How to choose a toilet for a cat, what types they are: automatic, closed, houses, trays, with and without a side. Cat toilet Kopfgescheit KG7010DC

An automatic toilet for cats, this fantastic piece of equipment seems like an expensive toy to many. On the Internet you can find indignant statements: is it really so difficult to wash a litter box that people are willing to spend a lot of money on innovations for their pet. What if there are 5 cats living in the house? And everyone has a tray. All five need to be washed, otherwise the stench in the house is terrible. It is for such cases that this device was developed. For breeders caring for several pets at once, an automatic toilet is not a luxury, but a life-saving necessity.

Automatic toilets for cats: operating principle and purpose

The Cat Litter Box differs from a regular litter box only in the presence of sieving rakes and a waste receptacle

This tray costs $129 on eBay. According to reviews from breeders, with silica gel filler Cat Litter Box lasts 5 years or longer. It’s very easy to train a cat to use it:

1. Install an automatic toilet instead of the old litter box.
2. Add a little used litter to the clean litter so that the cat can smell itself and understand that this is a toilet.
3. Do not turn on automatic cleaning for your pet during the first week of use, so as not to scare away the cat and allow it to get used to the new item.

Disadvantages include the need to remove excrement from the receiver and wash all surfaces. The presence of an unpleasant odor depends entirely on the quality of the filler. Cat Litter Box does not eliminate litter odors.

This toilet has more modern look. It is made in the form of a round bowl, which begins to rotate during cleansing. A lattice scoop is immersed in the filler. Clean granules pass through the grate, and large fractions are retained along the conveyor belt arrive in a special container. The liquid, as in a regular tray, flows into the pan.

Simply Clean toilet - self-cleaning box with conveyor belt

There are practically no advantages over the previous option. You will also have to come into contact with your cat’s waste yourself. Feces and urine receptacles are not airtight, so to eliminate the smell in the house you need to wash this unit more often or use expensive fillers. The only plus is that it's new original design

- is at the same time a minus. The cat will be cramped in such a tray, and the complex structure will be more difficult to disassemble, wash and reassemble. Training your pet to Simply Clean is as easy as training your pet to Litter Box. The price of the product on eBay is 5–6 thousand rubles or $99.

Toilet Kopfgescheit A good attempt to create an analogue of human plumbing for cats. They say that the original version was made of sanitary ware; after modernization, customers began to receive plastic Kopfgescheit toilets. Authorship is attributed Italian designers , the Kopfgescheit brand belongs to Russian company , and the product comes from Taiwan. Nevertheless, the principle of operation is admirable, and appearance

- tenderness. The cat toilet completely copies the familiar urinal.

The Kopfgescheit cat toilet completely copies plumbing for people A motion sensor is built into the side. 15 seconds after the cat has done its business, the flush is triggered. To train your pet, the kit includes a toilet seat cover into which filler is poured.

Gradually the amount of filler is reduced to a minimum. When the cat gets used to doing without it, the pad is removed. The price in one of the online stores is 14,990 rubles. Many breeders believe that original idea

• still needs improvements:
• Even the most powerful water pressure in the Kopfgescheit is not able to wash away cat feces. They stick. You'll have to work with a brush.
• The plastic under the heavy cats creaks a lot. The sensor is installed on inside
• rim, so the flush can work when the cat is standing on the edge or just sniffing the toilet. The noise and water scare away the pet, he begins to look for a toilet in another, quieter place.
• Urine leaks under the headband, which causes unpleasant odors.
• The cat steps into its own puddle in the toilet, tries to bury it, splashes urine on the walls and carries it around the house on its paws.

Over time, cats become disillusioned with such a tray and turn it into a drinking bowl.

Hello! How, some say, in order to make our life easier, we bought ourselves such a miracle thing (I’m talking about a toilet with an auto-flush Kopfgescheit). To be honest, we saved money. They squeezed 20,000 rubles. on CatGenie. Stinginess (ours, of course) resulted in the fact that the cartridge must be bought for 1,200 rubles once every four months (this is for one cat - respectively, for two - once every 2 months). Result: 1. Difficulty connecting. (technically difficult process). 2. There must be a certain diameter of the pipe that supplies cold air. water. (if the pipe is smaller, the flush works very poorly (does not wash away poop)). 3. The flush is very loud and scary (cats get scared) 4. The cats simply refused to go to this toilet (stupidly they went on strike - they began to relieve themselves anywhere but in this toilet) The cats finished us off in 4 days. The toilet was dismantled and sent back . So I had to order CatGenie. We use it - we really like it! We're saving up some money for a second one just like it. To girls (cats) and kittens (they have a separate apartment in our nursery). There you are real experience.

Toilet for cats Kopfgescheit. I installed this one personally. It really works. Flushing is automatic using a photocell (how exactly it is implemented - see the instructions). Disadvantages - high price and the cat may not like it. After installation, the customer accustomed an adult cat to it for two weeks, then for a year they did not know any grief. After this, the cat died tragically, and the kitten was adopted. This one flatly refused to use it; only a tray with filler. So it doesn’t happen once at a time (but theoretically, most likely, it should work out). I will definitely install such a thing for myself (my cat) when I renovate the bathroom.

http://www.mastergrad.com/forums/t230607-tualet-dlya-koshek/

I decided to try using Kopfgescheit (now I regret that I didn’t return it right away, they won’t take the used one). Two of the three cats began to walk into it without problems, one categorically did not recognize it and began to shit on the floor, which it had never done before. The two “successful” cats started smearing everything on the walls (while they were trying to bury it) or simply stood up in their business with their paws and then stomped around. The smell of urine was very strong, even though I washed it every day. Urine also flows under the frame along the side. As for the automation: the toilet works as it wants, based on the sensors very conditionally, that is, it sees the cat when it is inside the bowl, but if the cat is standing on its paws or sitting on the side, the sensor does not notice it, and accordingly it can release water into the cat’s paws or when the cat sniffs or otherwise explores. At the same time, the water starts up very noisily, and the cats simply jump away. As a result, the second cat also stopped going in it, the only cat went in it normally, the others used it as a drinking bowl.

CatGenie 120 robotic toilet

This is a professional toilet that does everything itself. You can program cleaning, for example, to do it twice a day or immediately after a cat visits. There's also immediate on-demand cleaning at the touch of a button. The CatGenie looks like a regular toilet, but has been upgraded to suit your cat's needs. In particular, the round tray is filled with plastic granules, which means that four-legged animals will be comfortable in such a toilet, because the instinct to bury their “treasures” can be realized.

The CatGenie 120 toilet has a familiar appearance for humans and is comfortable for cats.

After starting the program, the tray with the filler begins to rotate, and the lattice scoop is lowered into it. Mixing and sifting occurs, as a result of which solid waste remains on the scoop and is lifted onto it into a special chamber, where it is mixed with water and goes into the sewer. Then water with shampoo flows into the bowl-tray. The filler is automatically washed and dried.

The model has already gained a lot positive feedback. Owners even forget that cats have a smell and need to be cleaned up after them. There is a smell of detergent in the toilet.

This robot also has a lot of disadvantages:

• High price, now about 29.9 thousand rubles.
• Expensive consumables. Filler and cartridges with detergent We need to buy only branded ones. Replacement is necessary once every 2–4 months.
• After a few years of use, the motor may break down; replacing it will cost about 10 thousand rubles.
• Once every six months you need to disassemble the structure and wash it to remove stubborn deposits.
• The scoop has a sparse grid, small fractions of feces may remain, you need to keep an eye on it and remove it with a regular scoop. Such waste can go through all stages of purification, including drying. Then a very unpleasant smell will spread throughout the apartment.
• The device beeps loudly when some kind of failure occurs, for example, the water is turned off. Doesn't start again when the problem is fixed. Needs to be turned on manually. Because of such failures, owners are afraid to leave home and ask friends to look after the cat's toilet.
• The entire auto-cleaning process lasts about 40 minutes, and the granules remain warm for the same amount of time. As a result, the air in the room becomes very hot; it is necessary to install a hood.
• If there are 2-3 cats in the house, then the next one who wants to go to the toilet may not be able to stand it while the machine does the cleaning.

But all these disadvantages are offset by the pleasure of using modern and high-quality equipment. Cats and people like cleanliness and odorlessness.

CatGenie is installed permanently, as washing machine. Connects to sewerage, water and electricity.

To toilet train a cat:

1. Move the old tray to the location where the CatGenie will be installed.
2. After installing the toilet, leave the tray nearby. Don't turn it on new device so as not to frighten the animal.
3. First, accustom your pet to CatGenie granules, add a little to the old tray, mix with the usual filler. You cannot do the opposite: pour filler that is not intended for it into the toilet.
4. When your cat starts using CatGenie granules without problems, stop cleaning and washing the old litter box. The cat will choose a cleaner place for the toilet. Most likely, it will be a robot toilet standing nearby. To be on the safe side, place soiled CatGenie pellets from the tray in the automatic toilet.
5. Give it a week to get used to the new toilet and only then start using automatic cleaning.

Perhaps every cat lover will be interested in an automatic toilet for cats.

If only because it is not easy to organize cleanliness and freshness in the place where your pet does his business.

Especially if there are several pets.

Let's take a closer look at this interesting invention, and we will understand how necessary it is for the four-legged beauty.

By the way, to make it convenient for her to eat food, check out and choose the ideal one for your pet.

She also has to go to the toilet often.

To eliminate the need to constantly clean and maintain cleanliness, a special device was invented solving the problem automatically.

That's what it is.

The moment of using an automatic toilet

Externally, the automatic cat toilet looks elegant and is quite reminiscent of a human one.

The principle of operation is the same. The cat does his business in the litter.

The owner's task comes down to simple action: either press a special button and wash away the waste, or program the time after which the procedure will complete itself.

Actually, this is what distinguishes such products.

Some rely on the same mechanical flushing as human toilets, while others are self-cleaning litter boxes for cats.

Which option is more convenient and effective is, of course, up to you to decide, as well as what to choose for a furry pet.

Automatic cat litter can look creative

There are quite a lot of advantages to an automatic cat litter:

1. You don’t have to scoop out, scrape off stuck together lumps of filler yourself, and also wash the dirty tray;
2. The miracle toilet looks fresh and neat, it does not emit an unpleasant odor, therefore, the cat goes there more willingly, “mistakes” happen less often;
3. Some models allow you to fully automate cleaning; you can leave the cat on for a long time one (if necessary), without fear that he will dirty the entire tray and walk past it;
4. Some models come with their own filling granules, allowing you to save on filler, whose price is quite high;
5. It is hygienic and is especially indispensable in homes where there are small children.

In general, the advantages are enough to buy this miracle invention.

Moreover, it is relatively inexpensive (especially when you consider how much time and money it saves): from 10-15 to 25 thousand rubles.

A decent price to pay for comfort. But let's take things in order.

Features of the invention

There is a comic opinion that lazy owners came up with an automatic toilet for cats.

They supposedly didn’t want to dig through the tray several times a day, removing the pet’s waste products.

In fact, everything is more prosaic.

Some models of automatic toilets look like cozy houses

The gadget appeared not so long ago.

The most famous brands are

• Kopfgescheit;
• Catgenie;
• Simply Clean;
• Cat Litter Box.

The product has become widespread in Lately, but many owners can say: it’s not suitable for everyone. We'll tell you why below.

By the way, if your kitten doesn’t succeed in making friends with automation, we recommend reading.

An alternative is a regular cat litter box.

Let's go back to modern gadget. Initially, the cat toilet was based on the usual principle: the animal did its business, the owner came, pressed the pedal - and the water coming from the pipe washed everything away.

Such types still exist. However, progress has gone further, automating the process as much as possible.

Thanks to the built-in touch sensor, smart technology knows when the cat is in the tray.

Later certain time after the pet has left it, the flush is triggered.

A time period (usually 20 seconds) is needed so as not to frighten the cat by unexpectedly appearing water and noise.

Manufacturing materials

Most often, the products are made from porcelain, or the familiar sanitary ware. They are priced accordingly.

However, all costs are offset by the fact that a self-cleaning toilet is also hygienically clean.

It was made using a material that is ideal for this type of device.

Porcelain is the main material for the production of toilets for cats

More a budget option- plastic. It also cleans well.

The material resembles that from which outdoor dry toilets are made.

Models can be produced in different color solutions, which will help you choose a toilet that suits your interior.

Types and manufacturers

There are three types of cat litter boxes.

They are fundamentally different from each other, although they have a common function - independent drainage of excrement, without direct human participation:

1. A device similar to a human one, but filled with special granules. For example, Catgenie products, which can be purchased on the manufacturer’s website or official dealers. There is no need to pour the usual filler into such a toilet. It is filled with special granules, through which liquid excrement flows into the drain. Solids are collected with a special rotating scoop. The owner can install convenient time cleaning: the tank will wash itself, the granules will be cleaned and dried. This type of self-cleaning cat litter requires a connection to sewerage and electricity. You can do this yourself or call a plumber. Suitable for almost all cat breeds: from type and , and to type , and . Equipped with a sensor.

Catgenie automatic cat litter with special granule filler

1. A device similar to a human one, without granules. No different from the ones people use, except that you need to add your preferred filler. It’s possible without it at all, but many cats refuse to go into a tank that they can’t dig into. This also includes sensory toilets that do not require filler. They work like this: the cat comes in, does its business, and leaves. The sensor reads presence. When the cat leaves the tank, smart technology counts down the set time and then drains. There are several disadvantages: the animal may be afraid of water, some cats ignore the latrine due to the lack of filler, it requires a connection to the sewer, light, and water supply (this can be done with your own hands). The most famous manufacturer is Kopfgescheit.

Pictured: Kopfgescheit automatic cat litter

1. Tray with self-cleaning function. Operating principle: it looks like a regular tray, but somewhat more complicated. When the animal goes into it, a special device will collect and send excrement to the lower tank, and the worker will become clean again. For such toilets, it is necessary to purchase special bags for excrement. Once a week they will have to be removed, and every day you will have to clean the tray by pulling a special lever. One of famous brands, producing similar products - Hagen smart sift. The manufacturer has one more “highlight”: the car toilet is available in the form cozy house, which is suitable for absolutely all breeds, even large ones. It has a significant disadvantage: you can’t get rid of the smell until you change the waste bag.

In the photo: using the Hagen smart sift automatic cat litter box

An automatic litter box for cats is an excellent purchase that greatly simplifies keeping your pet.

But besides quite high price, it has a number of other disadvantages, which are discussed below.

Flaws

Cat toilets are convenient, hygienic, and are connected to the sewer system with your own hands. But they have a number of significant disadvantages:

• They require additional costs for light and water, with self-cleaning trays the most.
• Cats don’t always like them because of the noise, pouring water, and the periodically rotating surface of some models.
• Those that lack litter to dig for may be ignored by your pet;
• When the lights are turned off or the water supply is turned off, automatic toilets lose their main advantage - they stop cleaning the tanks on their own;
• Some models cannot neutralize unpleasant odors, although they remove animal waste products from sight.

Waste bags

It's up to you to decide whether to buy such a miracle of technology.

Many manufacturers accept the product back if for some reason it does not suit the four-legged picky dog.

For some, cleaning the cat litter box is not a problem. They picked up waste products with a special scoop, threw them away and forgot about them. Others find it difficult to tolerate this procedure.

The difficulty arises when you have to leave home. If organizing cat food is feasible, then the toilet situation is a tragedy.

How to avoid it? A cat litter box with an automatic cleaning function will help.

Operating principle

It is the same for all trays. The cat goes to the toilet, it is cleaned automatically. The only difference is in the programming. One automatic pet toilet requires pressing a button to start cleaning, the other requires installing a specific program, the field of which operates completely independently.

Let's talk about each in more detail.

CatGenie

additional information

This will take a week of time and patience.

It all starts with a regular tray. Gradually, day after day, the filler is removed from it. At first just a little, on the second day - more, on the third - even more. For seven days. By the end of the week the tray remains empty. And the cat gradually gets used to the fact that the volume of the filler is reduced. Give her another two to three days to get used to the empty litter box. And you can replace it with an automatic cat litter box.

Let's summarize

The purpose of the article is to tell the reader about what an automatic litter box for cats is. What models are the most popular, what do the owners whose animals use it say about the automatic tray. Advantages and disadvantages of each model. Let's highlight the main aspects:

Review of automatic cat litter boxes March 23rd, 2014

But I’ll tell you - 100 years ago the usual white toilet was a curiosity and shocked some, and even now many are not familiar with the achievements of the sanitaryware industry. Once upon a time, even the Queen of Great Britain went to the hole, and the courtier who was in charge of the royal toilet cleaned up after her. It was called the “groom of the stool.”

If you have a cat and a male cat living with you, then you can safely call yourself a “cat seat cleaner.” Cats, unlike dogs, do not go outside on a leash to perform their daily natural needs. Cats have their own toilet at home - a tray or master toilet. But times are changing, comfort is expanding, and a toilet has also been invented for cats.

Tray with rake

The conventional tray with a mechanical rake was the first to enter the automatic toilet market. A simple principle of operation - some time after the appearance of poop in the tray, the rake automatically passes through the layer of filler and pushes the waste into the container. As the container is filled, waste lumps must be thrown out.

The simple and clear principle of operation and the shape of the toilet (tray) attract the user. There are a large number of users and the disadvantages of this method are known. The rake does not always manage to push the lumps into the container; the cat may poop profusely and the rake will stand up. It is not entirely clear how foolproofing works; the cat will definitely begin to explore the cleaning process and may be harmed by moving parts.

A big plus is the low price and not big size.

Rotating tray

This is a closed version of the tray with an automatic cleaning mechanism. A simple principle of operation - after the well-known cat actions, the tray begins to rotate and the waste, rotating in the filler, turns into lumps; at the end of the process, the filler is sorted into the chamber, and the waste falls into the trash bin. Afterwards, the tray returns to its place, and the filler pours out of the chamber into its place.

A wonderful invention that looks like an object Star Wars has found its niche among cat litter. An obvious plus is automatic operation and perfect protection from a bad cat. The toilet has a sensor that reacts to the presence of a cat and any actions are suspended upon contact with the animal.

There are also disadvantages - large size and cost.

cat toilet

This is a hybrid of a conventional toilet and a tray with filler. Well, a piece of the tray with a rake is here.

A toilet filled with filler is waiting for its pet. After all the cat's business, the litter is washed and passed through a rake, waste is removed, and the litter is washed special means. The waste is washed down the drain, the filler is dried and everything returns to its original state.

This is quite a trick structure with a brilliant idea, and contains a requirement for the owner to clearly and accurately understand the operating principle and nuances of the device. And there are enough of them, for example, a cat must be combed of hair, as it can clog the cleaning system. You must understand that the device contains many mechanisms (cleaning agent supply system, rake blade, heating and drying system), and they (the mechanisms) must be serviced in a timely manner for normal operation.

A wonderful device if you clearly understand how it works. A big plus is that all waste is dumped into the sewer.

Conclusions: all three models are good in their own way, a tray with a rake for its familiarity and price, a tray with a rotating body for its well-thought-out reliable waste separation system, a toilet with a filler for its ingenious idea. Everyone should choose based on the habits of their pet, their own understanding of technical issues and price. But the price is not the most important argument when choosing; by buying such a toilet, you are investing in your comfort; this is a long-term investment for 10-15 years. And here it is important not to miss, just like when sitting on the toilet.
