The automatic litter box is a great idea and definitely a time saver if you have a busy schedule. Cleaning the litter box is not the most favorite chore in the world but is definitely important if you want your cat to stay happy and to keep using the box.
Be warned, however, automatic litter boxes are definitely not cheap.
If you are searching for the best automatic box for your kitty and for you then ask yourself a few questions to see if it would be a good fit:
Do you want the freedom to use whichever cat litter you want or purchase whatever is on sale?
Is kitty particular about switching litters?
Are you okay with buying refill cartridges every month or other month?
Did you know that even if you buy an automatic litter box you will still need to perform regular maintenance duties on it?
If you are the type of person that just loves shopping for sales and if you like to try out different, new brands of litter then remember that with an automatic box you will most likely have to stick to one brand or very few.
You can no longer use just any litter you want, because your box will not work as well or might not work at all!
If you have no problems buying the same litter and are okay with the price of said litter then that is one less concern you should have that most users complain about.
If you have a finicky cat, take into consideration her reaction to the new box and the new litter.
Keep in mind, picky cats may also refuse to use particular litters especially if the grains are hard or of a different texture and uncomfortable to walk on.
Do not lose hope on buying that automatic box, however, since manufacturers will always suggest helpful ways to get your cat accustomed to the new box.
One last issue to think about is the box maintenance. Even though it is an automatic box you will still need to routinely maintain the box and clean it!
The box will definitely need to be cleaned regularly and cartridges or compartments that hold the poop will need to be either refilled or emptied out (depending on which box you choose).
If you purchase a box that needs cartridges replaced every month then consider the extra cost that it will add up to.
It is important to consider these little extras before you make that purchase, and if you still feel the advantages outweigh the extra cost then go for it!
