How Litter-Robot works

Litter-Robot automatically cleans your cat’s waste, so you never have to scoop again.

No scooping, simplified

1

When your cat exits the Litter-Robot, a timer counts down, allowing the litter to clump before the clean cycle begins.

2

During the clean cycle, the globe slowly rotates. The patented sifting process separates the clumps from the clean litter.

3

The clumps are deposited into a fully enclosed waste drawer located below the globe with a carbon filter for absorbing odors.

4

The globe returns to the home position, leaving a clean bed of litter for the next use.

5

Simply empty the waste drawer when indicated by the app or the control panel, and add litter as needed.

Safety & care

Cat sensor safety system

A weight-sensitive switch detects when your cat enters and exits, making sure the globe won't rotate while your cat is inside.

Kitty is protected

Additional safety features ensure every curious cat is protected; if kitty re-enters the globe while rotating, the globe will stop and reverse direction.

Easy to clean

The simple modular design provides easy access for regular cleaning.

No required accessories

Our add-ons are great for customizing your Litter-Robot but any clumping litter or regular trash bag works, too.

FAQ

Does the Litter-Robot require special litter?

The Litter-Robot does not require special litter or proprietary consumables like several other self-cleaning litter boxes on the market. In fact, the Litter-Robot works well with almost any clumping litter. Litter beads and crystals that are small enough to pass through the screen will also work in the Litter-Robot. Alternative, plant-based litters may also work, but these tend to form looser clumps that can cause condensation in the waste drawer. The Litter-Robot is not compatible with litters that are strictly absorbent, non-clumping, loose-clumping, newspaper-based, or wood-based pellets.
How often do you empty a self-cleaning litter box?
What happens if my cat tries to enter the globe while it is rotating?

The Litter-Robot was designed with your cat’s safety in mind. If your cat tries to enter the globe while it is rotating, the Litter-Robot will stop immediately. The cat sensor will detect your cat (by weight) and turn off the motor. It will wait 15 seconds, then attempt to resume the cleaning cycle. If your cat or something else is still tripping the cat sensor, the Litter-Robot will not resume the cleaning cycle and a series of lights will flash indicating the problem.
