The Cat Genie Automatic Litter Box

This is the CatGenie 120 Self-Washing Self-Flushing Cat Box.

cat genie automatic litter box

It is a pretty neat contraption for cat owners.

As it says, it is self flushing and self washing.

With the Cat Genie, after you set it up, you will probably never have to touch it again. Except to refill granules or to replace them when they get old.

It’s got different settings you can use. You can set it to clean twice a day, once a day, or 10 minutes after your cat has gone. It has a cat sensor to let it know when a cat has used it. It also has a manual button that you can use whenever you want to clean it.

It takes about half an hour for it to go through the whole process. It chops up the poop, it washes the granules with its own detergent which contains anti-odor stuff. It then proceeds to blow dry itself and then it is ready for the next cat.

I think it’s a pretty neat litter box. Although I think it’s a bit expensive, it’s a good product for those who don’t want to scoop a litter box again.

And thinking about it, if you have this one, you can probably go away on vacation for a few days and not have to worry about getting a cat sitter. As long as you make sure to provide enough food and fresh water. I wouldn’t be gone for more than a few days though. Cats do get lonely.

One disadvantage to it is that you have to do some plumbing work to install it. Not complicated stuff, but you need a little bit of plumbing knowledge. What needs to be connected is a t connector – one split to the cat genie and the other split to the toilet (if the bathroom is where you want to keep it). You’ll need one for the water to come in and wash and another one for when it flushes the waste and what not away.

And also, if you have a small bathroom, it may not fit. Alternately, you can keep it in the kitchen, washroom, laundry room, or garage if it has a plumbing connection.

Talking about disadvantages, some people have reported that the cleaning process releases all the poop smell and makes it smell in their whole apartment. Others say there is no smell. So, who knows. It all depends on your cat and how bad his or her poop smells . . .

How To Rid Your Home Of Cat Urine Smell

If you have one or several cats, you will likely one day have to deal with cleaning up cat pee. Not the most pleasant thought, but stuff happens.

There are products out there that are made for just this particular duty. But if you read their reviews, you might find that there are always people who do not have any success with these products. So, is it the products or is it the way they work?

How do you really clean up cat urine to get rid of the smell?

Fresh cat pee can easily be cleaned up with white vinegar. It will neutralize the ammonia in the urea and get rid of the smell. You have to make sure you get every last drop of urine.

If however, you find out that your cat had an accident days later because of the smell, then you need to use a product that will attack the bacteria that have now colonized in that pee. You have to soak ALL affected areas with the enzyme solution for it to work successfully. Follow the instructions on whichever product you choose to the letter. You may have to apply several times per instructions. If the pee has gotten into the padding of your carpet, you will need to apply enough solution to reach that padding to attack the bacteria living there now. Once you open up the product, you have a very limited time to use the enzymes. They need to be alive to work.

Fling Ama String Cat Toy – A Motorized String Toy!

You know the classic picture of a cat and a ball of yarn. Well, the Fling Ama String Cat Toy brings the charm and allure of the string to your cat in a motorized version.

Fling Ama String Cat ToyThe name is just silly to me, but cats love the silly toy.

This toy attaches to a doorknob and it needs 2 AA batteries to operate. What it does is it has a long colorful string on it that the motor turns around and around. So it goes down the front and up the back of the toy. You know how cats love to play peek-a-boo with toys. So for them, seeing the string disappear and reappear gets them really going.
