Owning a cat (or a few) can be an amazing experience. They are soft, cute, cute, and stupid in the best and strangest ways, and they are always by your side on a bad day. Besides, there is nothing better - or more relaxed - than falling asleep to their snoring. 

But as a cat mother or father, there is one terrible thing: shovel and clean the litter box. This tedious, repetitive, rude and smelly task takes more time than we want. If you become lazy, even for a moment-like a long and bad day at the office-your cat will thank you in the morning and give gifts in the bathtub.

Fortunately, in the past ten years or so, the automatic litter box has made some pretty good progress, which can help you ease the work of caring for your cat.

The automatic litter box can detect when your cat has soiled the litter and rake the litter into a separate compartment. You don't have to scoop each clump individually-you just need to empty the trash bin regularly. It works like a robot vacuum cleaner with an automatic emptying base: you don't have to clean anything every time you run it, but you must empty the base when the base is full.

This ensures that your cat has a clean litter box every time it needs to have a bowel movement, which helps the cat to actually get into its box instead of on the floor. Therefore, for picky cats who need an original litter box every time they go, the automatic cat box is a good investment. Most automatic litter boxes are designed for adult cats and are not suitable for lightweight kittens.

Yes, they do. The automatic trash can not only scoops up trash for you, but also prevents peculiar smells. You will no longer have cat feces and urine, just sit in the open air of your house. It will be swept into a sealed room to help suppress odors.

The automatic litter box also makes noises when cleaning itself, which may scare timid cats. For cats that are easily frightened, there are quieter options.

Its name is there. It is self-cleaning. Therefore, you don't have to bend over and boringly scoop cat litter, which is objectively the worst housework. And, as we mentioned, the smell of the litter box will be smaller, and a clean box will encourage your cat to actually use it. In addition, it is more hygienic for both of you, because you won't have dirty paws to track bacteria and trash throughout the house.
