Self-Cleaning Litter Boxes

The Peterest Team is Crowdfunding for the 'Peterest' Litter Box

— September 3, 2024 — Art & Design
The Peterest smart litterbox, developed by the Peterest Team, is designed to offer a convenient and hygienic solution for cat owners. This self-cleaning litterbox features a pull-out drawer design that simplifies the cleaning process. By slowly pulling a lever, the litterbox’s 0.6-inch spaced rakes effectively scoop waste into a replaceable collection box. This design minimizes the need for manual scooping and reduces direct contact with cat waste. Additionally, the litterbox includes a tightly sealed waste bin and a replaceable charcoal filter to control odors, ensuring a fresher environment for both cats and their owners.

The Peterest smart litterbox is constructed from durable polypropylene and is suitable for cats up to 15 pounds. It comes with a specialized non-clumping cat litter that is optimized for use with the litterbox’s cleaning mechanism. The internal dimensions of the litterbox provide ample space for cats to move comfortably, and the collection box can hold up to a week’s worth of waste for one adult cat. This product is designed to be user-friendly and efficient, making it a practical choice for multi-cat households.
