CatGenie Self Washing Self Flushing Cat Box

Just as the name suggests, this is the “Cat Genie” that clears the poop and cleans the litter box without being seen.

One thing that attracts me to this unit is that it comes with granules that encourage the cat to dig and then cover afterward. This design encourages the cat to relieve itself rather than shying away because of a hard surface.

Other reasons that make the Pet Safe unit one of the best self-cleaning litter boxes include a simple design, easy to operate, hygienically-styled, and durable.
