• Low Noise Operation: The device operates at a sound level below 35dB, designed not to startle or frighten kittens or sensitive cats.
• Anti-Pinch Protection: Integrated mechanisms prevent pinching during drum rotation.
• Secure Restart: The system is designed for a secure restart after any power interruptions, ensuring safe resumption of function.

4. Operation

The FEELNEEDY Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box offers both automatic and app-controlled operation for your convenience.

4.1 Automatic Cleaning

The self-cleaning mechanism activates approximately 2 minutes after your cat exits the litter box. It isolates waste into a sealed 11L bin, ensuring a fresh environment without manual scooping. The intelligent drum rotation is designed to effectively remove even sticky waste without leaving residues.

5. Maintenance and Odor Control

Maintaining your FEELNEEDY litter box is designed to be effortless, focusing on hygiene and odor elimination.

5.1 Waste Disposal

The system features an 11-liter sealed waste bin, significantly reducing the frequency of manual waste disposal. To empty, simply lift the lid and rotate the drum; no complex disassembly is required. This process can reduce your cleaning time by up to 80%.

5.2 Triple Odor Control Technology

The litter box incorporates a triple odor control system to maintain a fresh home environment:

3. Hermetic Waste Bin: Features a 360° silicone seal, ensuring zero gas escape and effectively containing odors.

This system is designed to maintain a neutral atmosphere 24/7, even in multi-cat households or smaller living spaces.
