Why the CatGenie Whoosh Is the Best Automatic Litter Box on the Market
CatGenie Whoosh: The Self-Cleaning Cat Box That Actually is Self-Cleaning
When PetNovations first introduced the CatGenie, they weren’t just aiming to improve litter boxes—they wanted to completely change how we deal with cat waste. Their goal was simple yet revolutionary: build a cat box that doesn’t just scoop and store waste, but one that eliminates it entirely. Now, they’ve taken that vision even further with the CatGenie Whoosh—a next-generation self-cleaning litter solution designed to be closer to what cat owners are already used to, but drastically more hygienic, convenient, and eco-conscious.
Solving the Real Problems Cat Owners Face
For most cat owners, litter boxes are a chore that never really ends. You scoop, you dump, you refill—and still deal with lingering odors and frequent cleanings. Popular automatic litter boxes like Litter Robot 4, Casa Leo Loo Too, and Neakasa* may offer relief, but they still rely on hidden drawers that need to be emptied manually. So while the scooping may be automated, the dirty work is still very much yours and waste sits in your home piling up.
The CatGenie Whoosh aims to solve all of that. It’s built for anyone who’s tired of the mess and the maintenance—whether you’re a busy professional, an older adult, pregnant, living with a disability, or simply want your home to smell fresher and feel cleaner. And because it’s made by a team that values sustainability as much as pet wellness, it’s also designed to be environmentally responsible.
Waste Removal, Not Waste Storage
Despite the claims, most “self-cleaning” litter boxes on the market today don’t actually remove waste. They just shift it from the litter bed into a hidden compartment—out of sight, but still very much in your home.
The CatGenie Whoosh is different. Instead of collecting waste and holding onto it, it flushes it away. After a simple DIY set-up, waste is processed and removed through the drain in your bathroom or laundry room, much like a real toilet. That means no waste drawers, no lingering smells, and no unpleasant surprises waiting under the hood.
A Fresh Box in Just Seven Minutes
After each use, the CatGenie Whoosh begins a full cleaning cycle. It automatically scoops out clumps of liquid and solid waste and transfers them to the Whoosh Hopper, where they’re broken down, flushed away, and the hopper is rinsed with water and cat-safe SaniSolution— to keep the Whoosh clean and odor free.
The system then re-levels the litter bed, leaving a clean, fresh surface for your cat’s next visit. The entire process takes about seven minutes, and each cycle is a complete refresh—no residue, no buildup, and no stored waste.
Better Litter for a Better Planet
Traditional litter—whether clay or silica-based—is often environmentally damaging due to mining and non-biodegradable materials. The CatGenie Whoosh Super Clumping Natural Cat Litter, is a biodegradable, water-soluble litter made from food-grade soybean pulp (a byproduct of tofu production). It’s flushable, non-toxic and highly effective at managing odor and moisture. Because the litter dissolves completely in water, it safe for plumbing, septic systems and is even very low in dust. That makes it a safer choice not just for your home, but for the environment as well.
Note: Whoosh Super Clumping Cat Litter is made for the CatGenie Whoosh system and isn’t compatible with the CatGenie A.I. unit. And while it might be tempting to use any tofu litter in the CatGenie Whoosh, almost all are too large and not compatible with the GenieHand sifting system. Additionally, many “flushable Tofu litters” that are available are mixtures that contain clay (bentonite), or other additives that are not water-soluble and can cause issues with plumbing.
PetNovations has also tested and approved two additional litters for the Whoosh system:
- Soy Sand™ Tofu Litter*
- Sustainably Yours™ Cassava-Based Litter*
Both are 100% water-soluble, properly clump, and work seamlessly with the Whoosh’s GenieHand sifting system.
Designed to Be Truly Hands-Off
The CatGenie Whoosh isn’t just about technology—it’s about accessibility. For people who can’t or shouldn’t be handling a litter box regularly, this system can be life-changing. There’s no scooping, no drawer to empty, and no strong odors lingering around. Once the unit is installed, it essentially takes care of itself. Your cat always has a clean place to go, and you barely have to think about it.
Flush the Waste—Not Your Time
If your current litter box stores waste in a drawer, it’s not really solving the problem. It’s just postponing it. The CatGenie Whoosh is the only system that completely removes waste from your home. It’s not just cleaner—it’s smarter, simpler, and what cat care should have been all along. More time with your cat. Less time with their litter. And a lighter footprint on the planet.
Flush the waste, not your time. Choose CatGenie Whoosh.
