This versatile intelligent cat litter box aims to offer cats a comfortable, clean toilet solution while reducing management difficulty for cat owners to facilitate daily cleaning.
The product, by virtue of its innovative spherical cabin with a large open design, provides enough space to adapt to cats’ natural habit of leaning forward during excretion, which, paired with a 9L large-capacity waste bin, well meets cats’ toilet needs when their owners are away. Besides, the incomplete gear mechanism effectively prevents cats from getting stuck, significantly improving the safety.
The built-in door, able to automatically open and close, features excellent sealing performance to effectively avoid odor spread in a physical manner and thus maintain fresh indoor air. Meanwhile, the self-cleaning function is automatically activated after cats finishes and leaves, and completes the cleaning task within 90 seconds, ensuring a clean, hygienic environment for cats every time they go to the toilet. The cabin bottom, low in center and high all around, optimizes the clump treatment process, which will keep clumps in the centre of the waste bin for easier cleaning.
Considering cat owners’ demand for health monitoring of their cats, the design team has installed four sets of weight sensors to the chassis, so that the cat litter box, even when used on carpets, can accurately monitor the cat’s weight and whether it enters or leaves. Benefiting from its modular design, magnetic cover and snap-fit structure, the product allows for easier and quicker disassembly, which enables more convenient cleaning. The pad with reinforced sides not only boasts exceptional flexibility and scratch/bite resistance while effectively avoiding litter sticking issues, but also prevents the leakage of cat litter and cats’ urine, facilitating easy maintenance and thorough cleaning.
