Hey Guys! Warning for all CAT OWNERS!
There is a Model, a Design, of automated cat litterboxes that is killing cats.
It has a lot of cheap knock-off versions, and the video review by One Man Five Cats on youtube is starting to spread.
I wanted to add photos for people to see because the video is very in-depth regarding just how this cat box kills furbabies. I understand people can't handle that, but information is still important.
The thing is this: The tub of the litterbox rolls backwards. Up and backwards, cutting off access from the front while it cleans. THE PROBLEM is that grey ring around the entrance! It's fixed to the bottom of the box and DOES NOT COME OFF. It is a literal guillotine.
The pics above show Philip using his hand to test the safety features. There is a camera, weight sensor, and sensor on the rotating drum that is supposed to stop the roll. The problem is? It doesn't. It delays the roll, beeps a few warnings, then continues to roll. Now, there has been a software update to correct the issue, but the real threat is the design overall. The tub rolls up, the bottom doesn't move. Regardless of software, the hardware design is the threat.
Philip's hand got stuck and it sounded like it really hurt. It left marks on his hand and he needed to use his other hand to pull back on the drum and free his hand.
Don't even consider this design.
Check out One Man Five Cats online. He does a lot of reviews and highly recommends other, safer boxes. He recommends not buying any new design/model that is less than a year old at least.
Here is a link to his review playlist.
This is a link to the video above. WARNING for blood, graphic pictures, retelling of how two cats died with gruesome details.
