MIT Scoopfree Cat Box

We have a cat box designed by MIT. If you are a person who has worked in the field of technology, I hope you would be a tool buff like me. This was an experiment that worked. We used the MIT box alongside the conventional litter box. What was interesting was that because it self-cleans, it means that the cat who gets antsy about slightly dirty litter will use it and prefer it. We used and have used this cat box for some time. What is a pain is ensuring that you get the crystal cartridges. When they come into the pet store, customers come in and buy the whole lot in a go. If you want to have enough on hand, you need to buy six or so.

I have also know you can use the litter trays refills as currency. If another family member has a machine, you can barter based on having some in the house. The idea is brilliant. I never have got around to buying and having the litter tray delivered to my door. Maybe that is the way around solving access to getting the litter insert.

We consider this litter experiment a partial success. It was almost used exclusively used by our picky cat. Some gravitated toward it and then left back to the conventional box. I do think this would be a good box for a condominium. It is large and that is important for a litter box. It is really amazing how much the waste reduces because of the contact with the crystals. It is surprising how much waste gets collected in the holder. I do not know how the box would have performed if we had removed the other ones from their access.
