Holy cow! is this shit for real?

haha, it doesn't package the stuff up in little balls. They just used those for demonstration purposes.

I need one of these. If I don't clean my cat's litter daily, she shits like two feet from it to tell me to clean it. F-ing B.

I want something that actually puts the poo into easter eggs - I can then save them up all year, and deposit them outside for the kiddos

The shit isn't - it doesn't really turn out eggs, but the litter robot is real.
We got one a year ago (so it's not exactly news) and I thought our old, 12lb cat would never use it but he used it from day 1 and it's been great.

I looked into one of these a little while ago, but its pretty spendy ($500 ish).

I instead opted for buying a self scooping litter box with air cleaner, but as i learned day one my cats were scared to death of the thing an chose to avoid it and do their buisness on the floor instead.

I decided if a automated rake scared them, a dome that rotates and turns like it's posessed would scare the crap out of them (literally, unfortunitly...)

* we ended up with the Budah litter dome (full size, not the small dome, the one with a stairway that you have to go up, then take a left to ender the box. all enclosed, very nice at keeping litter in the box and smell out of the house).

This product will most certainly generate a pre-first-date story from Dad that starts out, "Well one day Junior was following the cat around the house and..."

Personally, I'm a fan of the citikitty: citikitty.com Well at least in theory.

I bought one a while back but have yet to use it because you have to leave it on the toilet filled with litter while you're training the cat. I'm moving soon so will be trying it out *crosses fingers*

Why does the post say "you can pick up a Litter Robot for 299 ($570)"?

Why is $570 in parentheses? 299 seems to be the right price from what I can tell.

Wow. I hate cleaning the litter box as much as the next guy, but seriously, a $500 cat-shit tumbler?

I'll stick with the little plastic shovel.

As soon as there is 150 pound version for me to use, I think I will have to pass.

The price on the product web site is $299. One of the referenced sites mistakenly lists it as £299 which would presumably account for the $570 price.

I just use Feline Pine (compressed pine sawdust) cat litter. Cuts down on the pee smell, and you can just toss the pooples when they dry out a bit. Works great, and it's not toxic like that clumping stuff.

If your cat is diabetic, it may be due to misfeeding, and many vets are misinformed about this. We were told to and gave our cat (RIP) insulin injections for years before finding out that if we just fed her wet food twice a day instead of leaving dry food out for her to graze, the issues disappeared.

My cat does his business in the backyard, end of discussion.

For 500 bucks you could pay someone to take the poop out...

OMG! This cat litter box + paintball gun = Unlimited fun!

can you program it to pack the cat into one of those little eggs? seems like that would solve the whole problem right there.

I have two of them and these Litter Robots are the best inventions since HDTV. One hint though: by far, the easiest way to use them is to dump the drawer bag into the toilet every day or every 2 days. Ignore the "accumulate a week and toss in trash"-- you will not make it to the trash can before you pass out from handling a bag full of kitty shit. But each day, dump a shalow bag into the toilet and flush-- cake.

OMG you guys are freakin' funny! I'm laughing my arse off thanks. actually this thing works great, it's amazing. Your cats will never stink again, seriously, plus their clean, no tracking crap around (in case you kitties tend to wait to lick themselves). My only problem with it was the fact that I have three (yes I know...psycho..Dr. evil) cats of vastly differing statures. The largest (lard ass, and yes he eats wet food) being 19lbs, his brother (the sexy beeatch) a slim 16lbs and the little girl (testy beeatch) 8lbs. I am sure you can figure it out from here. The sensor on the front (screw it up or down) can not accomodate that wide spectrum of weights at the same time, so eventually the thing would turn on when the little kitty was inside and she'd ride the kitty ferris wheel. Scared the livin shi! out of her so she decided to use the couch instead as "payback." I was trained quickly on this one. A few grand for a couch wasn't worth the $299 and good smelling kitties. But before I could sell it on Ebay I had to clean it out. I accidentally left it plugged in and my fat cat decided it was an amusement park ride and was literally riding around fllipping upside down, nice. All in all I would suggest this though if you have cats (same size) and can't stand cleaning the litter box. It really does work well if they'll use it.

they should make something like this for humans :)

Before my cat died, I spent about fifteen minutes looking into fancy automated litter boxes.

Then I went to the grocery store and picked up a slotted spoon for two dollars.

Problem solved. Next question. I love gadgets as much as the next person, but I'd rather save my money for a gadget that can do something I can't.

my cat is into gadget, so i think i`ll get one:)

This looks like a great device that will prepackage the kittypoop into morsel sized bites for my dog to eat... he'll be soo happy... he won't even need to dig through that nasty litter and get it stuck to his nose! Its all there in that convienent tray!

I had once thought about those self cleaning kitty litter trays... then thought about the price, and slapped myself for considering it.

I bought one the Littermaids robot deals with the rake. The cats used it, but as the rake would pull through the litter, clumps of shit would cling to the blades. It sucked. I switched back to a regular litterbox, and now I just get up a couple of minutes earlier and clean it every morning before my shower, put the remains in a little plastic bag and throw it in the garbage outside my building on my way into work. If you clean it every day it doesn't take anytime, and doesn't get too nasty. Plus you can spend the $500 bucks on something cool... like hookers or guns.

I have the Litter Robot! And it's the best THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS I ever spent. You supposedly save that much $$ in litter EVERY YEAR because of it's efficient litter usage. My cats practically live in that thing. No eggs made. Just shit and piss. It falls into a trashbag underneath the globe. I just wrap it up every 2 days and throw it at my neighbor. Thank the lord of cats that I'll never to have to sift litter by hand again. Lazy cat owners unite!

Like I'm gonna spend $300 on a shit box.
