Automatic Litter Boxes - Do You Need One?

By Luke Blaise

Automatic litter boxes can be both good and bad for your cat. So before spending a lot of money for one you need to consider several factors.

Automatic litter boxes have been around for many years now, and many people love theirs, while others have hated them. Being expensive you need to carefully weigh many factors into your decision.

The first reason many people get automated litter boxes is due to convenience. Most automated litter boxes will clean the litter box as soon as a cat leaves it, so each time the cat returns, it returns to a clean litter box. This is great for you because you don't have to do the actual cleaning of the litter, the machine does it for you.

You still have to empty to reservoir and add litter, but the thought that your cat has a clean litter box whether or not you are too lazy to clean it everyday is a good one. This is probably the biggest reason for getting an automated litter box. Most cats will love you for getting one because it is clean each time they go to use it even if you are out of town.

The down side to automated litter boxes is that some cats will refuse to use them. First of all a lot of automated litter boxes are too small for larger cats to fit into. Many people will buy litter boxes when their cats are kittens, but as the cat grows the litter box stays the same size.

Another reasons is noise, some cat are scared of the noise made by these boxes. So before you spend the money on automated litter boxes please consider these factors.
