What's the most extravagant thing you've bought for your pet, and do you regret it? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Inspired by watching my cat lay on her 6' (2 m) tall cat tower and sleep like a baby. Zero regrets, even if it makes us look like insane cat people for having a giant cat tower right in our living room. She lives here, she gets furniture too!

A self-cleaning litterbox. Absolutely worth it.

Which one specifically?

[–] iamdisillusioned 11 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I got the litter robot. I've had it 9 months. I have a cat that loves to dig and the rubber liner doesn't look like it's going to hold up for more than 2 years because she scratches the same spot relentlessly, but I still love it. I'd buy a new one every other year if I needed to.

I have one too and it's been great. They sell replacement parts including the rubber liner if you need one soon: https://www.litter-robot.com/litter-robot-4-globe-liner.html

Awesome, thanks for sharing! I ordered my free replacement. Glad I got the 3 year warranty.

Same here. It’s a very painfully expensive purchase but now that we’ve had one, I’d pull that trigger again in a heartbeat if something happened to this one. I wish it was easier to deep clean but otherwise it is fantastic. We have three cats and empty the bin probably twice a week, still waaaay better than scooping. And the really prissy cat likes her clean litter.
