Roberto’s delimma with his pet dog

Last week, my cousin suddenly called me up and told that he wanted to meet me urgently. Roberto, my cousin stayed in Lake Havasu, AZ with his wife Sandy and her mother. He is a software application engineer and a Close friend of mine. We had spent our childhood in the same apartment in Charleston, SC. We had undergone some magnificent days together there. I was quiet tensed and wanted to know the matter. So I take half day leave and had gone to his place.

When I inquired the issue, I came to know that they were having trouble with his barky 2 months old Yorkshire terrier. Last week one of his neighbors lodged a complain citing the excessive barking of the dog. As a result police came to his house and warned him to take a step to solve the dog barking issue. He was really disheartened and could not understand what to do. That’s why he called me up.

As we were consulting the topic, I proposed to buy a bark control collar. We spent the next half an hour surfing the net on his computer to look for the best bark collar that might be suitable for his puppy. After going through the net for bark collars, we listed the best suited anti bark collars available in the market-
Petsafe bark collar
Citronella spray collar
• Innotek rechargeable collar
• Multivet bark collar
• Small dog bark collar

To make sure that he buys the best suited one for his pet, we analyzed further deeper. We also had to think about the cost. Our first choice was Petsafe PDBC-300 Deluxe No-Bark Control Collar with Sound and Vibration Sensitivity but it costs around 64$ which would be an over-budget for Roberto. Ultimately we settled down for Innotek BC-50B Automatic and Rechargeable No-Bark Collars because this long lasting, waterproof, hassle free automatic bark control collar is a safe and immediate way out to prevent the nuisance barking and it costs around 35$. Roberto immediately ordered for it online from Amazon.

It was really a productive discussion which ended on a great note as Roberto has found the solution of his barking dog problem. Roberto thanked me several times and I promised to call him to find out the updates.

The CatGenie 120 The Completely Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box

Before I tell you about the CatGenie 120 let me tell you a little story. Even to this day I still smell the wretched stink of cat pee at my brother-in-law’s.

He had two full grown cats and he very rarely cleaned the litter box both cats used. Because of this, the apartment smelled like cat pee and was overwhelming. We stayed there for about 6 weeks and looking back I don’t know how we managed it.

Tip – Cats Don’t Like Dirty Litter Boxes!!

Cats don’t like dirty litter boxes anymore than people like filthy toilets and they will let you know this. A few times they’d leave little presents in the bathtub.

I mistakenly blamed the cats because I didn’t know in those days that they needed a clean litter box to go potty in. With today’s hectic schedules it is extremely easy to put off cleaning the litter box.

Automatic Cat Litter Boxes To The Rescue?

To aid cat owners a few companies have tried to make automatic cleaning cat litter boxes with varied success. Most of them operate by mechanically scooping the solids and raking them into a container that must be replaced when it gets full.

The biggest issue with these types of automatic cat litter boxes is that they just move the cat poop from one spot to another in or near the box and you still need to physically remove a bag or receptacle often. YUK!!! There is however, one product that is different than the other self cleaning litter boxes on the market …

Introducing The CatGenie 120 Automatic Litter Box

The CatGenie 120 is the only self-cleaning cat litter box that completely cleans and sanizies itself.

Here is what one user said about the CatGenie 120…

“It has worked great. I had a little leak in the back where the water hose connects but that was easily fixed be tightening it more. Just make sure it’s really tight before you use it the first time and you won’t have this problem. As stated in other reviews the sanitizer does smell when it’s drying but it goes away in about an hour.

If you hate cleaning cat litter and the smell that goes along with having a litter box then get this. It’s well worth it. – D.M.S.”



What makes the CatGenie unique is that it mechanically flushes cat poop away and then cleans itself.


As you can see it doesn’t use traditional cat litter. Instead it uses special plastic biodegradable pellets that from time to time need to be topped off. A 100 % biodegradable SaniSolution cartridge totally sanitizes the CatGenie 120 self-cleaning after the washing cycle so it is fresh and clean for your cat.

Most people don’t understand how bad cat litter is for the environment.

Kitty litter…

… is not biodegradable

…is not recyclable

…is strip-mined from the earth like coal

…ends up in local landfills at a rate of 8 billion lbs. Per year

The CatGenie Is Too Expensive Right?

People at first balk at the cost of the CatGenie automatic but when you consider the total cost of owning it instead of a traditional or other automatic litter box the CatGenie actually is much cheaper to own.

I hope you can see the benefits of owning a CatGenie self-cleaning box:

  1. Approximately one hr. A year to maintain
  2. No nasty cat pee smell
  3. No germs or dust
  4. Cheaper than buying cat litter all the time
  5. 2 or 3 cats can share a CatGenie
  6. Environmentally friendly
