Technology is advancing every day and is also advancing many simple products that we encounter every day. There are things that we never expected to be touched by it yet when it happens we are surprised and please. Litter boxes for our beloved cats are no different.

There have been some great improvements made to cat litter boxes such as the following which will be discussed:

• Cosmetic
• Sieves
• Chemical Treatment
• Autofill

Cosmetic – Many strange things have been done to litter boxes to make them look like they belong and blend in with all the other household items. Things like making them part of a pot plant is just one example of this. Then there are the other improvements such as having a lid or hood on it so it is like a small house for your cat.

Sieves – This addition means that all the chunky bits, otherwise known as poo, get carried separated from the rest of the litter that is still in the box that has not yet being used. This is great because you do not waste good litter that can still be used up by your cats excrement. It means that you save money.

Chemical Treatment – So that your cats waste is not sitting in cat litter boxes that you make around your house, there are some automatic clean up ones that have a system where they separate the liquid waste, otherwise known as urine, from the rest of the litter in your cats box and then treat it with chemicals. This will get rid of the old urine smell and will ensure that your house does not smell or cat piss. I think that lime is used with this process.

Autofill – I think that this advancement is the greatest of all of them because it means less work for me and one less undesirable thing that I have to do. Isn’t that what advancements in technology are all about? Yes indeed. So anyway, this feature goes with some of the others listed above. When the waste is removed the next action it does is to fill up the box with the right amount of litter. You just need to remember to maintain the litter box every now and again. Don’t want the waste sitting around for ages.

I bet all the things that you have now just read makes you want to buy a new one for you and your cat. It is only a litter box after all but an advanced one make it pretty cool.
