About
Who they are.
CATLINK designs pet tech for households managing more than one cat, with self-cleaning litter boxes at the center of its lineup alongside the Automatic Cat Feeder and Scooper Luxury lines. Products connect to a companion app that logs litter box usage, giving owners a way to watch for changes in individual cats' habits even when several animals share the same equipment.
Across its catalog the company favors sealed, sensor-driven mechanisms built to run unattended in multi-cat settings, with an emphasis on safety features that prevent jams or accidental injury during cleaning cycles. Its range spans compact and budget-oriented models as well as premium versions with added tracking and capacity, positioning CATLINK within the broader pet tech segment of cat care products.
The verdict
Catlink's automatic litter box technology earns consistent praise from major publications for effectiveness, though cat adoption rates vary and some owners report mixed results in real-world use. The brand maintains a solid standing among pet tech specialists while facing the practical challenge of inconsistent feline acceptance.
