This Litter-Robot Made My Least Favorite Chore Disappear

When my partner and I recently moved apartments, we were worried about how our cat, Leo — an adorable brown-and-gray tabby — would adjust to a new space. No surprise, he spent days hiding high up in our built-in shelves and nights skittering around the apartment, getting into trouble.

But ever since we brought him home as a three-month-old kitten, he's been pretty good about finding the litter. This time, we were a little nervous, given that we were introducing him to a different litter box than he was used to — not even a litter box at all, actually, but Whisker's Litter-Robot 4 (9). The smart litter box is equipped with self-cleaning technology to make cat parents' lives easier.

Only a couple of weeks into living in the new space, Leo's still getting used to the new apartment, but he hasn't skipped a beat using the Litter-Robot. And since filling up the machine with litter when we first moved in, we haven't worried about cleanup or foul smells at all, either. Keep reading to learn about our experience with the nifty device.
