Electronic Cat Litter Boxes
First of all, it should be known that electronic cat litter boxes really work. They've been in use in my household for a few years, and the only thing you need to remember is that every few days you have to remove the litter container and refill the litter. Our cats didn't mind the electronic cat litter box - in fact, I suspect at night they played with it!
Electronic cat litter boxes work by have a small ledge that cat must step on when leaving the little box. Once they step on the ledge, the automatic nature of the box is activated, and about 30 seconds later the box springs into action, scoops the litter and dumps it into a covered a partially sealed container. I was surprised that it worked as well as it did, to be honest, and I suspect that newer models work even better.
One tip to help reduce the cost of electronic cat litter boxes is to cover the plastic resevoir with plastic bags from the grocery store - when the resevoir is full, just remove the bag, throw the litter away, and replace a bag around the resevoir. That way you aren't constantly having to buy new plastic containers for your automatic litterbox.
There are many choices for electronic litter boxes - we've listed some of them below. Remember that you need to use a "premium" cat litter. It must clump really well, or the automatic litter box won't work. Premium cat litter is much better for your cat anyway, so it's worth it!
 LitterMaid Automatic Litter Box
No more scooping! No more odors! An infrared sensor starts automatic operation ten minutes after your cat leaves the litter box. The rake scoops waste and drops it into the disposable container, where it and odors are sealed away. When the receptacle is full, just throw it away and replace with a fresh one. Safety bar stops and reverses at the slightest touch.
