General
Operation & Safety
How does a Poopy work?
Smart sensors detect when your cat uses the litter box. As soon as your cat is done, the rotating drum filters out the clumps and collects them in an airtight Poopy . You’ll never have to scoop again. Learn how Poopy works.
Is a rotating litter box safe for my cat?
Yes, first of all because of its open design: the drum rotates on its own axis and the compartment remains open at all times, so your cat can go in and out whenever it wants. On top of that, the cleaning process stops immediately as soon as the sensors detect a cat. Read all about safety.
Can I smell the trash can in the house?
After each cleaning, the clumps are immediately disposed in a waste bag in the airtight waste compartment. The odor stays inside the litter box, not in your home. This keeps your home fresh.
Does Poopy work when I'm on vacation?
Yes. The Poopy continues to clean itself, and you can monitor it from anywhere using the app. If you'll be away for more than a week, ask your house sitter to empty the waste compartment.
Adjustment & Suitability
Will my cat get used to an automatic litter box?
Most cats make the switch within a few days; 93% of Poopy are never returned. With our transition guide, you can help your cat adjust in three phases, at its own pace, and you get a 50-day trial period. Go to the transition guide.
For which cats is Poopy ?
For cats weighing 1 kg or more, and up to 3 cats per litter box. For very young kittens, a regular litter box is the safer choice for the time being.
Is Poopy for kittens?
Starting at around 12 weeks (and at least 1 kg), your kitten can safely use a Poopy. We don’t recommend using it any earlier: kittens under 12 weeks may ingest clumping litter, which isn’t without risk. At first, turn off the automatic cleaning feature and follow the getting-started guide.

What litter should I use?
Poopy This is a precision machine, calibrated for our own Poopy grit (Fusion grit). If you use a different grit or one that is too coarse and the machine breaks as a result, your warranty will be void.

Daily: nothing. Other than that, replace the waste bag every now and then, top off the litter every 1 to 2 weeks, and give it a thorough cleaning from time to time. Check out the maintenance timeline.
