Automatic litter box for cat at CES 2019

[harold81]

Auto-cleaning litterbox, anyone ? This is one of the products launched at CES 2019 this week. As someone who cleans the cat litter daily, the benefit is that this is a time and hygiene saver, since it can collect waste for up to 3 weeks. The downside is that as cat owner, you could miss two of the most important health indicators of the cat (i.e. pee and poo).

I want one but I reckon they'll be fierce expensive

I thought these had been on the market for a while? I seem to remember reading about a litter robot in a blog once?

Also, you miss the pee and poo if your cat goes in your neighbour's garden...

that's true too, i guess the inventors had the same pain points and thus, invented these auto-refilling litter boxes for indoor use. Not sure about the final price point, but i hear chatters in the neighbourhood of US$400-500.

I have a 19-year-old cat who has diarrhea often but i find that cat/pet diapers don't really bind well around the cat's tail. Sure hope someone has a "smart" fix for this. :)
