Self Cleaning Cat Litter

Written by Karen Bates (last updated April 19, 2021)

For people who own cats, their feline companions are an important part of the family. Cats don't generally require a lot of care from their owners, and as long as they have their basic needs met they will be quite happy. All it takes is your cat purring or rubbing up against you to remind you what a sweet pet it is.

Cats are fairly low-maintenance pets. They can be left alone during the day without a problem, they don't need to go outside all the time, and they aren't particularly messy creatures. Another convenient thing about cats is that they can be trained to go to the bathroom in one spot—the litter box. This means you don't have to worry too much about their bathroom habits, since you can just clean the litter box to clean up after the cat.

But even though it is convenient to have your pet use the litter box, you may still hate the chore of cleaning the box regularly. Plus, if you have multiple cats, the litter box can get messy fast, meaning that it must be cleaned more often.

If you find yourself too busy to think about cleaning the cat litter box, you may want to try cat litter that practically cleans itself. By using a self cleaning litter box, you can worry less about cleaning the litter box since it takes care of the mess on its own.

Several models of self cleaning litter boxes are available for you to choose from, depending on your needs. Some of these litter boxes are completely automated, while others do require a little work from you. However, these self cleaning litter boxes make the job of cleaning the cat litter much easier.

One kind of self cleaning litter box works by being rolled. This collects the waste, then rolls back to return the cleaned litter to its normal place. Another variety has a sensor that detects when your cat has used the litter. Once the cat has left, it rakes the litter to remove pet waste without you needing to lift a finger.

There are many models of self-cleaning litter boxes for cats on the market, and as technology improves even more options will soon show up. If you dislike cleaning the litter box but love your feline companions, getting a self-cleaning litter box may be the best possible option for you. Do some research to learn more about what might work for your situation.
