OSAKA -- Cat parents know smelly litter boxes might encourage their feline companions to do business elsewhere, but constantly scooping the sandboxes is a demanding task. Now an all-in-one station from Japanese homebuilder Daiwa House Industry solves this problem and offers a less stressful way to keep cat and home clean as well.

The lower part of the multipurpose unit is a litter tray with a sensor, which detects when a cat has left and automatically starts to wash it off. A fan-powered deodorizing feature uses photocatalyst technology as well.
