Self-Cleaning Litter Boxes…A Litter Box That Actually Cleans Itself! Gimme, Gimme Gimme!
A litter box is essential, especially for indoor cats. But sometimes it tends to become smelly and messy especially on days when you just don’t have the energy or time to clean it up. You just sigh and wish your litter box could just clean itself. But wait, self-cleaning litter boxes are a thing! Yes, they do exist. Innovations in technology today now allow litter boxes to be cleaned without you having to scoop the waste out. These litter boxes sift through the litter to collect the clumps and place it into a waste bin so that all you have to do is throw it away in a garbage bag. Easy peasy!
Self-cleaning litter boxes can be automatic or semi-automatic. The automatic ones are powered through electrical outlets and have sensors to automatically start cleaning. Semi-automatic litter boxes do not use electricity and rely on your assistance to sift the litter, which is more economical in the long run. We’ve made a list of these cool gadgets so you can have an array of options for what you would like to get for your home.
