Heritage & History
Whisker (formerly AutoPets) was founded around 2000 in Michigan with a singular product vision: create a fully automatic self-cleaning litter box that actually worked reliably. The Litter-Robot emerged from that effort — a globe-shaped litter box that uses a patented rotation cycle to separate waste from clean litter automatically, depositing clumps into a sealed drawer below.
The Litter-Robot found its initial audience among cat owners willing to invest in a premium solution to one of pet ownership's most tedious chores. Word of mouth drove growth as satisfied customers shared the product with friends and family — and the brand built a passionate following that sustained it through years of development before broader commercial success arrived.
Made in Auburn Hills, Michigan
Whisker designs and manufactures the Litter-Robot at its facility in Auburn Hills, Michigan — an appropriate home for a precision-engineered product in a region famous for advanced manufacturing. The Auburn Hills operation assembles each Litter-Robot from components that include the rotation mechanism, sensors, control board, and outer globe structure.
The company has continued to innovate, adding Wi-Fi connectivity, app monitoring, and health tracking features to newer Litter-Robot generations — all engineered in Michigan. Whisker's commitment to domestic manufacturing means every Litter-Robot sold in America is made in America, with quality control handled firsthand by the people who designed it.
