Isn’t the worst part of cat ownership having to clean your cat’s litter box? I just don’t think I could do it every day, even toilet training sounds easier! You switched to a CatGenie self washing litter box, and it’s solved that problem? How does it work?
The CatGenie self washing litter box does all the cleaning and disposal for you. It collects solids and liquifies them, and then washes the litter with pet-safe cleaning solution. Everything is then released out through your plumbing, and the box dries itself for your cat.
The CatGenie self washing litter box is truly hands-free cat care!
Everyone’s least favorite part of cat ownership is cleaning the stinky litter box. What if I told you that could all be changed with the CatGenie self-cleaning washing litter box?
This self-contained box does all the hard work for you. When your cat uses the box, it uses a rake to collect the solids. It then uses pet-safe sanitary solution to clean itself and sanitize the litter.
Everything is then liquified and sent out the waste pipes in your home, just as if it were coming through your toilet. This makes disposal mess-free and keeps the smells safely contained.
As if that wasn’t great enough, then the CatGenie will dry the freshly-washed litter. Your cat will have clean, fresh litter every time they go to the bathroom!
Since it uses washable granules, you’ll also never need to replace the litter again. That’s right, since the litter gets washed, it’s indefinitely reusable. Replacement granules are available if you ever lose some, or just feel like starting fresh with a new cat.
How does CatGenie flush?
CatGenie flushes on either an automatic timer or after use, based on your choice. If the after use option is selected, it waits 10 minutes after your cat has left the box to initiate cleaning. Additionally, an on demand button is included for spot cleaning outside the program.
The CatGenie litter box connects to your home’s existing plumbing and generally takes around 15 minutes to install. It requires a cold water line and refuse line to be connected. Here are the most common locations to set up a self-flushing litter box:
- Bathroom
- Laundry Room
- Utility room
You’ll need to make sure you have a nearby power outlet as well, as an AC power supply is needed. Does not require any special plumbing as the CatGenie shares a line with existing plumbing for a toilet or washing machine.
How do I teach my cat to use a CatGenie self washing litter box?
There are a few common methods to help teach a cat to use a CatGenie self washing litter box for the first time:
- Place some washable granules in their normal litter box. Scoop them out and run them through the CatGenie daily to clean. This should help get cats used to the feel and smell of the new litter
- Stop cleaning the regular litter box and as it fills up, the cats should begin to seek the clean alternative box
- Remove excrement from the normal box and place it in the CatGenie. This helps to show your cat “where it goes” to encourage them to move their business.
You should refrain from using automatic cleaning cycles until your cat is comfortable with the box, to avoid scaring them. Do an on-demand spot clean when your cat is out of the room to sanitize. Once they are more comfortable with the box, you can begin to transition to the automatic cycles.
