What should you look for when choosing an automatic litter box?
The interior must give your cat enough room to turn around and dig comfortably. Distinguish the external dimensions from those of the usable compartment, then check the entry height and weight limits stated in the manual. For kittens, age and weight restrictions related to detection deserve particular attention.
The sifting mechanism determines which litter types are compatible and what cleaning involves. Check what triggers the cycle, how it stops when the cat is present and the delay after the cat leaves. The waste bin capacity, its ability to contain odours, removable parts and features available without a connection also affect everyday use.
