Booda Dome Cleanstep, $50

Roll 'n Clean Litter Box, $35 regular; $45 large
The Roll 'n Clean litter box has a built-in system to make cleaning the litter box a snap. After kitty has finished, simply roll the box to the side until the top touches the ground. This runs the litter through a screen, separating the clumps and depositing them into the built-in tray. Now roll the box back to the upward position and the clean litter returns to the bottom of the box. Easy!
Litter-Robot, $329
This self-cleaning cat litter box has a litter sifting system that may keep you from ever scooping litter again. Seven minutes after your cat leaves the box, the globe portion of the Litter-Robot begins to slowly turn. Solid waste is sifted out and deposited into a drawer in the base of the unit and then the globe rotates back into place.
Hidden Litter Cat Litter Box, $60
This litter hider resembles a Tuscan-style clay pot, but is in fact made of durable, easy-to-clean plastic. It has a large opening and is quite spacious inside, making it suitable for bigger cats. There is a filtered vent system in the top and it even comes with its own faux plant. Turn the entrance to the wall to give your cat even more privacy.
