How Litter‑Robot® works

Litter-Robot's patented technology sifts your cat's waste, so you don't have to.

Whisker Innovation

1. Clump

When kitty is finished with their business, a timer counts down allowing litter to clump.

2. Cycle

The globe rotates and Litter-Robot separates dirty clumps from the clean litter thanks to our patented sifting process.

3. Clean

Clumps are deposited into the waste drawer below, leaving a clean bed of litter, ready to be used again.

Engineered with care. Designed to last.

Frequently asked questions

Does Litter-Robot need special litter?

Litter-Robot does not require special litter or proprietary consumables like several other self-cleaning litter boxes on the market. In fact, the Litter-Robot works well with almost any clumping litter. Litter beads and crystals that are small enough to pass through the screen will also work in the Litter-Robot. Alternative, plant-based litters may also work, but these tend to form looser clumps that can cause condensation in the waste drawer. The Litter-Robot is not compatible with litters that are strictly absorbent, non-clumping, loose-clumping, newspaper-based, or wood-based pellets. Read more about the best litter for Litter-Robot.

How often do you empty a self-cleaning litter box?

How often you empty the Litter-Robot waste drawer depends on the number and size of your cats. For two average-sized cats, twice per week is typical. For a single cat, once per week is usually sufficient.

What happens if my cat tries to enter the globe while it is rotating?

The Litter-Robot was designed with your cat's safety in mind. If your cat tries to enter the globe while it is rotating, the Litter-Robot will stop immediately. The cat sensor will detect your cat (by weight) and turn off the motor. It will wait 15 seconds, then attempt to resume the cleaning cycle. If your cat or something else is still tripping the cat sensor, the Litter-Robot will not resume the cleaning cycle and a series of lights will flash indicating the problem.

*Disclaimer

* Over 95% of cats acclimate to Litter-Robot, and most begin using it within a few days to a week based on stated reasons for customer returns of Litter-Robot 4 and 3 over a one-year period. It's natural for some cats to be initially uncertain or wary of new objects in their territory. Litter-Robot 5 is designed to be as cat-friendly as possible, featuring QuietSift® technology that minimizes noise during the cleaning cycle. The cleaning cycle won't begin until minutes after your cat has exited the automatic litter box, and you can extend the delay up to 30 minutes for skittish cats. Whisker recommends closely monitoring the transition of your cat to their new Litter-Robot. As with any litter box transition, cats can have side effects, such as irregular use, not using the litter box, and more. It is best practice, and our recommendation, to monitor this closely until your cat has smoothly transitioned to their new litter box.
