About
Litter-Robot is a premium smart home pet care device that automates the most tedious part of cat ownership — scooping the litter box. After each use, the unit quietly rotates to sift clumps into a sealed waste drawer, keeping the litter bed fresh for every subsequent visit. The proprietary WasteID™ technology uses AI to differentiate between urine and feces, enabling targeted odor control in the sealed drawer compartment. The Whisker companion app (available on iOS and Android) delivers real-time status updates, waste drawer fill alerts, and litter level monitoring. Advanced AI-powered dual cameras provide live streaming and recording of the litter area, giving pet owners peace of mind. Individual health profiles can be created per cat in multi-cat households, tracking weight trends and detecting irregular bathroom behavior that may signal health concerns. Litter-Robot models range from the flagship Litter-Robot 5 Pro — supporting up to 5 cats — to the more accessible Litter-Robot 4. All units are designed, assembled, and engineered in America and come with free shipping, a 90-day in-home trial, and a 1-year warranty. Financing options start at $44/month. The product has received top honors from Good Housekeeping, Wirecutter, and Forbes, making it the definitive solution for cat owners seeking a cleaner, low-maintenance litter experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my cat actually use the Litter-Robot?
Most cats adapt well. It's recommended to place the Litter-Robot near the old box, leave it off initially so cats can explore, and transfer some used litter to make it feel familiar. Cats used to covered boxes typically acclimate faster.
How many cats can one Litter-Robot support?
The Litter-Robot 5 supports up to 5 cats. Other models vary in capacity, but all are designed for multi-cat households, removing the need for one box per cat.
What is the Whisker app and what does it do?
The Whisker app is the companion mobile app for Litter-Robot. It provides real-time status updates, waste drawer and litter level alerts, individual cat health tracking, live camera feeds, and historical usage data.
What kind of litter is compatible with Litter-Robot?
Litter-Robot is designed for use with clumping cat litter. Litter-Robot also sells its own GreatLitter brand, and non-clumping or crystal litters are generally not recommended.
