Guests do not know what it is
I used to worry about guests noticing litter box odors. That is no longer a thing. They walk past it and they do not know what it is. The drawer is genuinely sealed and the charcoal filter does the rest.

MORE DETAIL
What the spec sheet does not say.
Built for fifteen years, not the showroom
The bearings are sealed. The motor is a 24 V brushless. The housing is high-impact ABS that will not yellow under sunlight. The pieces inside the unit are the ones that fail in a household over fifteen years — and they are the ones we picked first.
You will not find proprietary cartridges, locked accessories, or feature-gated firmware. The unit works the same on day 4,800 as it does on day one.
What is in the box
- The unit, fully assembled
- Power adapter, 100–240 V auto-switching
- Carbon filter, pre-installed
- One 13-gallon drawstring bag liner
- Quick-start card (one side, no jargon)
- A real US phone number on a real card
Litter, bags, and what to avoid
Use any clumping litter — clay, tofu, pine, walnut, crystal. Avoid non-clumping or silica beads that do not bind into clumps. Any 13-gallon drawstring trash bag will fit the drawer. No proprietary parts, no subscription, ever.
Shipping and delivery
Ships free in the continental US. Tracked. AK / HI / PR shipping is calculated at checkout — never billed afterward. Customs and duties for international orders are not yet supported; we ship US only.
Returns and warranty

QUESTIONS WE GET ASKED
The answers, in plain English.
How big is this unit and where does it fit?
58 cm wide, 66 cm deep, 75 cm tall. About the size of a small side cabinet. The drawer pulls forward, not up — so you do not need clearance above the unit.
Does it really work with any clumping litter?
Yes. Clay, tofu, pine, walnut, crystal — anything that clumps. We do not sell a proprietary one and we never will.
How loud is it?
24 dB at one meter. About the volume of a refrigerator humming in the next room. You will not hear it from the bedroom.
How long is the warranty really?
4 years on every BeCat. Parts and labor. No exceptions. No upsell on the warranty. The phone number is on the homepage.
What if my cat will not use it?
Keep the old box running alongside for two to three weeks during transition. The refusal rate drops below 2%. If the cat still will not use it after 90 days, prepaid return label, full refund.
Is it HSA / FSA eligible?
Often yes, with a Letter of Medical Necessity from your doctor. We send the template free once you order.
What about kittens or very small cats?
The safety sensors register reliably from 3.5 kg. Below that, we recommend a standard box until the kitten reaches weight.
How is this different from the other BeCat models?
The 01 is the flagship: largest drawer, app monitoring, multi-cat. The other eight boxes are real choices for households with different sizes, budgets, and accessibility needs. Every box ships with the same warranty.
WHAT IT DOES
What the BeCat Carbon Filter Refill (3-pack) does, every day.
Pull the drawer once a week
Six-minute delay. Twelve sensors. The drum rotates. The clump falls into the drawer below.
Watch your cat from anywhere. Or don't.
Weight, visits, drawer level — in the app. No subscription. The unit works without an account.
The smell stays in the drawer
Sealed drawer. Charcoal filter. Guests walk past it and do not know what it is.
Built for two to four cats
Tracks each cat by mass. The drawer holds a full week without filling. No fighting over the box.
AND ALSO
Four small things that add up over fifteen years.
Runs quieter than your fridge
Twenty-four decibels at one meter. The motor is a sealed brushless. You will not hear it from the next room.
Tucks into a hallway corner
Compact footprint. The drawer pulls forward, not up. No clearance needed above the unit.
Set it up in fifteen minutes
Plug it in. Fill the drum. The unit calibrates itself on the first cycle. The app pairs in under a minute.
Saves you forty hours a year
Six minutes a day, every day, gone. Use the time for something else. Or do not. Either is fine.
IN THE APP
The app does what it should. Nothing more.
Six screens. No login required for the unit to work. No subscription, ever.
Weight, per cat
Tracks each cat by mass on the platform. Flags weight loss before the vet sees it.
Visits, by the hour
How often, how long, by which cat. Patterns visible before they are problems.
Notifications you choose
Drawer is at 80%. A cat has not used the box in 24 hours. You set the rules.
Drawer level, live
Live capacity reading. Skip the open-and-check. The app already knows.
Per-cat profiles
Each cat gets a profile. Visits, weight, behavior — separated by animal.
History, kept locally
Six months of history on the unit itself. No cloud lock-in. You can export it.
HOW THE MECHANISM WORKS
Six minutes. One quiet rotation. The clump drops into a sealed drawer.
Close-up of the drum, the slot, the drawer. The whole cycle, with nothing edited out. Twelve safety sensors check the cat is clear before any motion starts.
WATCH IT WORK
She walks up. Steps in. The home stays quiet.
A real cat, in a real home, using a real BeCat. No staged demo, no studio set. Just the box and the cat.

Got my brain back
I have executive dysfunction. Scooping every day was the chore that broke me. Now I do not scoop. The cat has a clean box. I have my brain back for the rest of the day.
Kept my cats, kept my back
I am three years post-spinal fusion. My doctor told me to stop bending. I almost gave up the cats. This was the thing that let me keep them. Drawer pulls at hip height. No squatting, no scooping. The phone number works when I called for setup help.
Seven cats, three boxes, no smell
Seven cats, three boxes — one on each floor. They work. Very little odor. Easy to care for. Well worth the spend. The drawer-full notification means I am not checking every other day.
Bought it because the phone number works
I priced every box in this category for four months. I bought the BeCat because the warranty was on the homepage and the phone number worked when I called it. The box does what they said it does. The app is optional, which I appreciated.
Quiet enough to forget about
It runs at the volume of the refrigerator. I genuinely forget it is on. The transition from the old box took eight days — faster than I expected. Both cats use it now and neither has rejected it.
Big cat fits, drum has clearance
My Maine Coon is 10 kg. Was nervous about the weight range. He fits comfortably and the sensor reads him without trouble. The only reason this is not 5 stars is the drawer fills faster with a cat his size. Still good.
The chore is genuinely over
Before BeCat, my Sunday was scoop, bag, walk, repeat. After BeCat, I pull the drawer once on the weekend and that is the entire interaction. I underestimated how much mental weight that daily chore was carrying.
App is optional and that is the point
I bought it skeptical of another connected device in my house. The unit works without the app. I installed the app two weeks later out of curiosity. The data is local. No subscription. Refreshing.
Safer than I expected with kids around
Twelve sensors. Six-minute delay. My toddler tried to reach in once and the cycle reset immediately. Cycle has not started while anyone is near the box. Worth the price for the safety alone.
Worth it, but a learning curve on litter
Took me a week to find the right litter depth. Once dialed in, it has been flawless for four months. Customer support answered on the second ring when I called.
Looks like furniture, works like a tool
The unit reads as a side cabinet in our hallway. Guests do not ask. We have had it for nine months and it has not skipped a cycle. Recommended to two friends already.
WHAT OWNERS ASK
Questions, answered by a human.
6 answered. 0 pending.
Q.
Will this work with my Maine Coon?
A.
The cat weight range goes to 11 kg, which covers most Maine Coons. If your cat is over that, look at the BeCat 09 XL.
Q.
Can I use it without the app?
A.
Yes. The unit works fully without an account, login, or internet connection. The app is opt-in and exists because owners asked for it.
Q.
How much electricity does it draw?
A.
Roughly 8 kWh per year for a typical two-cat household. About $1 per year on a US electricity rate. The motor only runs during the cycle, which is about 4 minutes per use.
Q.
Does the drawer really fit a regular trash bag?
A.
Yes. Any 13-gallon drawstring trash bag fits. The kind you already use for the kitchen. We do not sell a proprietary cartridge and we never will.
Q.
What happens if the power goes out?
A.
The unit pauses safely. When power returns, it resumes from its last state. Litter inside the drum stays clean. The safety sensors retain calibration.
Q.
Can I move it between rooms without recalibrating?
A.
Yes. Move it to the new spot, plug it in. The sensors recalibrate on the next cycle. You do not need to reset anything in the app.
