn't really replace anything. But if you figure out how to override the chip so the carts can be reused, I'll be happy to give that a try!

I remember the first electric litter box he bought. It was a hot stinky mess. This time he was telling me that we would be connecting the thing to water and the drain. I was NOT optimistic. I must say though, that I was really, really surprised and impressed with Cat Genie. We literally don't have to deal with cat waste any more. I agree that the only complaint is that the scented litter smells too strong...I'm looking forward to getting the unscented stuff. Cat Genie was definitely worth the gamble. Yay Michael!
