If you're as tired of scooping up cat litter as I am, investing in an automatic self-cleaning cat litter box might be just the thing. But before throwing down the cash, take into consideration if your cat prefers open boxes, lots of privacy, or cozy spots when using the litter box. Automatic self-cleaners have come a long way over the years from the loud contraptions that scared both you and your cat. These machines are quiet and efficient and do all the dirty work for you.
