Why Every Cat Owner Should Have An Automatic Litter Box

     Do you shudder at the thought of scooping yet another stinky mess out of the litter box? Cleaning up after kitty has got to be one the the least favorite chore of any cat owner. Fortunately, todays technology makes it possible to enjoy the benefits of a clean box without all of the hard work. Say hello to the automatic cat litter box. This amazing invention is perfect for keeping the litter box germ free and smelling fresh automatically. Ideal for elderly pet owners, disabled folks or those with busy lifestyles, a self cleaning litter box is becoming a must-have for cat owners everywhere.

The biggest benefit of owning an automatic litter pan is that odor from cat waste is significantly reduced. Many people even find that they can keep the self cleaning pan in places you otherwise wouldn't dream of keeping a litter box - like your living areas. The reduction in odor is due to the fact that an automatic litter box cleans up around the clock, something a human would be hard pressed to do. The waste doesn't sit for very long or develop dangerous and foul smelling bacteria like ordinary litter pans so it's not only better smelling, but healthier for kitty as well.

Although every model is different most self cleaning litter boxes only need maintenance once a week to remove the waste from the storage area. They are typically easy to use and operate. Some brands use ordinary clumping litter that you can buy from any grocery or pet store, but others require you to use proprietary litter. When choosing a box, be sure to note what type of litter it takes as this can be a consideration in the overall cost.

There's no shortage of different types of self cleaning litter boxes out there, and what you choose should depend on your individual needs and budget. Some models cost only a bit more than an ordinary box while others can set you back a few hundred (but be worth every penny). Luckily, even if you have more than one cat you will only need one box. Every popular unit on the market is designed to accommodate multiple adult cats.

The only drawback to most leading brands is that they all make some noise as they complete their cleaning cycle. If kitty needs to use the box during this time, they may initially have difficulty using the box with this noise. Fortunately over time most all cats adapt to the box and its noises and functions.

Overall, an automatic cat litter box is a worthwhile investment in your pets health and enviornment, plus its a simple way to make life a little bit easier on you. Many people who own these units would never go back to a traditional litter pan, so that tells you how indispensable a good self cleaning box can be.
