Our Story: A Better Way to Manage Cat Waste
The ideas and technology behind CatGenie began taking shape in 1998, driven by a team of creative thinkers and engineers who set out to fundamentally change the way people manage cat waste. Their vision was ambitious: create a system that is truly self-cleaning, flushes waste away, and reduces dependence on traditional clay cat litter.
Over the next decade, we developed and refined several prototypes before introducing the original CatGenie 60 in 2007. By combining automatic cleaning and flushing, CatGenie offered cat owners an entirely new approach to cat waste management. Customer feedback and continued advances in engineering, safety, and cleaning technology led to the CatGenie 120, followed by an even bigger leap forward.
As smart technology became part of everyday life, we developed CatGenie A.I., bringing intelligent features, customizable settings, personalized recommendations, reminders, and an accompanying app to the cat box experience. Launched in North America in late 2019, CatGenie A.I. continued our mission to make life with cats cleaner and easier.
Our innovation hasn't stopped there. With CatGenie Whoosh, we've expanded our approach to meet the needs of even more cat families, offering another way to automatically manage cat waste without storing it in a drawer or requiring owners to scoop, bag, and dispose of it themselves.
Today, CatGenie A.I. and CatGenie Whoosh reflect the same vision that inspired our earliest designs: a cleaner home, less time spent managing cat waste, and more time enjoying life with your cats.
After more than two decades of innovation, we remain committed to developing smarter, more convenient, and more environmentally responsible solutions. We're proud to have served hundreds of thousands of cat families around the world, and we're continuing to challenge the conventional litter box with a simple belief: cat waste should be not stored in your home.
