We did some searching and researched some reviews. We did come across some different items like the
Scoop Free Automatic Litter Box (which we are leaning towards) and the
LitterMaid (Which ChristineP mentioned).
We also came across the
Litter-Robot, which I must say looks a little weird and I don't know if the cats would even try it. Otto would prob attack it.
There was some radical ideas like this:
Click Here# atGenie Self Washing/Self Flushing Cat Boxes. AUTOMATICALLY FLUSHES CAT WASTE DOWN YOUR TOILET!
# The automatic cat box that's Completely self-washing. ** No litter to scoop, touch, or change ** Uses permanent Washable Granules ** Flushes cat waste out of the home ** Automatically washes, sanitizes, dries ** Dust, odor, germ, and litter free ** You'll never touch or change litter again!
# The innovative CatGenie Self Washing/Self Flushing Cat Box revolutionizes cat sanitation by eliminating the need to scoop, clean, and dispose of messy litter. Waste removal is dust, germ, odor, and hassle-free! Uses permanent, washable granules that are automatically washed and dried after each use. Liquids drain through the granules and solid waste is scooped, liquefied, and deposited into the hopper where both are flushed with fresh water down any toilet or sink drain.
# The CatGenie then dispenses a special SaniSolution to wash and disinfect the bowl and granules, while the GenieHand scoop aerates and the built-in hot air blower dries the sanitized granules. Includes hardware for simple, one-time hookup to a water supply, washable granules, SaniSolution cartridge, and instructions. Requires a 110 volt outlet.
Seems interesting, but expensive. I still affirm my worries about a motor, and how long they last, but I must say even with ChristineP pointing out as well as reviews I have read, the Littermaid lasts for a long time.
But still, I think reviews are mixed...
