Footloose by Petato is now being introduced on Kickstarter as a next-gen self-cleaning litter box that is much more than just an automatic receptacle for pet waste.
While there are now countless self-cleaning cat litter boxes on the market, many of them are prone to breaking, costly to upkeep and some even scare away cats with their designs. As well as addressing the concerns that many pet parents have with automated litter boxes, Footloose goes above and beyond by offering health-tracking features for felines with artificial intelligence.
One of the many smart design features of Footloose is an ergonomic raised chamber shape that helps to address the fact that cats often get harassed by more dominant cats while toileting. A small doorstep may also be introduced to help smaller or elderly cats enter and exit the litter box comfortably.
