Now, here’s the part where I get ironic: I actually missed scooping for the first two days. It felt like I had lost my purpose as a cat owner. But then I realized I could use that extra 10 minutes a day to drink my coffee while it’s still hot.

The waste bin holds about a week’s worth of waste for one cat. For two cats, you’ll empty it every three to four days. That bin is fully enclosed, so you don’t see or smell the mess. (I once forgot to empty it for nine days. Embarrassing, but I lived.)
Battery life? It runs on 4 D batteries or an optional AC adapter. I use the adapter because I’m lazy, but the batteries last about two months. So you’re covered either way.
