Self-cleaning litter boxes may sound like something from the future, but the good news is they are here now and ready to make your life easier. When it comes to cat litter boxes, it’s recommended you give them a scoop at least once a day to keep your cat happy and healthy. A self-cleaning litter box will scoop itself, so you don’t have to. Whilst some may just scoop once a day, others are automatic. All you need to do is empty the waste they’ve collected once or twice a week, and it’s that easy. We’ve rounded up the best self-collecting litter trays on the market today to help you make the right choice.
Jlxl automatic self-cleaning cat litter
Intelligent cleaning at the touch of a button
The Jlxl automatic self-cleaning litter box offers intelligent cleaning at the touch of a button. It has an automatic sensor that will identify when the cat has used the litter box and not start the collection process until the cat has safely moved away from the area.
It does take up a large amount of space, and you can pour up to 6 litres of cat litter in at any one time. It has a weight limit of 25kg, and as well as running via the mains electricity, it has a backup battery in the event of any power outages.
Omega Paw self cleaning
Just roll with it
The Omega Paws self-cleaning litter box can save you plenty of time and keep your cats' litter tray super fresh. It uses a rock and roll system where you roll the litter box on to its lid and then back to the upright position. This then takes the clumped litter and places it into a scoop which you can quickly dispose of. It also stops odours from leaking out and obstructs a lot of excess dust from the litter getting into the air. It is made from robust and durable plastic so you will be using this litter tray for years.

Let the box do all the hard work for you
This self-cleaning litter box will save you all the hard work; all you need to do is add the litter and walk away. It has a bowl that rotates every hour and a half sifting any clumps that are in the litter. It’s a very quiet machine so it won’t scare your cat. It has an LED light so you can make sure that it is still switched on and operational - because believe us when we say it's quiet. You can even line the waste bin with a plastic bag, so when it comes to removing the waste, you simply lift it out and pop it in your bin.

No mess, no odours, no fuss
This savvy self-cleaning cat litter box has a closed design which means that you won’t experience any of the mess or dust that you would with a traditional litter tray. To sift and clean the litter you pull a lever, and it removes the soiled litter into a lined collection bin whilst recycling the clean litter back into the tray. Because it’s manual, it is safe and quiet, and you don’t have to worry about any parts breaking down. It has an access window so you can easily monitor when the litter needs to be refreshed.
