Robo Kitty Litter. Although the cat in the pic looks more like it should be saying "I'm sorry, I can't do that Dave".

Check out the awesome flash demo and find out if your cat is right for poo-bot. Fat cats need not apply.

  • Hi kitfisto!!!!
  • I have a different self-cleaning device for my feline. It was a bit over a hundred bucks, and I debated about doing it or not. I did, and it's great.
  • The picture on Wired definitely needs rocket launchers and caterpillar tracks attached. And a dog running away. And animation. B3ta, we need you! p.s. Hi fotkestu!
  • It's hard enough to get Sam to trust a stationary box. Her paws are too fastidious to touch something that might move.
  • I used to have a cat that could squat and do half, then two-three minutes later would go back and finish. I would imagine at about seven minutes you would have an expensive kitty ejection device.
  • If Poo Bot could also sprout legs, waddle outside, and eject its own bag of "collected material" into the dumpster then we'd be talking.
  • The cat sillhouette in the technical diagram is NOT in a litterbox pose.
  • FERCHRISSAKE sloot!! Just tell us what you bought already!! Fucking tease....
  • So it's 299 in dollars, but the European site charges 349 euro (517 dollars at today's rate). Ouch. You can get a Littermaid in the States for 130 bucks, or there's ScoopFree for 140. But they don't have that cool robot look and don't seem to come in black.
  • I'd shit in that black one myself. Loudly humming that music from the beginning of 2001 all the while.
  • Als so shat Zarathustra.
  • Brilliant Plegmund. "My God! It's full of..."
  • Reports are coming in of the mysterious appearance of a large, dark, oblong-shaped mass...
  • OK, so that's another film I can never watch again. Unless I want to think of... no, no...
  • Open the pod bay door, Hal. I'm afraid I can't let you do that Dave.
  • Wow, that's expensive. It's a neat idea, but I'd rather buy a bench from Ikea and customize it.
  • What roryk said. I do like the idea of how the internal "walkway" is lined with a plastic grid to catch those bits of urine-soaked litter. One could easily devise something similar at a fraction of the cost. $750 for a glass litter jar!?
  • It's a neat idea, but I'd rather buy a bench from Ikea and customize it. It's a neat idea, but I'd rather not have it part of the living room, with the cat shitting away next to me while me and my guests are trying to enjoy a nice cuppa.
  • Squeegee required in aisle 57, stat!
  • "One could easily devise something similar at a fraction of the cost." Get to it! I'll buy one.
