Types of Self Cleaning Litter Boxes

Cleaning the litter box is not a task most cat owners enjoy. Technology has provided options to manual scooping in the form of different varieties of the self cleaning litter box.
    • Litter boxes can come in all sizes.

    Cost

    • Keeping a clean litter box prevents cats from using other bathroom locations.

      The price of self cleaning litter boxes ranges from $45.00 to $350.00.

    Basic

    • The Omega Paw Self-Cleaning Litter Box retails for approximately $45.00 and is a nonelectric self cleaning box. To clean, the box is rolled on the its right side, then back upright. The rolling motion separates the clumped litter and deposits the waste into a removal tray for disposal.

    Electronic

    • The LitterMaid®--Automatic Self-Cleaning Litter Box ranges from $100.00 to approximately $250.00. The electric motor rakes the clumping litter after the box is used and deposits the waste into a container for disposal.

    High End

    • The Cat Genie is a self flushing and self washing litter box. After each use, the electronic box drains liquid waste, scoops out the solid waste, then scrubs the reusable litter granules and the box itself. All waste is liquefied and is flushed through a hose into either a toilet or laundry room drain. The Cat Genie models range from $250.00--$350.00.

    Healthy Cats

    • Cats with clean litter boxes are happy cats.

      The American Veterinary Medical Association recommends keeping the litter box clean to maintain feline health.
