Eco-friendly Flushing Cat Box Reduces Waste
Did you know litter for cat boxes is strip mined and has a negative impact on the environment? Eep. Then after it's used, you dump it into your garbage where it's sent to bulk up landfills. Is there a more eco-friendly alternative? One that removes litter from the scenario? (Environment aside, it's a pain just to have to change the litter in those cat boxes all the time.)
Well, the folks at Cat Genie believe they have a good solution.
The company's cat box uses washable granules that need not be thrown away. And you don't have to wash them yourself either. You simply hook this bad boy into your plumbing (apparently it's easier than it sounds--a one-time 10-minute project) and cold water flushes the waste away, just as with a toilet. For the solid stuff, there's a raking scoop thing that liquefies the waste for easy removal.
So, if you're tired of changing cat litter for your furry friends, maybe it's time for an automatic system that takes care of the mess for you (and is better for the environment).
