Space Toilet

Scientists have been working on creating toilets that track our health for a while, but design experts at myKotty are on their way to beat them in making such products available in the market – for cats. Space Kotty is a futuristic smart kitty litter box that can monitor your cat’s health (via its weight and bowel movement), eliminate bacteria and odours, re-order litter, and send alerts to your mobile phone. Plus no need to hide it – it is sleek enough to display in your living space.

Space Kotty is available for preorder from Kickstarter for March 2021 release, price starts from US$59 ($80).
