Clever cats need even smarter litter boxes: Meet the new AI-powered Litter-Robot

Kasey Caminiti- The new models are designed for multi-cat households and smaller living spaces.
- Advanced features include AI-powered cameras for health monitoring and WasteID technology to distinguish between waste types.
- Whisker also introduced a Whisker+ membership for advanced tracking and a PetTag for individual cat recognition.
If you own a pet, you've probably heard the words "Litter-Robot" before. I have two dogs and I have never owned a cat but those two words immediately make me think of what the future of caring for a pet could look like.
Well, Whisker is the brand behind those two magic words and they recently launched a new fleet of cat litter box technology, plus the coolest accessories like an AirTag for cats (yes, it is called a PetTag). Let's just bat the new products around a bit:
Meet the new Litter-Robot releases
All three models are available for to order now with shipping expected by Sunday, November 30.
Whisker Litter-Robot 5
Designed for multi-cat households, this model introduces WasteID technology, which distinguishes between urine and feces for smarter cleaning cycles and behavior tracking. A redesigned waste drawer enhances odor control, making it ideal for busy homes.
Whisker Litter-Robot 5 Pro
The most advanced model yet, the Pro features dual AI-powered cameras. One exterior-facing camera has facial recognition and the second interior-facing camera can monitor the litter bed. These cameras allow for individualized tracking and health insights via the Whisker app, helping pet parents spot changes in routine early.
Whisker Litter-Robot EVO
Compact and the most affordable of the new trio, the Litter-Robot EVO is perfect for smaller spaces or homes with just one or two cats. It offers core Litter-Robot features in a streamlined design without sacrificing performance.
Smart new cat care with Whisker+ and PetTag
Whisker has also expanded its connected ecosystem with two cool new innovations:
- Whisker+ Membership ($7.99 per month or $79.90 per year): Unlock advanced insights like daily activity summaries, enhanced bathroom tracking, and long-term behavioral trends. It’s a must-have for pet parents who want to stay ahead of potential health issues.
- PetTag ($29): This RFID-powered tag fits most cat collars and works with the Litter-Robot 5 Pro to enhance individual cat recognition, especially helpful in multi-cat households. It also supports LostPet tracking, adding peace of mind for pet safety.
