Does anyone have any experience with self-cleaning cat litter boxes? I’m curious if any particular model of self-cleaning litter box is any good. We now have 4 cats and it would be nice to not have to clean litter boxes manually 1-2 times every day.

Do they separate pee/poop from litter well? Are cats afraid to use them? Do they stink more than regular litter boxes because pee/poop are in them for longer periods? Are they a hassle to clean? Do you have to buy propietary supplies (custom litter? special trays?)?

Thanks for your input.

    I have one arriving today. Fingers crossed that my scaredy cat will be able to make the change.

      If you want you can start by not allowing it to auto turn and only turning it manually when you’re nearby and can be sure the cat isn’t near. You can then build up to the auto turn

      Our scardy cat was fascinated by ours. Would haul ass from across the house just to watch it cycle.
