I don’t know much about LitterRobor, but I must say, as an expert in cats (yup, don’t ask), that if you have the money and the room (best place is in the laundry room or next to your washing machine): CatGenie is the way to go...(https://www.catgenie.com/)

I’m not affiliated or involved in any way, it’s just an amazing product, from what looks like a great company, that has not-as-good SEO skills and (I would guess) is enjoying success enough that they dont need to be so agressive.

In any case, it’s a cat-owning disruptive item if you make it work for your cat: as any robot litter, it takes some training.

I litteraly don’t change the litter ever. I add more of their recycled washable granules once a year and, around every 4 months, one box of the product that washes them.

It wasn’t talked in any of the threads, so I couldn’t resist sharing.

Maybe our household and cats are an exception and lots of other people had a lot of problem with it. Or maybe people just don’t know how amazing this thing is :-)

I’m rooting for the latter.

In our home, it clearly succeed in wiping what the article start with as the big ticket item: the smell.

For the rest of the blog post, I do believe there’s solution but they all depends on the cat :-)

We have more problem with the air of our small dog, than with our persian-hairy cat...(and thanks robot vacuum cleaners!)

Doesn't this have the same problem as City Kitty where toxoplasma gondii infiltrates water supplies since treatment plants cannot neutralize it? This particular virus is known to be harmful to marine life and other mammals.

You can plug the ‘waste water outlet’ where you see fit. We use our washer’s, which in our city, is the waste water system, thats goes into the waste water recycling plant which doesnt mix with the ‘clean water’ cycle. In any case, it is WAY more filtering that if we were using classical litter granule that would be then send to a landfill where those same bacterias and viruses would fest and infiltrate the soil.

It is an interesting debate to have though. It probably depends how your waste water is processed.

I’ve had both the Cat Genie and the Litter Robot. The Cat Genie takes forever to cycle, so you’re out of luck if your cat likes to go pee and then come back a few minutes later to poop. Mine also eventually stopped doing such a great job cleaning the pellets, and it would then fill the house with the aroma of baked cat shit.

Litter Robot is faster and simpler, much preferred.

The website was unclear on this. How does it connect to the sewer system?

You can have it dump into a toilet or into the waste water from your washing machine.
