The highest-rated self-cleaning litter box

A self-cleaning litter box offers many benefits for both cats and pet parents by automatically providing a clean bed of litter every time your cat needs to go. Cats naturally prefer a clean place to do their business and if they’re presented with a dirty litter box, they may go outside the litter box or not go at all—potentially leading to a host of health problems. A self-cleaning litter box like Litter-Robot eliminates the need for pet parents to have to scoop, saving time and frustration brought on by an unpleasant chore. Additional benefits include better managing odour control, keeping cats’ paws cleaner, and helping reduce litter usage. With Litter-Robot, you’re not just buying a self-cleaning litter box—you’re getting a better way of life with your cat!

Most cats acclimate to Litter-Robot just fine. The trick is to ease your cat into the transition. We recommend placing Litter-Robot near the old litter box without removing the old litter box yet. Take a cup of litter from the old litter box and add it to the clean litter in Litter-Robot to provide a familiar scent. If you have an increasingly skittish or skeptical kitty, leave Litter-Robot turned off until you know it’s been used. Read more about how to acclimate your cat.

A self-cleaning litter box will not eliminate 100% of litter box odours. But Litter-Robot helps significantly reduce typical odours because waste is promptly removed and contained in a fully enclosed drawer below the globe. Additionally, a large carbon filter located in the front of the waste drawer absorbs odours and moisture to discourage mold growth (a major culprit of that telltale litter box smell). This is why Litter-Robot is a great choice for multiple-cat households.

Not at all! Litter-Robot doesn’t need special litter or proprietary consumables like several other self-cleaning litter boxes on the market. In fact, 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 Litter-Robot. Litters that are strictly absorbent, non-clumping, loose-clumping, newspaper-based, or wood-based pellets won’t work with Litter-Robot, as they interfere with the sifting process.

Kittens and small cats that weigh less than 2.5 kg may not be heavy enough to trigger Litter-Robot’s cat sensor, which starts the countdown timer and cleaning cycle. Until kittens weigh enough, we recommend using Litter-Robot in “semi-automatic” mode. To do this, leave Litter-Robot switched off or unplugged. When you see your cat has done their business, wait about 7 minutes for the waste to clump, then turn it on/plug it in. After Litter-Robot finishes a clean cycle, turn it off/unplug it again. Continue supervision until your kittens have gained sufficient weight to activate the cat sensor.
