Managing litter boxes is arguably one of the less appealing aspects of cat ownership. The daily routine of cleaning, refilling with fresh litter and scooping out waste is hardly a highlight. Yet, an automatic litter box could be the solution you've been seeking.
Whisker, a well-known automated pet care brand, offers its t op-selling Litter-Robot 4 , which is currently available with an extended warranty for £80 off. The 4-year warranty package is now priced at £769, reduced from £849. These automatic, self-cleaning litter boxes utilise Whisker's patented gravity-based sifting process to simplify your life.
They're designed to accommodate multiple cats , with all waste securely sealed to prevent unpleasant smells. It's a truly advanced gadget—the robot even monitors each cat's weight, alerting you if there are any changes—and importantly, it's engineered to know when it's in use, avoiding any accidental trapping or catching of tails, reports the Express . Furthermore, you'll receive a comprehensive report on your cat's toilet habits and other metrics directly to the Whisker companion app, which is especially useful if you want updates on your cats' activities while you're away.
It also comes with a Litter Hopper , meaning you only need to pour litter into a chute while the machine takes care of distribution. Whisker is so confident in the fit of their product for you and your pets that they offer a 90-day home trial, knowing that sometimes, even the most discerning cats may just turn up their whiskers at new additions. One review of the device stated: " My house is now clean , no tracks and litter all over and smells good.
We've only been using the Litter Robot for two months but what an unbelievable difference it has made in all of our lives already." Another satisfied customer added: "The Litter Hopper is well worth the money ," referring specifically to this component of the Litter-Robot 4. "No need to continuously fill the Litter Robot.
Just fill the hopper and it keeps the level perfect. I check the hopper once a week and fill, however it is also monitored on the app if you just want the app to notify you to fill it." And a further review read: "My Queen B (cat) and I love the Litter Robot.
.. It looks stylish in my informal living room and doesn't smell at all!" However, some pet owners have encountered issues with persuading their feline friends to engage with the device.
One buyer said: "I have one cat out of six that uses it. Three don't show any interest. Two others are infatuated when it moves and keep interrupting it.
" Another remarked: "It's been a little over a week and my cats haven't use the robot yet. I'm hopeful they are very interested in it but don't seem interested in using the Litter Robot over their litter box." For those looking for a more affordable option, the ScoopFree Self-Cleaning Litter Box is on sale for £289.
99 at PetSafe. Alternatively, the AirRobo Automatic Cat Litter Box is currently available at nearly half its usual price on Petplanet, now priced at just £299..
