 Does not work as advertised July 12, 2008

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! The box says that the pads last "up to a week" which they would if you did not let your cat drink any water! They might last four days, then the smell of urine starts drifting from the box. I only bought this as an "extra" box for my cat when I have to leave him for a few days by himself, and thought that this would provide him with a cleaner box for that time. It does if it is only urine, because once solid waste is in the box, he will not use it. And he will not use it after four days because of the smell of pee. The pads are gross, and WAY overpriced. Not at all the convience that it is advertised as.

I have long loathed the standard litter box system and have spent plenty of time researching the expensive self scoopers, the flushing systems, etc. only to find that they all had their flaws and unhappy customers. I have held out and suffered with the smelly, tracking, scoopable litter in a regular pan...until now! When the Breeze system came out, I really didn't see how we could go wrong. The price point is perfect and low and behold- it works!
I followed the directions for transitioning our kitty and she moved over to the Breeze box almost immediately! No odor and FINALLY no litter all over the bathroom floor. Just scoop the poop out (sifting away the pellets) with the included scoop and replace the pad once a week. The pellets will last a month.
Love it!
 Worked great for pee & hard poo, BUT could not stand the poop smell July 4, 2008

Back when I used the breeze cat system, there were 4 cats in the apartment (2 are my cats, and the other 2 were my brother's cats that I was temporarily taking care for him). I had the breeze next to the original litter box for 3 days and none of the cats used it. They all went on top of the pellets to check it out but did not pee/poop in there. One of the cats tried to eat a pellet and I took it away from him. I *think* none of them actually ate it.
On the 4th day, I took the original litter box away, and then they all started using the breeze. There were no "accidents" in the apartment and I did not find pee or poop on the floor or carpet. I think the fact that I placed some of the pellets with their original litter really helped them get accustomed to the product (and also since the breeze system was sitting there for 3 days, they were at least familiarized with it).
The pad that sucked up the pee worked really well. I experimented to figure out the right time to change the pad for the 4 cats. It turned out to be every 3 days. As for hard poop, I was ok with it staying at the top of the system and would pick it up with a plastic bag and throw it out (very easy).
The problem is with the runny/watery poop which will go all over the pellets and is tougher and takes longer to clean. A lot of the pellets ended up getting thrown out once the watery poop touched them. Also, this system does not do anything to help minimize the poop smell, which is the main complaint for my boyfriend regarding this system. In the end, we did not keep the breeze because the smell was too horrible. Even if you clean it up immediately after the cat pooped, the smell was still there.
We went back to the original litter box. I am going to keep my eye on this product to see if tidy cats come out with better pellets that will do something about poop smell. If that time ever comes, I would buy it because I know my cats will use this system & it did wonders for the pee... now if only the poop situation works out!

This is heaven sent and heaven scent, too! I have six indoor cats from the days when I was a volunteer with a cat rescue group. I love it! I have 5 of them and they couldn't be better. No urine odor is in my house anymore. And, I love the way they keep the water in where it doesn't drip out. I have one diabetic cat and it even holds all the urine he produces. If you are considering this....BUY IT!
My tips for making this system work August 24, 2008

We have 3 long haired cats and have tried every litter box under the sun that promised "no tracking". This system is the first that truly delivered. WE still get a few pellets outside the boxes but they are easy to pick up with our hand vacuum.
We've been using the system for 4 months now and here are some tricks we found to make it work. We find that Pet Fresh (made by Arm & Hammer and usually used for carpets is a BIG help in keeping the odors under control. It's really cheap too.)
1. Right after they go number 2, we sprinkle Pet Fresh on it. This is because one of our cats doesn't cover his poops after he goes. The scoop works best after they have a chace to dry our a little.
2. The loose stool issue. This can be a real mess trying to get them out with a scoop. I found that using paper towels or toilet paper to pick them up is the easiest and cleanest way to get them out.
3. The pan that holds the pads starts to retail the smell of urine after a month or 2. Solution: Sprinkle Pet Fresh on the pan, then put the pad in the pan.
4. Issue: the sides of the pan start to smell and poop gets stuck to it. Solution: We keep Wipes, paper towels and spray cleaner near the box and wipe the box and scoop whenever it gets bad.
5. Expense: We have found that if we look out for coupons and sales we can get the pads for about a dollar each and the pellets last a month in each box. We used to change the litter ever week and went through so much that we have found this system to actually be cheaper. The worst place to buy the pellets and pads is Petco - they are triple the price. Best place for us has been Target and Stop & Shop - we stock up when they are on sale.
6. Transitioning: It took us almost a month of increasing adding the pellets to the old litter. Every time we scooped the old litter we added more pellets. The whole time we had the new system right next to the old one. By the time the old system was almost all pellets they were using both so we got more breezes and got rid of the old. We did have a couple times where they went outside the box, but that was it.
It wasn't easy to change, but to not have litter and urine tracked all over the house is such a god send that it was well worth the trouble. My greatest fear is that they might stop making the refills! I was glad to read that someone said you could use the system without with the pads if you dump the urine every day. That would be not be ideal but it's nice to know it works. I was also thinking you could use doggie pee pads if necessary. As for the pellets, I'm going to try "Yesterdays' News" pellets and see if they would work. or may even tiny river rocks that are washable? washable pellets you don't have to replace would be awesome for the environment. Trouble is they won't get to make as money off them - but I"m going to be on the look out for something that works!
