One might think that choosing a litter box is easy, but choosing the right litter box to match your home, lifestyle, AND be accepted by your cat takes a little more thought, and time.

But the time and effort used to find the perfect box could be well worth it for both you and your cat.

Robotic litter boxes still need cleaning, so don’t assume there wont be any maintenance on your part.
Emptying the container, as well as checking litter levels are necessary to keep things running properly.
