A Look At The CatGenie Self-Cleaning Litter Box

December 23rd, 2011 Cats

CatGenieIf you’re seeking a way to avoid changing your cat’s litter every day, you may be considering CatGenie, which is advertised as a self-cleaning, self-flushing cat box. Yet you may have some concerns before buying CatGenie, such as whether your cat will want to use it or if it really performs as well as advertised. While CatGenie isn’t perfect, most people who’ve bought it find it’s an effective litter box alternative. If you’re considering CatGenie for your home, this review can inform you about some of the product’s pluses and minuses.

Health And CatGenie

Cat litter can be a hazard to our health not to mention it’s a mess to deal with. If you have allergies, asthma, or are sensitive to dust, the germs that collect in litter can cause you real problems. A parasitic disease especially troublesome for women called toxoplasmosis is caused by kitty litter. CatGenie is a way to remove these health risks by completely replacing cat litter with a self cleaning system. If you are at risk of having to give up your cat due to health conditions you should research this CatGenie system first.

Most of the work necessary for maintaining the catgenie is done for you making it simple. The unit is basically cleaned each time the granules are washed unlike with a litter box. You should wipe the outside once in a while though. A maintenance cartridge will also help remove built up grime over time. Besides that you will need to clean the water sensor, which is simple, to keep it functioning properly. Overall, cleaning and maintaining the CatGenie is easy, especially compared to the alternative.

Price of The CatGenie

One concern some cat owners have about buying CatGenie is the price. There’s no getting around the fact that this is not the cheapest way to dispose of your cat’s waste products.

If you purchase one of their package deals, such as the Tuxedo Package, you receive everything that you’ll need, including the CatGenie 120, a GenieDome for cats that prefer a cover, cartridges and Washable Granules. This package isn’t cheap -around $400- so you have to calculate whether or not it’s worth it to you to avoid cleaning out the litter box every day. You can shave about $100 off that price if you stick to buying just the CatGenie, though then you’ll have to purchase accessories at some point.

In summary, CatGenie offers cat owners a viable alternative to changing litter every day. No one likes to deal with cat litter, and it’s not even healthy for the environment, so you may want to think about trying this clever cat toilet instead. There are other products on the market that also replace cat litter, but CatGenie is the most advanced and complete solution.
