6 pet deals you don't want to miss this Memorial Day weekend, including robot litter boxes

3 weeks ago 18

Last fall, we added a new member to our family: a one-year-old black cat named Gilligan. And while I've had my orange tabby, Norbert, for eight years, there have been significant adjustments to making the transition from one cat to two (to say the least).

I need all the help I can get during this period of two cats getting used to each other and learning how to coexist and share resources, so I have a list of pet tech items I plan to purchase during the Memorial Day long weekend. Here are the best Memorial Day pet tech sales I've found so far.

For long weekends away (like Memorial Day), we don't like to leave our cats home alone for more than two nights, but this automatic wet food feeder will allow them to still get their wet food dinner even when we aren't there to physically give it to them.

Not only can you set up a feeding schedule in the app, you can even make sure your pet ate its food thanks to the Anti-Pinch infrared lid sensor, which tracks how long your pet was eating at the device, ensuring it doesn't close on your furry friend mid-feed. You can also customize how long the food compartment stays open (up to 30 minutes) if your pet is a slow eater or a grazer.

I already have a Whisker Litter-Robot 5 Pro, but now every cat parent can save on one during Memorial Day. It has significantly changed my life in that I no longer scoop poop daily, and I can keep an eye on my cats' health with the app, which tells me how often they use the litter box, if they went #1 or #2, and which cat went based on their weights. 

Review: This $900 litter box may be almost too high-tech for me

This bundle offers you $103 off the device, along with a litter mat, waste drawer liners, litter, an OdorTrap to control odors, and a three-year extended warranty on the device.

If you don't want to spend six figures on your cat's litter box, my coworker tested this option from Oneisall that's just $200 right now. 

Review: Finally, a smart litter box that doesn't cost an arm and a paw

The Oneisall Ease S1 sifts and sorts clean litter from waste, either on manual command or automatically, five minutes after a cat uses the box. It's quiet (less than 45 dB), quick, and, most importantly, keeps the box clean.

I always trusted my one cat not to get into trouble when we're away from home, but now with a kitten, I know there will be mischief. This 360-degree camera features a 1080p live view and 4x zoom, allowing me to see what the cats are up to while we're away. 

Also: Everything you need for a smart pet setup

The treat-dispensing feature is a bonus, allowing them to be rewarded for good behavior. There is also two-way audio and intelligent alerts that can be sent to an accompanying app. 

You will need to purchase the $7/month subscription to access the alert features.

Having an air purifier in your home is an absolute must -- especially if you have more than one pet. This Blueair air purifier has the power to suck up pet hair and dander in our bedroom, while also acting as a cat bed.

Blueair says this air purifier removes 99.99% of airborne particles, including viruses and bacteria, dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold. Aside from the usual air purifier specs, the PetAir Pro also features Blueair's FurLock Technology, which captures pet hair at an impressive rate.

Unfortunately, we've found that our new kitten loves food a little too much, and is stealing from his brother. To help combat this, I'll be trying out an automatic feeder that comes with an RFID collar tag sensor, so that only the cat wearing the tag can unlock the food bowl to eat.

The feeder connects to an app that allows you to see who ate what, when, and how much, and you can schedule meals right from your phone.
