Litter box cleaning is, well, the nastiest. You love your cat and would do anything for them, but let's face it — having to scoop out chunks of poop isn't exactly anyone's idea of a good time.

With all of the smart devices popping up to make everyday tasks easier, you can probably guess what's coming: this automatic self-scooping litter box is about to do your least favorite chore for you.

The PetSafe ScoopFree Self Cleaning Litter Box is exactly what it sounds like: an automatic litter box that you won't need to touch (for a few weeks, at least.) According to the product listing, the rake combs through the crystals every 20 minutes, pulling out the clumps and pushing them into a covered tray on the end. When it's finally time to switch trays, don't worry — just take the tray out from under the box, dispose of it, and replace it with a fresh one.

There's a reason behind the crystal litter, too. Apparently it can absorb liquid faster and controls odor much more than the average litter does — or so says the Amazon listing. Get the PetSafe Self Cleaning Litter Box here for $129.95.
