Self-Cleaning Litter Boxes That Take Tofu Litter

Plenty of automatic boxes are built around clay clumping litter and jam, or void the warranty, on anything else; Whisker, for one, lists plant-based litters as incompatible. The 10 below name tofu litter as compatible, most with a particle-size limit (PETKIT's is 12 mm long and 3 mm across), and none needs a tray or cartridge from its maker.

How this list is ordered: Every box whose maker lists tofu litter as compatible and requires no proprietary consumable, ordered by price. 10 of the catalog’s boxes qualify.
