CATLINK Scooper Pro Ultra review

A camera-equipped enclosed globe, offered as Pro Ultra CL-CG-01

The CATLINK Scooper Pro Ultra is the enclosed rotating globe in this family with a built-in 1080p camera. The exact U.S. product JSON names the single-unit SKU CL-CG-01 and three other packages with a ramp or a second machine. The listing shows app controls and dual-band 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi, so it has a more advanced connected feature set than the basic manual-driven Young Pro-X. As checked on 2026-10-23, the page was taking pre-orders and said shipping would start October 28; stock and delivery timing should be checked again rather than assumed from that dated page.

One major limitation is documentation. The support-center link for Pro Ultra leads to the older Pro-X manual, whose specifications identify CL-07/08. That is not an exact CL-CG-01 manual. I have not transferred those controls or maintenance instructions to the Ultra. Use the exact CL-CG-01 instructions when supplied, and ask CATLINK for the correct manual if any operation or cleaning step is unclear.

Camera and connection are the differentiator

CATLINK lists a 1080p camera inside the product and app-based viewing; the single-camera design is not the same as a dual-camera system. Its product copy describes camera monitoring and activity, but video availability beyond the included trial depends on current app/account terms. Check whether video is stored locally or requires an ongoing plan and whether the camera can be disabled in the app before placing the box in a private space. A camera view or usage log is not an identity guarantee or health diagnosis.

The current page specifies support for both 2.4 and 5GHz. That is a useful distinction from many connected models whose band is uncertain or limited. Dual-band support still depends on actual setup and home coverage, so test the connection where the unit will sit. The model has app control, but it is not a simple offline machine like the Young Pro-X; if you need physical-only operation or no camera, compare the other options before buying.

Size, litter and household limits

The maker states a 65-liter globe, 13-liter drawer and an enclosed footprint around 28 inches high by 22.8 wide by 23.6 deep. The general entry is about 14 inches above the floor. Measure the doorway, approach, route into the home and space needed to slide out the drawer. A roomy chamber on paper does not make every enclosed rotating design comfortable for every cat.

CATLINK's copy and FAQ support clumping litter, including bentonite and selected mixed or plant-based formulations, but the general compatibility guidance rules out pellets, non-clumping material and long tofu pieces that will not pass the screen. Use clumping litter that the exact manual approves. Drawer timing also deserves restraint: the maker uses up-to-14-day language for a single cat in one source, but general CATLINK advice points toward more frequent 7–11-day cleaning. Treat 13 liters as a stated volume, not a leave-it-alone schedule; check waste routinely.

The Pro Ultra FAQ says up to five cats, while another product claim is less precise. Treat five as the published upper household guide, not as an assurance of a five-cat waste interval or activity accuracy. The minimum weight claim conflicts: product-page copy shows one lower threshold while the Ultra FAQ says not below 3 kilograms. There is no exact-model manual to resolve that difference, so the matcher does not confirm a minimum weight or kitten age. If either is essential, ask CATLINK before use. Do not assume this camera version is appropriate for a very small cat simply because another CATLINK manual covers a nearby model.

Four packages and an accessory ramp

The current product JSON lists the single CL-CG-01; a ramp set, CL-CG-01/CL-LBPS-01; the Double Set, CL-CG-01/CL-CG-01; and a Ramp Double Set with two machines and two ramps. The single product artwork visibly includes the camera region; package renders distinguish one unit, the extra step and two-unit sets. The ramp changes access, not the sensing or cleaning mechanism. Buying two machines does not by itself raise the manufacturer’s stated household rating.

At the date checked, the JSON showed the four options available for pre-order. Check the offer’s current ship date, package contents and warranty. Do not read an accessory shown in a render as included unless the chosen exact package SKU says it is.

Who should choose the Pro Ultra?

It is worth considering if a single-camera view, app connection and dual-band Wi-Fi are genuinely useful, you want an enclosed automatic globe, and you are comfortable obtaining exact CL-CG-01 instructions and verifying the minimum-weight conflict. Skip it if you require a confirmed low-weight limit, a known kitten rule, dual cameras, a no-app design or a fixed drawer interval. Those are not established by its available source set.

For a clearer small-cat and physical-control discussion, compare the manual-backed Young Pro-X; it lacks an app and is rated for one cat. For a more minimal app-controlled enclosure, see the Scooper SE Lite, but its exact manual is also missing and its listing was sold out when checked. A camera-rich alternative like CATLINK’s Scoop Robot Pro uses two cameras but has several of its own unresolved operating details. Choose by the particular feature and fit you need—not by the word “Ultra” or a video image alone—and supervise the cat through a gradual changeover.
