Even the most ardent cat people will agree that cleaning the litter box isn’t cute. It’s messy, smelly and demands complete wrist control or else you’ll end up with a breadcrumb trail of litter from the box to the trash can. Until now.
An ingenious type of integrated cat litter scoop recently caught our attention on TikTok — and everyone else’s, too. The #integratedshovel hashtag currently boasts over 9.2 million views on the video-sharing platform. This type of perforated scooper deposits litter directly into an attached receptacle lined with a small disposable bag. Soluble Pva Film
Across the #catlitterscooper page, which has a whopping 492.4 million views, it’s clear that two varieties of these shovels rein supreme: a truly integrated one that stores rolls of waste bags in the bottom of the scooper, and a larger-capacity rectangular Neater Scooper with a detachable bag pack that attaches to your litter box.
One reviewer said using an integrated scoop was easier and quicker than other devices she had tried, and lighter to hold.
“The Neater Scooper is lightweight and the little bags are easy to handle ... which is exactly what I wanted because of my arthritic hands,” BrendaB commented on Amazon. “My cat is a pretty big boy but these little bags are just the right size for daily scooping.”
Another reviewer noted this type of scoop works particularly well with non-clumping crystal litter.
“The crystals don’t stick to the scooper, and only the solid waste needs to be removed while the urine is absorbed by the crystals,” Mrs. Mildew wrote.
To help you step up your litter box game, here are the two all-in-one scoopers you’ll use every day.
