Key Advantages of CatGenie Whoosh

Zero Waste Storage

Unlike traditional automatic litter boxes that store waste in drawers or traps, the CatGenie Whoosh liquefies and flushes all waste away immediately. This means no odors, no emptying of waste containers, and a truly hands-off experience.

Lightning-Fast Cleaning

With a complete cleaning cycle of just 7 minutes, the CatGenie Whoosh is significantly faster than traditional automatic litter boxes, which only scoop waste but don't actually clean the litter itself.

Unlimited Multi-Cat Support

Traditional automatic boxes are limited by their waste drawer capacity, requiring more frequent emptying with multiple cats. The CatGenie Whoosh has no such limitation since waste is flushed away, making it perfect for multi-cat households.

Eco-Friendly Solution

The Whoosh uses sustainable water-soluble tofu litter made from soybean byproducts, a much more environmentally friendly option compared to traditional clay or crystal litters that end up in landfills.

True Cleaning, Not Just Scooping

Traditional automatic boxes simply remove waste but don't clean the litter. The CatGenie Whoosh actually liquefies and flushes waste away, providing a much more hygienic solution for both cats and owners.

Minimal Maintenance

While traditional automatic boxes require emptying waste drawers every few days, the CatGenie Whoosh only needs litter refills as needed and SaniSolution cartridge replacements after hundreds of cleaning cycles.
