This modern pod-shaped cat litter automatically cleans itself and integrates with a mobile app and Google and Alexa assistants

Looking almost like a slick front-loaded washing machine, the Leo’s Loo Too by Smarty Pear uses a similar rotating chamber to automatically ‘flush’ out your cat’s poo, saving you the trouble of digging away at kitty excrement with a scoop.

The smart pod-shaped litter box is the second in its series, following the orb-like Leo’s Loo. In its second iteration, the Leo’s Loo Too boasts of a smarter design that integrates with a mobile app and supports Google and Alexa voice commands, letting you remotely control your cat litter. The Leo’s Loo Too app also tracks your cat’s toilet activity and its weight, giving you metrics that will help you know if your cat’s got tummy trouble.

Available in 4 colors, the Leo’s Loo Too sports a modern enclosed design that balances the best of both worlds. Its slick design isn’t the kind you’d want to hide away in your toilet – instead, it fits well into any home’s decor, while the enclosed space means your cat can go about its business with utmost privacy.

After your cat’s gone about its business, the Leo’s Loo Too waits for the waste to clump together before beginning its cleaning cycle. To clean out the cat’s waste, the entire inner chamber rotates a full 360, using gravity and a clever mesh design to sift out and separate the waste from the litter. At the end of one 360° spin, the waste gets sent into the Loo’s waste drawer where it’s collected in a plastic waste bag, while the upper chamber is cleaned and laid down with the litter once again. The entire process happens automatically, and can be controlled/calibrated via a companion smartphone app… The Leo’s Loo Too even boasts integration with Alexa and Google Voice Assistant. At less than 30 decibels, the loo’s cleaning cycle occurs quietly, and the fact that the waste gets separately stored in a hidden chamber means the loo remains odor-free at all times.

The Leo’s Loo Too also comes equipped with features and sensors that make it much more advanced than your average kitty litter tray. A safety system made up of radar, weight sensors and anti-pinch sensors allow your cat to go safely about its business without any risk of injury from moving parts. The weight sensors also log each visit and send weight and activity data to your phone, letting you monitor your cat’s health over time. There’s even an internal UV light in the waste drawer that helps reduce bacteria and odor. Once your cat’s done, Leo’s Loo Too automatically cleans up, separately storing the waste in a plastic-bag-lined hidden chamber. When the waste drawer is full, which is typically about a week in most single cat households, the loo automatically alerts you via a smartphone notification, and all you need to do is take out the bag, discard it in your trash and insert a fresh plastic liner into your Leo’s Loo Too! It doesn’t get more hands-free and convenient than that!

This self-cleaning cat litter-tray is fancier than the toilet astronauts do their business in…




Just the very sight of a cat-tray lifting off its base and rotating 90° to separate the poop from the litter looks like something NASA would design. With a rather space-oriented name, the Pluto Square is a modern, highly engineered cat litter tray that cleans itself after your feline friend does its business. It comes in a neat cube-shaped avatar that collects the waste over time so you need to clean up just once a week, and a minimalist Scandinavian-inspired design that looks good enough to place in any corner of your home.

The way the tray works is a pleasure to look at, barring the fact that you’re watching your cat’s waste get segregated and disposed of. The tray comes with a recessed area for the cat to do its thing, while sensors within the Pluto Cube detect the cat’s presence. Once the cat makes its way off the tray, the tray flips 90°, allowing the waste and kitty litter to fall down.

As the tray tilts, a sieve separates the litter from the waste, storing it in a separate container while your cat’s waste falls directly into the Pluto Square’s inner receptacle. The tray then tilts back to its horizontal position, and the litter automatically scatters back into its original place. There’s a certain undeniable simplicity and elegance to how it automatically segregates and disposes of your pet’s waste.

The litter tray, or rather litter cube, comes very conscientiously designed, balancing usability along with aesthetics. Cats are extremely private creatures, which is why the Pluto Square sports a fold-out hood that creates a private space for your cat while it does its business. The tray sits on top of the cube, and a nifty little stepper allows the cat to climb up and down easily too, while conveniently gathering any litter that may come off the cat’s paws as it makes its way up and down its poo-pedestal.

While most of how the Pluto Square works is automated, the one thing you have to do is dispose of the waste once a week. All the waste gets collected in a concealed chamber, and can be emptied out every couple of days (depending really on how many cats you have). Don’t worry about having to check whether the waste chamber is full or not either – Pluto Square can automatically let you know when it’s running full, among other data-points that make you a more caring cat-owner. Weight-sensor built into the four corners of the Pluto Square weigh your cat when it steps on the tray, while also tracking your pet’s potty schedule and frequency. This data really helps you get an overview of your feline friend’s overall health.

The rather minimal-modern litter cube plugs right into any outlet, requiring a mere 40W of power to operate. It occupies about the same amount of volumetric space as a plastic stepping stool, although it’s visually much more contemporary looking, with its zen-like white body and the splash of home-decor-friendly color when it comes to the tray and the fold-out hood. The tray works with virtually any kind of clumping litter you may have (it works with loose litter too, although clumping litter provides the best results), and it pops right out when you want to hose it down with water every couple of weeks for a cleaning.

Lastly, each Pluto Square comes with its companion app that not only gives you data and alerts regarding your pet’s schedule and health, it lets you remotely clean the tray too by just hitting a button! Cats are pretty self-caring low-maintenance animals, to begin with… Pluto Square makes things just a wee bit easier!

This smart litter box uses AI recognition + sensors to prevent 7 common cat illnesses!

Ever felt like life would be complete if only our pets could talk? I always wonder how that would go – they would be able to express what they want to eat, how they are feeling, if they want to go out to play, and when they are feeling sick. As a cat owner myself, one of the biggest worries is that my cat can’t tell me when he’s feeling ill. Naturally, I would want to help as soon as he feels low but realistically we can’t be there monitoring them 24×7. Enter LuluPet – a smart litter box that uses AI recognition to detect symptoms of the top 7 common cat illnesses! Designs like this bridge the language barrier between our cats and us (for obvious reasons)!

LuluPet is the first smart cat litter box that uses excretory image recognition to track your cat’s health with 95% accuracy – yes, it means through their potty habits. More than 30% of the cats suffer from urinary tract diseases in their life and pet owners don’t catch it till it’s late. Cats inherently hide their pain so it makes it even more difficult to spot what is wrong especially with illnesses like kidney disease, heart disease, and urinary tract problems early on. With LuluPet you have more control over your cat’s health and you will be alerted of any irregularity in real-time whether it is a minor issue or a potentially major one. LuluPet uses AI image recognition to help identify urinary tract problems and a built-in camera, infrared sensor, and AI chips to analyze different types of feces. It distinguishes feces using the Bristol Stool Scale and combines with medical data from pet hospitals to identify symptoms of cat diseases which sets it apart from the traditional litter boxes that simply detect the weight of the feces.

The double door design helps reduce fallen litter when cats finish their business and the front entry is ideal for kittens and senior cats who are unable to jump constantly. It has an easy to clean drawer and works with all kinds of poop be it scented, unscented, clumpy, or not clumpy. Lulupet also has enough room for your pet, the hexagonal shape creates the most internal space for your cat while keeping it manageable for every size household. A nice detail is that you can keep the litter box completely closed or semi-open depending on what you and your cat prefer (maybe you both love the blue litter box more?). LuluPet makes it easier for you to keep your pet’s health in top condition without feeling guilty or being constantly worried about them not being able to tell you what is wrong and nipping issues in the bud if any. It is also compatible with Google Home and Alexa so even if you forget to check the app, your virtual assistant will send you a reminder.

The litter box is integrated with a smart app so you will get real-time alerts from the LuluPet and can act quickly when needed. This also saved pet owners from excessive vet visits and the constant worry is your cat is alright, but with LuluPet both you and your feline friend can sleep easy. Stool and urine analysis is the most straightforward way of detecting a wide range of feline diseases. LuluPet has an in-depth, cat pathology database with clinical data from more than 6,000 cats and automatically cross-references the details to ensure your cat’s health is in the normal range. Health data varies for different breeds depending on cat age, but our AI Autonomous Learning Mechanism gives a custom data model for each cat so they get a report uniquely tailored to their situation. AI accurately monitors cat weight, urine volume, stool volume, excretion duration, excretion frequency, excretion appearance, and color type – so you know what is truly happening on the inside even if they can’t express it.

LuluPet – Cat Health Monitoring Made Simple

LuluPet is the first smart cat litter box using excretory image recognition to monitor your cat’s health through their potty habits with 95% accuracy. You get real-time alerts from the LuluPet App so you know if there’s an irregularity in your pet’s loo time as soon as possible.

Early Detection Can Increase Your Cat’s Lifespan

Cats have a deeply-rooted natural instinct to hide their pain, making it difficult to spot the signs of illnesses like kidney disease, heart disease and urinary tract problems early on. Lulupet gives you more control over your cat’s wellbeing by alerting you of potential issues the moment it detects an irregularity. Early treatment can help prevent a minor health issue from developing into an irreversible condition.

Stool and urine analysis has become the most straightforward way of detecting a wide range of feline diseases. LuLuPet uses artificial intelligence to monitor and analyze your cat’s health through stool image, weight change and excretory behaviors.

Highly-accurate Excretory Recognition System

LuluPet uses AI image recognition to help identify urinary tract problems and a built-in camera, infrared sensor, and AI chips to analyze different types of feces. It distinguishes feces using the Bristol Stool Scale and combines with medical data from pet hospitals to identify symptoms of cat diseases.

360 View of Your Cat’s Health & Wellbeing

LuluPet keeps a complete record of your cat’s daily toilet schedule and overall health, giving you an extensive health monitoring system.

Real-time Alerts – When the data is abnormal, you get a push notification so you never miss the crucial moment to take your baby to the vet.

Failsafe Poop Discovery System – In the off chance that there’s an unrecognizable condition, each cat’s excretion behavior is also stored in a video for your own review.

Multi-cat Identification

LuluPet identifies up to 15 individual cats by memorizing faces, fur colors and different recorded data per cat, like weight. This way, every cat’s toilet schedule is recorded individually, without each cat needing a special collar or attachment for identification.

If you have two similar looking kitties, no problem! LuluPet uses their weight difference to determine who’s who—as long as it’s more than 0.11 lbs (50 grams), they can be distinguished!

Customizable Box Design for Every Cat

LuluPet developed parts that are easy to assemble and customize so every cat gets its purrfect setup—whether that’s an open-air litter box, semi-closed or closed.

Double-door Design – The top exit helps reduce fallen litter when cats finish their business and the front entry is ideal for kittens and senior cats who are unable to jump constantly.

Works With Any Cat Litter – Scented, unscented, clumping, not clumping—your kitty has preferences and LuluPet works with them all.

Easy-clean Drawer – Cleaning a litter box has never been easier with our handy, pull-out drawer design! No need to disassemble or practically climb inside, just pull out the drawer and scoop or empty.

Works With Google Home or Amazon Alexa

You can connect it with your Google Home or Amazon Alexa and get daily updates on your cat’s health without even pressing a button.

This IKEA-worthy self-cleaning litter box is possibly the best looking one we’ve ever seen

It would be an absolute disservice to cats (and the designers) to call the Circle Zero a litter box. Designed almost like an art installation, the Circle Zero is, well, a smart-sculpture your cat can relieve itself in. It looks sort of like a Fortress of Solitude for felines, given its planetary shape, and boasts of a feature list that’s as futuristic as its overall design.

The Circle Zero from PLUTO is a smart litter box that takes care of your cat’s business. Designed to be fully automated, fully enclosed, and exceptionally silent, the litter box comes with a completely enclosed design to provide a private experience. Sensors on the box detect the presence of the cat, and wait for a full 7 minutes after they’re done to automatically (and silently) scoop the waste from the litter and store it separately while completely containing and eliminating any odor too. Once the waste compartment is full, you can use any bag or liner to collect it and throw it away. The Circle Zero works with any brand of kitty litter and comes with two types of scoop-designs. Sensors within the box (although it’s technically a sphere) keep track of your cat’s routines and can notify you via an app if any irregularities are spotted. The litter box monitors your cat(s) to give you information that may be of relevance to your veterinarian, and yes, the Circle Zero does support (and can individually track) multiple cats.

The Circle Zero’s ultimate value proposition is its combination of aesthetics and automation. Designed to appear classy (and practically something you’d find in an IKEA catalog), the Circle Zero truly looks like the kind of device you’d want to keep in your living room. Its ability to automatically segregate and separate waste even offsets those duties from pet-owners, giving you some peace of mind while giving your furry friends a classy, clean, and quiet port-a-loo to go about their business in. I’m sure your felines would give it a double thumbs-up if they could!

A Scandinavian-styled minimalist cat litter-box that puts IKEA’s furniture to shame

Meet Jackson Cunningham. You could broadly call him a furniture designer, but his job description is a little more specific and a lot more obscure. Jackson designs furniture for cats.

Realizing that readily available cat litter-boxes are either boring looking plastic trays or over-engineered, IoT-powered poop-shrines, Jackson went ahead and fashioned himself something that catered to his cat, as well as his space. The Cove is every bit a part of your household’s decor. It isn’t too ugly-looking that you’d hide it a corner of your house, or too advanced that it uses sensors to track your cat’s bowel movements for you to show your vet. The Cove is furniture that’s designed for not just cats, but also for the humans who want to have well-designed products in their well-decorated homes.

The Cove is a minimalist Scandinavian-styled litter box that complements your home decor. Made from non-toxic recycled plastic, the litter-box comes with a simple, clean, off-white design that integrates a scooper along with a dust-pan and brush into its form. The box comes with vertical walls that prevent litter from accidentally spilling out, or the tray being overturned, along with a silicone base that keeps the tray from accidentally slipping or moving around the floor. Designed as much for humans as for cats, the Cove’s integrated scooper docks securely within the box, and comes with a sturdy silicone grip for easy scooping as well as a carefully designed scoop mesh that cleanly and efficiently sieves through the litter to collect the cat-waste. In the event that some litter does spill out, the Cove’s dust-pan and brush let you easily clean up the spill and dump the litter right back where it belongs.

Available in regular and large sizes, the Cove is just one of Tuft & Paw’s many design-forward furniture solutions for cats and owners alike. Designing everything from cat-enclosures to scratching-trees and even elaborate jungle-gyms for feline friends, Jackson Cunningham and his team of designers and engineers partner with feline behaviorists to create fun, functional, and fashionable feline furniture that even the hooman and the planet will appreciate!

Cove: The Litter Box Re-engineered

Built by designers, engineers, and cat behaviorists, the Cove is a simple, beautiful litter box with an integrated scoop, dustpan, and handbrush.

Total Litter Lineup

During their research they found that the litterbox tools are as important to user satisfaction as the box itself. Yet, most litterboxes include, as an afterthought, a cheap flimsy scoop that ends up just being tossed on the floor beside the box. Another common user frustration is the litter scatter caused by a cat’s coming and going.

Why not engineer a litterbox with well-integrated tools that address the realities of maintaining a litterbox?

The Cove includes a scoop, dustpan, and hand brush that fit perfectly into an accessible top compartment.

Tidy, scoop and store.

Cove’s shape is incredibly simple and open – there are no unnecessary bends or hard-to-get-to corners. For the material itself, they considered a variety of options, but ultimately landed on recycled plastic because it’s durable and especially easy to clean.

Details You’ll Love

Easy to clean with a single wipe. No nooks, crannies or tiny parts for germs and odors to hide.

Scoop shape matches the exact contours of the box. No digging or awkward angles.

Smarter, faster scooping, for the win. Engineered with angled slots to make litter sifting as fast and minimal as possible. The handle and grip feel great in your hands, and it all slides easily back into the box for safe keeping.

Easy-to-clean tool storage. Pop it out, clean it up, put it back. Simple.

Compatible with all clumping litter. No need to switch things up.

Easy to grab and move. Grab from the base handle and go when it’s time for a deep clean or move.

Stays in place. A silicon base that grips the floor to stay put even when cats are on the go.

Cove is the perfect size. The dimensions of the box are 22″ x 16″ x 6″. Cove’s walls are vertical – so it actually feels bigger and more spacious for a cat despite taking up a similar footprint.
