Sliding Litter Box
Engage in my studio project sponsored by Whisker, where I’ve created a mechanical litter box that not only tackles mess and odor but also prevents other animals from digging through the litter.
Research
Cats kick out litter when covering
Tracks litter around house
“I have to keep the litter in a cardboard box because the cat tracks litter places”
Too much effort to clean
“The litter is in a garbage bag so I can just take it out and replace it instead of deep cleaning and scrubbing every time”No way to prevent dogs from playing in the kitty litter and making a mess
The Problem
