Pet parenting can be a dirty job. One of the most dreaded chores? Litter box duty. No matter how tidy your cat or how clumpy your litter, no one looks forward to scooping. But it has to be done—and regularly. In fact, some finicky felines will even boycott boxes that aren’t up to their standards. That’s why we love self-cleaning litter boxes. By automatically scooping messes in a waste drawer after “business” wraps up, an automatic cat litter box reduces odors, eliminates the need for daily cleaning, and keeps everyone (humans and cats alike) happy. All you have to do is empty the waste drawer. There are a number of robotic litter boxes on the market these days, with varying high-tech features and amenities. These are the best self-cleaning litter boxes, based on Chewy customer reviews, customer ratings, sales and expert input.

It runs the length of the cat’s underside, but is typically more pronounced near the back legs. “The primordial pouch is a mix of fat, skin and fur,” says Dr. Bonk. “All cats have primordial pouches—they are just different sizes depending on your kitty.” Cats begin to develop stomach pouches during kittenhood, typically around 6 months old.
