Cat parents share countless universal experiences, but hosting around the holidays spotlights one in particular: the dread that your cat will poop in its litter box in the room right next to where all the people are standing.
If you've been considering switching to an automatic litter box for this exact reason, Best Buy has a last-minute holiday deal that should be your sign to make the investment. The Best Buy Drop of the day for Dec. 17 is the Litter-Robot 4 Self-Cleaning Litter Box Core Accessories Bundle for $679 — a savings of $120 that beats the $100 discount that Whisker litter box bundles were seeing during Black Friday.
Wait, what's Best Buy Drops? The "Drops" tab at the top of the Best Buy mobile app is a running list of items that Best Buy is droppingthat week, which are often big name products getting a rare discount that likely won't be found elsewhere. (Past Drops have included the Shark FlexStyle, Samsung's The Frame, or the PS5 Slim Edition — and the M2 iPad Air is the Drop coming up on Dec. 20.) Here, shoppers can preview which items are coming on which day so that they're ready to hit "add to cart" when each deal goes live at 11 a.m. ET on its respective day. Once one goes live, a status bar keeps track of how much inventory is left for that item. This could last anywhere from a few seconds to a few hours, depending on popularity.

But if you have the budget, I'm here to tell you that you won't regret your self-scooping litter box purchase. While I personally haven't tried a Litter-Robot specifically, I do live in a two-cat, two-automatic litter box household, and those litter boxes being able to scoop themselves has saved me so much time and stress. That's stress over the smell, which is kept at bay for a week or two at a time, and stress over planning when I'm going to be away from home. Whether it's a quick day trip or several days away, not having to beg my roommates to manually scoop or force my cats to live in their own filth has been such a game changer. And no, my cats aren't afraid of the automatic litter boxes at all.

My most similar litter box to the Litter-Robot 4 is the $699.99 Leo's Loo Too, which features the same spin and sift set up that separates clumped litter pieces into a waste drawer in the bottom. Your cat may or may not like the fact that the Litter-Robot's opening is much wider than that of Leo's Loo Too (some cats find the bigger hole intimidating). On the subject of entering and exiting the box, the mini ramp shown in many Litter-Robot photos would be a reason to go the Litter-Robot route if your cat has any type of mobility issues. It is sold separately for $65 at Litter-Robot, Target, Amazon, and more, but you can technically use the money you just saved with this Drop. (If your cats don't like the big egg-shaped design at all, I recommend the PetSafe ScoopFree.)
On top of the litter box itself, the Core Accessories a fence and litter trap mat to prevent litter tracking, 25 waste drawer liners (that you'll need to switch every week or so, depending on the number of cats using it). six OdorTrap packs, cleaning wipes, and a one-year warranty.
