  • Really not worth it in my opinion. I'm hoping some day it will be, kind of like how robot vacuums used to ha e a lot more problems and be a lot more expensive.

    We couldn't afford any of the robot litter boxes for starters, even if we could manage the huge upfront cost (compared to the cost of even a high quality regular litter box), they all have some type of additional ongoing cost. Bags, or filters, or replacement parts, or more expensive litter.

    Second, every one I looked at had reviews about cleanliness not being completely covered by the machine, so you sometimes have to clean a lot more parts than just quickly rinsing a typical litter box. Some people's cats also get dirtier, or struggle to aim in some robot ones.

    Third, I find the smell worse with any that you don't dump or replace the tray every day. Using a diaper Genie honestly works much better for that for us. And I would rather know that I only need to take the 30 seconds to scoop every day as opposed to suddenly waking up to a broken litter box or having to spend an hour plus cleaning every part of it.

    Lots of different opinions on here which is great, this is just my take!

  • Yeah I don't even know what that means 🤣 I'm really slow to understand something new technologically speaking, but once I've got it I feel confident. I'm totally comfortable with Lemmy and Bookwyrm now for example!

  • I mean the grey background and bland expression may be skewing our perception. I wanna see these people in a meadow with a mouth open smile wearing colorful pastel clothing!

    On another note I'd love to see photoshop battles start up on Lemmy 😎

  • First off, love this question!

    Active listening and validating someone's emotions. Relationship skills in general honestly! Like how to adress the core attachment need in a disagreement instead of just the surface issue.
