If CatGenie is something you think you may want to buy, this review will introduce you to some of its main features.
If you’re expecting a type of litter box, CatGenie will surprise you, as it resembles a toilet more than a litter box. Like a toilet, it connects to your plumbing, so it’s commonly kept in the bathroom next to your own toilet. If you’re concerned about the size of CatGenie, it may look bigger than a litter box because of its height, but in square inches it’s about the same size as a large box.
It can be installed anywhere there’s a water intake, whether a bathroom or laundry room. One other necessity is that there’s an electrical outlet where the unit can be plugged in. Any cat owning guests who visit you will probably ask you where they can get one of these for their own home! This system is more environmentally friendly than a traditional litter box. Unlike the CatGenie system regular litter only adds to the overgrown landfill issues we already have. Even if you only have one cat you are buying and disposing of over 100 pounds of litter each year. This system contains washable granules that replace the litter and the best part is it’s biodegradable. Now you can see why this system is touted as being more convenient for you as well as better for the environment than standard litter boxes.
You may be wondering if CatGenie is worth the price, as it is one of the more expensive litter box alternatives. There’s no getting around the fact that this is not the cheapest way to dispose of your cat’s waste products.
