7 benefits of smart cat litter boxes

There are few things that cats appreciate more than a daily cleaned toilet. Unfortunately for cat owners, daily commitments often get in the way, so it's easy to forget to clean the litter box every day. This can be frustrating for both the cat and the owner. Luckily, self-cleaning toilets can help with the dirty work to ensure there's always a clean place to go when needed for the little critter, making both him and his owner happy!

Encourages toilet use

Cats are fans of cleanliness, and nothing makes them want to use their litter box more than having it fresh and clean between uses. If you think cleaning the toilet every few days is normal, put yourself in their shoes: Would you want to use a toilet that hasn't been flushed? With a self-cleaning litter box, your cat will always have a fresh litter box ready for her.

Effective odor control

It goes without saying that keeping a clean toilet helps control odor. So a self-cleaning toilet that cleans itself after every use has an advantage over regular toilets. Another way to control odor is through the type of bedding used. Although most people are familiar with the traditional lump toilet, the automatic toilet has 5 times better odor control, is dust free and absorbs waste much better.

Easy installation and maintenance

With the self-cleaning toilet, the mat stays fresh for weeks. And since the toilet comes pre-packaged in a disposable tray, you simply remove the tray from the box and dispose of it without having to scoop.

Saves money

Although the initial cost of a self-cleaning litter box is usually higher than a regular litter box, it can save you money in the long run. Self-cleaning cat litter boxes are designed to get the most out of a clean litter box without wasting unused litter. This not only saves you on the toilet, but also less trips to the store and less time cleaning the litter box, giving you more time to enjoy your cat.

Sufficient for a home with many cats

Having more than one cat in your home means more scratching to keep the litter box clean enough for all your cats to share. With the self-cleaning litter box, you'll have less to worry about because it will automatically maintain cleanliness, meaning all cats and their owners will live happily together. Of course, with more cats using one litter box, this means you'll either need to change the litter more often or get multiple litter boxes. Since not all cats are the same, it's worth observing your pets' habits to see which is the right solution for them.

Prevents home pollution

There are several reasons why a cat may defecate outside its litter box. The reasons can range from the healthy to the worrisome, and perhaps the most common reason is that the litter box is dirty. By providing a self-cleaning litter box, you can ensure that your cat will always have a clean place to go, and won't be looking for other options around your home.

Makes weekend getaways easier

Wouldn't it be great to have someone to clean the cat litter if you want to take a weekend trip? With a self-cleaning litter box, that's the last thing you'll need to worry about. Even when the cat owners are away, your cats can enjoy a clean litter box, and you won't have to worry about coming home with surprises.
