Cats are ridiculously tidy creatures, who prefer taking care of their business in solitude and leaving it for their owners to clean. The choices of litter boxes run the gambit from traditional to self-cleaning. Finding the right litter box for your cat is one of the many choices pet owners make for their companions.
What to Consider in a Litter Robot
Litter boxes come in all shapes and forms, including ones requiring minimal scooping. Look for low-tracking litter boxes that help keep scatter from invading your floors. Litter boxes have varying options for odor control, one of the utmost importance for pet parents, especially if there are multiple cats in your home.
Many litter robots require limited scooping but will need attention occasionally for maintenance. Consider how much time you have to scoop litter boxes and consider a self-cleaning option.

This low-tracking litterbox not only keeps litter in the box and off your floors, but it is automatic as well. The box does not require scooping, cleaning, or refilling for weeks. The odor control is unparalleled, due to the crystal litter absorbing smells and dehydrating waste. The hands-off design comes with disposable trays with plastic linings to protect against leaks and is easy to dispose. Perhaps the most intriguing feature, is the box will count how many times your kitty uses the box, allowing an insight into their bathroom habits and health.
