Common questions
What does the AI camera do?
It uses cat facial recognition to track each cat's visits separately and flag abnormal toileting, which can be an early health warning in multi-cat homes where you cannot otherwise tell whose waste is whose.
Is it worth more than the Pura Max 2?
Only if the AI camera and per-cat health monitoring matter to you. Cleaning and odour control are similar; the camera and tracking are what you pay extra for.
Is the opening big enough for large cats?
Yes, the extra-large 210-degree opening and big capacity suit large breeds and multi-cat households well.
