The Litter-Robot 5 Self-Cleaning Litter Box (Black), made by Whisker, is the next generation of automatic litter boxes, built for households with up to five cats and designed around advanced waste detection, richer pet monitoring, and a more efficient drawer system. After each visit, the globe rotates to sift clumps from clean litter and deposit waste into a sealed drawer below. The proprietary WasteID™ system identifies whether the cat left behind solid waste or urine, then adjusts the cycle timing accordingly — cycling quickly after solid waste to contain odors, and waiting after urine so clumps can form properly before sifting. With a larger interior and expanded weight range compared to previous models, it accommodates cats from small kittens to extra-large breeds like Maine Coons.
The unit connects to the Whisker app over a 2.4 GHz WiFi network, providing real-time notifications, remote cycle control, and per-cat weight tracking through the built-in SmartScale®. WasteID™ also unlocks advanced routine monitoring, giving owners a deeper view of each cat's litter box habits over time. The full-color LCD panel makes setup straightforward and keeps daily status visible at a glance. Designed for multi-cat families, tech-forward pet owners, and anyone seeking a more hands-off litter management solution, the Litter-Robot 5 integrates with the broader Whisker accessory ecosystem and supports optional Whisker+ membership for up to two years of historical health and usage data.
Litter-Robot 5 Features
The Litter-Robot 5 combines automatic cleaning, waste-type intelligence, and connected pet monitoring into one self-cleaning litter box built for multi-cat homes.
WasteID™ Odor Control
An industry-first sensor system identifies whether your cat left urine or solid waste, then adjusts the cycle timing for targeted odor management. Solid waste triggers a fast cycle to contain smells immediately, while urine cycles wait for proper clump formation.
Self-Cleaning
Automatically sifts waste after every use, leaving a fresh bed of litter with no scooping required. The QuietSift® cycle runs quietly enough that skittish cats won't notice — and neither will you.
EasyClean™ Design
Modular construction with easy-to-clean components makes deep cleaning straightforward. The efficiently designed waste drawer distributes waste evenly, reducing how often it needs to be emptied — as infrequently as every 10 days in a one-cat household.
Best Suited For
The Litter-Robot 5 is built for households that want more from their automatic litter box — more cats, more insights, and more advanced odor management, all without adding more daily effort.
Multi-Cat Households
Designed for homes with up to five cats weighing between 3 and 30 lbs, the Litter-Robot 5 keeps up with heavy usage and distributes waste more evenly across the drawer to extend time between empties. SmartScale® distinguishes cats by their individual weights, so each animal gets tracked separately in the Whisker app.
Connected Pet Care & Health Monitoring
Through the Whisker app, owners receive real-time notifications, remote cycle control, and per-cat weight trends. WasteID™ adds a layer of routine monitoring that goes beyond basic visit tracking, helping owners spot behavioral changes that may signal health concerns early. Optional Whisker+ membership extends data history up to two years for deeper insights.
Large Breeds & Kittens
With an entryway of 15.75 inches and an interior height of 17.5 inches, the globe comfortably accommodates extra-large breeds like Maine Coons and Norwegian Forest cats. Kittens weighing at least 3 lbs can use the unit in fully automatic mode, and lighter kittens can be managed in semi-automatic mode until they reach the minimum weight threshold.
