Automatic toilets designed to satisfy the needs of cats seem to be the best invention of mankind.

However, not all of these devices are able to meet your expectations.

Therefore, before deciding on an expensive purchase, we advise you to pay attention to several factors.

First, you should make sure that the litter tray is large enough for your cat to move around freely inside.

In addition, you should refuse to purchase it if large open seams, cracks and other areas are found in the toilet - filler and animal excrement will most likely get stuck here.

If you are choosing between two models, choose the one with a larger waste drawer.

It is also worth checking that the waste box is well secured. This will help seal out odors.

Finally, you need to make sure that the tray is being cleaned thoroughly. Look at reviews online and, if possible, check in practice that the rake system is in contact with the tray and scraping the entire litter layer.
