The Evolution of the Cat Litter Box

Cat litter boxes have advanced from simple trays to smart, self-cleaning systems that improve hygiene and convenience.

Pre-2000 | Manual & Mechanical Era

Litter boxes were primarily manual, requiring regular scooping.

Early mechanical and semi-automatic designs appeared in the 1990s but remained limited in adoption.

2000–2010 | Early Automatic Era

Automatic self-cleaning litter boxes entered the consumer market.

Mechanical and electric cleaning systems reduced daily maintenance but were still niche products.

2010–2015 | Pre-Smart Era

Improvements in safety, reliability, and noise control.
Basic sensor systems were introduced to prevent operation while a cat was inside.

2015–2022 | Smart Litter Box Era

The rise of smart litter boxes, with app connectivity and usage tracking.
Multi-sensor safety systems became more common in higher-end models.

2023–On | Advanced Smart

Greater focus on comfort, hygiene, and data-informed monitoring.
Designs have diversified to include more open and user-friendly structures.
Products such as Neakasa M1 reflect this stage by combining automated cleaning, multi-sensor safety, and an open-top design.

Expert Picks: Best Cat Litter Boxes

"The cleanup mechanism is also very different, as it pretty much flips the entire container upside down — making it easier to dislodge those tougher stuck-on clumps of litter." ---Tom's Guide

2024 Editor's Pick:"The Neakasa M1 Open-top Automatic Cat Litter Box is a hands-free automatic litter box that does the scooping for you!" -----Moderncat

"As an automatic litter box newbie, I am more than impressed with how easy the Neakasa M1 has made litter box cleaning. But what really sets this option apart from others is the smart app, unique open-top design, and the many customizable options." -----Caster

Why Choose Neakasa Cat Litter Box

I used to worry about trapping the cat, but there is no need to worry at all. When it senses that the cat is still inside, it will not rotate to clean the cat litter, so it is very safe.

We love it! We tried not emptying the bin for 8days, for 2 cats, it was almost full, we haven’t smell any odor until we popped the bin open. Very helpful for us especially that we travel a lot.

Because of the open top, this one has been a success!! We have three cats and it can last a whole school week before we have to change the bag--a huge game changer!
