What are the disadvantages and precautions for using PETKIT smart cat litter box?
PETKIT has been a very popular brand of smart cat and dog supplies in recent years. Its biggest feature is that its pet supplies ecology is relatively complete, and most of them support APP remote operation and management.
The picture below is my own PETKIT cat litter box. It takes up minimal space and is very compact. I feel that it is a relatively good product in terms of design.
Follow-up: The PETKIT MAX cat litter box was given to a friend. She has two short-legged cats at home, and PETKITMAX is relatively suitable.
Actual pictures of product details are as follows:
This cat litter box has a pull-out litter box in the lower right corner and is protected by a lock key to prevent it from being accidentally opened. The overall size of the litter box is about 7L. If it is a single-cat household, it can last for about 4-5 days without cleaning. In addition to the garbage bag area, there is also a deodorizing area inside the litter box, which is used to store supporting deodorizing products. The sand basin has a large space, with a capacity of 76L, and can be used for a Maine Coon weighing 20 pounds.
My Petree cat litter box can only support a maximum weight of 16 pounds. PETKIT Plus has an advantage in terms of internal space. It can be considered by families with large cats or fat cats.

One of the more important indicators when choosing an automatic cat litter box is the compatibility of the cat litter. The second-generation PETKIT MAX supports tofu cat litter, bentonite cat litter, and mixed cat litter.

The working principle diagram is as follows. It is similar to the Petree principle, except that the direction of rotation is different. The structure of the cat litter box is also relatively simple. The design structure eliminates the "cat-stuck phenomenon" and is safer.

3.3 Common disadvantages:
1. Opening the bottom drawer will easily scatter cat litter.
2. The inner wall of the cat litter box is very easy to leave poop marks and needs to be cleaned regularly.
3. If you don’t want to control litter, it’s best to use a cat litter mat.
4. Pure tofu cat litter will be wasted when cleaning, that is, part of it will fall into the toilet bowl.
5. You need to buy deodorizing liquid, otherwise the smell of fermentation will come out, tsk tsk~
6. The capacity of the toilet is relatively small, so households with many cats need to be cleaned frequently.
7. If there is a soft stool, it will stick to the inner compartment and filter, which is terrible.
8. Not suitable for big cats over 16 pounds. The internal space is narrow, you know~
but!
Although it has a few shortcomings, it is still worth buying~
It feels so cool to see this kind of technology changing the lives of pets~
