All cat owners / guardians go through the experience everyday. We get the scooper and start digging up the cat litter for the smelly clumps. We put them in a bag and throw them away or flush them down the toilet. We spray a little air sanitizer to rid of the remaining smelly proof of the just concluded activity.

We love our cats but not the cat poopy smell. However, fact is cat poop will be part of the equation no matter what. This squidoo page is dedicated to dealing with the litter box odor using some really nifty cat litter boxes available to cat owners today..

The usual advice in managing a cat litter box is to scoop up the cat poop at least once a day. That is sound advice but some may find that a little bit of a hassle and an inconvenience.

Here we present the modern cat litter boxes that have incorporated some ingenious ways of dealing with the dirty job of cleaning litter boxes.

Omega Paw self-cleaning litter box

The cheapest and most economical

This cat litter box is perhaps one of the best ones out there as far as value for money is concerned. It is pretty popular in Amazon and has received rave reviews. The principle behind this self cleaning litter box is pretty simple and you will wonder why no one came up with this sooner. Gone are the days of the smelly litter box cleaning experience because you can now do it with a very simple mechanical action which is a feature of the Omega Paw litter box.

Here is how it works as detailed by Amazon:
"Simply roll the litter box to the right until the top touches the floor, and then roll it back to the upright position. The unit's internal mechanism deposits the clumped waste into the pullout waste tray for easy disposal. The system works only with clumping litter, and the waste tray separates clumped waste from clean litter, so clean litter is never thrown away. The litter box makes it easy to provide the cat not only with a clean litter box, but also with privacy due to the covered pan design. The litter box also helps save money--no more scoops, liners, or filters to buy."

    ScoopFree litter box

    Absolutely no smell with this product

    Another brilliantly thought out litter box, this one is of the automatic self cleaning type. Unlike the Omega Paw, this one has no need for any human hands to accomplish its job. It cleans itself literally and all you need to do is replace the litter tray that uses a proprietary litter called Fresh Step Crystals that absorbs moisture and kills odors.

    A more detailed description of the litter box is provided by Amazon:
    "ScoopFree is the self-cleaning litter box you can leave alone for weeks at a time. It is the only self-cleaning litter box that uses disposable litter trays to provide hands-off convenience and unbeatable odor control. You don't have to see, touch, or smell messy waste. Simply load ScoopFree with the disposable litter tray pre-filled with Fresh Step Crystals. When your cat uses the litter box, the crystals immediately absorb moisture and odor and begin to dehydrate solids. Twenty minutes later, ScoopFree's rake automatically sweeps the waste into a covered compartment, leaving the litter smelling clean and fresh. Simply replace the disposable tray every few weeks, and the litter box is just like new. ScoopFree is so reliable it comes with a 90-day money back guarantee."

    CatGenie automatic cat litter box

    they claim that this is the only self-flushing, self washing litter box out there... I believe them

    This one is another pretty clever cat litter box. Imagine a litter box that flushes. Who would have thought of that? The guys from CatGenie did and they created a winner. This automatic self cleaning litter box uses reusable litter which it just washes by itself after every use. Key component is the CatGenie proprietary Sani-Solution which the litter box uses to sanitize and disinfect cat urine, liquefy cat solid wastes so it can be flushed down any drain, and wash the litter basin and the reusable litter.

    Here's the Amazon product description for more information:
    "Never touch cat litter again. The new and unique CatGenie self-flushing, self-washing cat box grants the cat lover's wish to never scoop, touch, buy or change cat litter again. Instead of traditional litter, the high-tech CatGenie uses permanent Washable Granules that never need changing. For cats, CatGenie is just like using a clean litter box. The Washable Granules satisfy your cat's need to dig and cover. When your cat goes, liquids drain through the Granules, which don't clump or create waste. Touch a button or pre set the timer to start the wash cycle. The solid waste is automatically scooped, liquefied, and flushed down the drain. Using water and the veterinarian-approved SaniSolution, the CatGenie scours and sanitizes the Granules and cat box interior to eliminate germs and odors. A built-in dryer blows hot air over the Granules to dry them for your cat's comfort. The CatGenie acts like a cat box, washes and dries like an appliance, and flushes waste out of the home like a toilet. A one-time, DIY connection to a cold-water supply line from a sink, toilet, or laundry and you're set. T-adapters for laundry or bath are supplied. CatGenie is the only automatic cat box that's just like your cat, completely self-washing."

    Litter Robot

    Litter box straight out of a sci-fi film

    This futuristic-looking litter box, like the three previous ones featured, also has a pretty simple concept behind it. It provides a hands-free approach to litter box cleaning so all you have to do is throw away the cat wastes conveniently deposited in a garbage bag that you install inside the Litter Robot waste drawer. One great thing about this automatic litter box is that it entails no additional costs besides your regular clumping litter so despite it's steep initial cost, this might prove to be more economical than the ScoopFree and CatGenie self cleaning litter boxes.

    Here is how Amazon describes this product:
    "The Litter Robot is the automatic, self cleaning litter box for cats 'that really works'. When your cat enters the litter chamber (globe) a weight activated sensor detects the presence of your cat. After 7 minutes a clean cycle starts with the slow rotation of the globe in a counter-clockwise direction. The rotation of the globe sifts and separates clumps from the clean litter (clumping litter) and deposits all waste in the large capacity drawer lined with a standard kitchen garbage bag. The globe then returns to its home position with a clean, level bed of litter ready for the next use. The Litter Robot has no rakes or wires to jam, clog, or break. Its simplicity and durable construction ensure a long life of service. The Litter Robot operates on 12VDC and is easy to set up - just add litter to the globe and plug it in."
