You aren't afraid of the expense. You're afraid they won't use it.
You aren't afraid of the expense. You're afraid they won't use it.
That is the real hesitation before buying an automatic litter box. Two hundred euros for a device that your cat might stare at from afar for three weeks before returning to do their business in their old tray. And you, left to keep both, for lack of a better option.
So let's talk about what really convinces a cat to go inside: the opening, the quiet, and the certainty that nothing moves while they are in there.
Three things that guarantee they’ll adopt it
A 28 cm opening, at paw level. They don't have to jump, contort themselves, or lower their head. A cat that has to make an effort to enter a space will always find an alternative — usually the one you like the least.
40 decibels, or less than a conversation. Noise is what scares cats most with this type of device. Here, the cycle is discreet: your cat can be in the same room without even lifting their head. You can too, at night.
Four weight sensors, one in each foot. As soon as they step inside, the rotation locks. It only restarts after they leave, with the delay you set. There is no "bad time" to enter — and they figure that out quickly.
Then, it’s you who gets the relief
65-liter drum and an 8-liter waste bin: enough to go several days without giving it a thought. You change the bag every three to seven days; a long press on the button pivots the bin to the right angle, and the magnetic ring holds the bag in place while you replace it. You don't touch a thing.
The app keeps the journal. Every visit, its duration, the weight recorded. It’s trivial on a daily basis, but precious the day your cat starts going twice as often. You will also find the child lock, kitten mode, and on-demand cleaning there.
And it remains presentable. White, round, on four slim feet with its bin tucked underneath. It has a place in a bathroom or an open laundry room, without you needing to hide it behind a door.
Good to know before ordering
-
Clumping litter only, grains smaller than 10 mm: fine tofu, bentonite, mineral, or blended. Without clumping, the machine has nothing to separate.
-
The base cannot be rinsed under water — it houses the electronics. The drum and its parts, however, can.
-
Reserved for cats over 1 kg. Below 800 g, the sensors won't detect the animal: stick to manual mode for a kitten.
-
2.4 GHz WiFi only, the 5 GHz band is not supported.
-
Allow for 51 cm wide by 48.6 cm deep, and 67 cm high — the space of a small nightstand.
