Got a dishwasher after I bought my house and it is incredible.

Also got one of those fancy self-scooping litter boxes which is great.

Got my yard fenced in too after I broke my ankle/leg walking my dog and had to have surgery. Now I can just let the dogs out whenever and not have to worry about them running off or me breaking my bones.

I’m hesitant with those because I have a gang of crafty raccoons hanging around. The 3 little shits cause so many problems and I don’t wanna wake up to raccoons in my house.

Which litterbox did you get? A brand would be appreciated.

Not my comment, but we have a Litter Robot 3 and we love it. Cats like it as the box is always clean, filter does a good job of keeping the smells down… And its easy to repair…

I got the PetSafe Scoop Free litter box. It’s expensive, as is the refill litter, but it’s so good.

I looked into litter box robots and decided to try a low-tech solution first. I got an Arm & Hammer sifting litter box for under $20.

Basically, you dump the whole litter box into an equal sized sifter, then lift the sifter and give it a little shake, then dump the waste.

I can completely clean each litter box in 10-15 seconds. It’s not fully automatic, but I have no need for a robot anymore.
