What is the best automatic self cleaning cat litter box available?

We have three large cats (18-24pounds) and am looking for a powerful self cleaning litter box so we don't have to scoop the litter box 4-5 times a day.
Sue F.- my cats are just all-american cats. They were all adopted, I have no idea what breed they are but they aren't Maine Coon- they're just big! All 3 of them are tall and long. CJ is 18 lbs, ORyan is 22 lbs and Sam is 25 lbs. Needless to say they are all on diets, but its not working well. We used to have a Jack Russell terrier and CJ was bigger than she was!!

Wow, they are big cats...are they Maine Coon cats? I have 4 cats of varying sizes and a dog. I have used a couple of Littermaid self cleaning boxes before, but the motors have given out within a year or so, and they were not the most easy to dismantle for a through cleaning...you still will have to do a "big clean" yourself possibly once a week or so; because even though you are using a self cleaning box, cats generally like a clean fresh smell and fresh litter, and the dirty litter box scent can still occur. The brand that I have switched to now is Purrforma by Pet mate. I purchased mine in a local pet store. It was close to $180.00, but I have found it to be worth every penny. If you are not sure where to purchase them in your area the website is www.petmate.com.and their phone number is 1-877-PETMATE. It is an enclosed pan, and as you probably know all cats like their privacy when they are going to the bathroom. They don't, however seem to understand that we humans can sometimes like our privacy, also...ha,ha...just a thought! I have found this product to be great, quieter than the other ones I have tried, and so far the motor has outlived both of the other brand. Good luck to you and enjoy those big kittys!!! you are positive they are not dogs...right?!??? My Pom is only 10 pounds, she would think that they are her big brothers or sisters...

Having a cat is wonderful as it is small and cuddly, often sleeping and extremely low maintenance and therefore is best for closed environments such as apartments. Many people have cats because they are easy to maintain. All they need is food, water for the day and a litter box to do its business. If you are mostly at home it is easy to keep an eye on the litter box to ensure that it is always clean but if you are most of the day out you need to consider other options in order to ensure it is clean at all times.

The Convenience of a Self Cleaning Cat Litter Box

For those of us that lead busy life styles and are out of the house for the most part of the day or live alone, we need to ensure that the pet has all it needs taken care of in order to be comfortable and happy. Cats are very clean animals and many times they will not be able to use the litter box is it is not clean even if it is the only one who used it and this is when a self cleaning cat litter box is the perfect solution.

The self cleaning cat litter box is larger then a normal cat litter box and therefore you need to find the right spot for it in order not to inconvenience you or the cat while using it but keep in mind that it should be in a quiet spot as cats usually enjoy their privacy during those times. The best part however about the self cleaning cat litter box is that you will not have to worry about cleaning it during the day as it will do that for you leaving your cat a cleaning box to use as he or she pleases.

The self cleaning cat litter box detects through sensors when your cat has used the litter and after about ten minutes it will initiate a self cleaning procedure and remove the dirt to a secure closed box which you can clean once a day. Most of these self cleaning cat litter boxes come with a guarantee to eliminate all types of odors and smells leaving it fresh and clean every time.

Helpful Tips

It is important you teach your cat to use the box gradually as it is larger and because it does make a sound when it cleans the litter your cat may have some reservations using it. Reward your cat when he or she uses it and remember to clean it every day in order to ensure there is enough space free for the litter next day.
