Making life with pets endlessly better
Our story
It all started with Brad, 2 cats …
and too much poop.
It was 1999 after a long workday and Brad Baxter—inventor and founder—was down in the basement cleaning the mess his 2 inherited cats had made. The litter box was full, stinking, and neglected. As he bent down and scooped he started thinking, “How can I make this easier for myself and better for the cats?”
After multiple sketches and prototypes, Brad engineered an automatic, self-cleaning litter box—and Litter-Robot was born. The breakthrough idea was a sifting rotational method that filtered clumps into a waste drawer, leaving a clean bed of litter every time.
20 years and dozens more inventions later, Whisker is now 400+ employees strong and an international leader in pet products and technology. We’re on a mission to transform the future of pet care and build beautifully functional products that help make life with your pet endlessly better.
