Researched and edited by Sifted Paws Editorial TeamResearch-based review; no hands-on testing is claimed unless specifically stated.
What “research-based” means
Sifted Paws uses official manufacturer pages, current manuals, exact Amazon destinations and clearly labeled archived documents. We distinguish manufacturer claims from independent observations and do not imply hands-on testing that did not occur.
Evaluation categories
- Cat fit: enclosure style, opening, entry height, stated weight range and posture.
- Safety documentation: sensor descriptions, minimum weight, interruption behavior and manual quality.
- Ownership friction: litter compatibility, cleaning access, consumables, app dependence and footprint.
- Support confidence: warranty visibility, parts, manuals and support channels.
- Value fit: whether the feature set makes sense for the intended buyer, without hardcoding a changing price.
What we do not do
We do not copy Amazon customer ratings, invent sales counts, present seller claims as independent measurements, or use a numerical score without showing the rubric.
Updates and corrections
