FAQ
How often do I empty the waste drawer?
It depends on the mechanism and cat count — published claims range from roughly every eight days for a rotating drum to up to 30 days for a crystal tray system. Always read the claim with its cat count. Source: How to Choose an Automatic Litter Box
Does an automatic litter box need Wi-Fi?
Wi-Fi is usually optional for the core cleaning cycle but required for app features such as per-cat tracking and alerts. Source: How to Choose an Automatic Litter Box
Does a dog GPS tracker need a subscription?
Generally not for live tracking — the cellular link is the product; one model bundles a year of service into the device price. Source: How to Choose a GPS Tracker for Dogs
