The problem that I have with things like the CatGenie where it claims that you never have to “Touch or clean cat litter again” is that when you clean you cat litter box it is one of the ways that you can keep an eye on your cat’s health. I had a cat who was prone to UTIs and if we had something like the CatGenie I would not have been able to properly keep an eye on his urine and the ammonia smell or if he had blood in his urine as well.

My opinion on this also is from “what if your cat has diarrhea?” you wouldn’t be able to tell if maybe it’s just a one time thing or if you need to adjust/change your cat’s food.

CatGenie The world’s only self-flushing, self-washing cat box. You’ll never touch, change or buy cat litter again. The CatGenie Secret? Washable Granules not litter.

When you purchase the CatGenie, everything needed to make your home litter free is included: The only tools needed are a wrench or a pair of pliers. Some non-standard hookups may require additional parts not provided by PetNovations, Inc. Included supplies should last over 3 months for 1 cat and about 2 months for 2 cats.
