Does anyone have any experience with self-cleaning cat litter boxes? I’m curious if any particular model of self-cleaning litter box is any good. We now have 4 cats and it would be nice to not have to clean litter boxes manually 1-2 times every day.

Do they separate pee/poop from litter well? Are cats afraid to use them? Do they stink more than regular litter boxes because pee/poop are in them for longer periods? Are they a hassle to clean? Do you have to buy propietary supplies (custom litter? special trays?)?

Thanks for your input.

    i have like 9 cats using a single catlink space ship looking thing and it is a miracle basically. use clumping litter and check the tray at some regular interval depending on how many cats you have.

      Can you share the product? Every single one I used was hot garbage with just two cats.

        you don’t need anything fancy, but you want this general orb design. you need to get cat litter that clumps, and has pieces small enough that dry litter passes through the sieve thing. the clumping property is the key to piss.

        if you have a shitload of cats, check the tray once a day. if you have one cat, maybe once a week. if your wife yells at you, just look at her sideways and then unplug it and plug it back in so that it cycles once.
