6.
YOUR CAT AND YOUR CATGENIE
Every cat is different. From our experience with over 15,000 cats, most, once
shown the Bowl and Granules, know it’s where to go and use it immediately.
If CatGenie is in the same place as the litter box, adjustment is usually easier.
A percentage of cats need time to adjust to something new. During this time,
it is safe and normal for cats to refrain from “going” in the first 24 to 48 hours. Do not
make a fuss over the CatGenie. Act normal, natural. Let your cats be curious. Do not
hover about. Do not follow your cats into their bathroom. Praise and treat them when
they use CatGenie. Orange Cat Acclimation Guide has full details and techniques.
WARNING:
1)
If your cats do
NOT use CatGenie
immediately, put their
old litter box nearby.
DO NOT clean out
old box. The dirtier it
gets, the more cats
prefer CatGenie.
Once your cats use
CatGenie, remove
the old box and litter.
2)
When running CatGenie
in the first week, shut the door
or make sure your cats are not
nearby. The new sound of the
cleaning process might startle
them. Over time your cats will
associate the sound with their
new, always clean cat box.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I RUN MY CATGENIE?
One Cat..........Clean 1-2 times per day
Two Cats.........Clean 2-3 times per day
Three Cats......Clean 3-4 times per day

3)
Until your cats are
comfortable with CatGenie,
only press START / PAUSE
to initiate cleaning. In time,
you can program the Auto
Setup to start the CatGenie
automatically. See page 5
in Green Owner’s Guide.
NOTE:
Unless you know
that your cats are NOT using the
CatGenie, it is important to run at
least one cleaning cycle per cat
every day. Clean even if you do
not see any waste in the box as
urine does NOT show on the
Washable Granules.
Do NOT mix cat
litter or add used
litter with Washable
Granules in the
CatGenie Bowl.
Cat litter causes
severe damage to
the CatGenie and
its use voids your
Warranty.

BEFORE SETTING UP YOUR CATGENIE, TAKE CARE OF YOUR CATS!
If the CatGenie goes in a location different than
the old litter box, DO NOT set up CatGenie yet.
First move the old litter box to the new area.
CAUTION: If the litter box or boxes need to
be moved a great distance, our cat behaviorists
recommend moving the old box or boxes little by
little, slowly over time to the new location so that
your cats can adjust to the change. When cats
