We’re proud to announce that the Neakasa M9 Open-View Automatic & Self-Cleaning Litter Box has earned Gold in the Product Design – Animals & Pets category at the 2026 MUSE Design Awards.
This recognition reflects the thinking behind the M9’s design. We believe better pet care starts with understanding how cats interact with the products we create for them.
Designed Around Your Cat
When designing the M9, we focused on making litter care easier for cat owners. We also wanted to create a space where cats feel comfortable.
Our answer begins with an open-view design. Rather than surrounding cats with an enclosed chamber, the M9 gives them a wider view of their surroundings and greater freedom to move. Its soft curves and rounded shape bring that same thoughtful approach into your home.
We also considered safety at the structural level. The M9’s angled rotation and specially shaped drum help keep the cleaning path open. This design supports safer automatic cleaning.
Less Scooping, More Connection
We know that caring for a cat involves countless small routines. The M9 combines automatic cleaning, odor control, and app connectivity to make daily litter care easier.
Our PureTower system combines activated carbon with moisture-absorbing materials to help control odor without added fragrance. Through the app, you can track litter box visits, usage duration, and weight trends. These insights help you stay informed about your cat’s daily habits.
These features to work together to make everyday care easier. Your cat’s needs remain at the heart of every detail.
- Tilt-Safe Rotation helps reduce enclosed pinch points through structural design.
- Spacious open-view cabin gives cats room to move within a compact footprint.
- PureTower odour control helps absorb odours and manage moisture.
- Quick-detach components make routine cleaning and maintenance easier.
A Milestone We’re Proud to Share
Receiving MUSE Gold is a meaningful milestone for our team. It recognizes the thought and work behind the M9, from its open-view structure to the details that support everyday use.
Thank you to the cat parents who continue to inspire our work. We look forward to bringing more thoughtful design into the routines you share with your pets.
