The new Open Air Litter Robot is purrfect for older cats. 6 to 10 years old and older! We have 6 cats, all seniors (at least 12 years old) and they love the Litter Robot with the stairs accessory! The steps make it super easy for them to get in and out of the Litter Robot and the machine also has a night light for the older cats which may not have as good of vision as they did when they were younger. The large opening makes it even easier for entry and exit. See these features and one of our kitties go in and out of the Litter Robot!

Some cat websites say: the first two years of a cat’s life equate to 24 human years and every year thereafter is equivalent to 4 human years. For example, a 16 year old cat would be equivalent to an 80 year old human.
Web MD for Pets say: They’ll have problems jumping into and out of the litter box. When cats get older, you don’t want a great big tall litter box that’s hard for them to get in and out of.

Decreased mobility and arthritis
Encourage your cat to get more exercise; make high places more accessible
Arthritis can occur in older cats, especially in cats who injured joints earlier in their life. As in people, arthritis in cats may only cause a slight stiffness, or it can become debilitating. Cats may have difficulty jumping onto favorite perches or going up and down stairs.
The following are great quotes from the websites right under the quotes. This is great to help your older cat as much as possible when arthritis starts to become an issue. Sometimes cats will start going to the bathroom outside the box simply because it is to painful for them to enter and exit the box. The Litter Robot Open Air with the ramp(steps) help prevent these problems! The light helps with vision problems as well!
Chondroitin and glucosamine can be beneficial to support healthy joints. Cats have a distinct sensitivity to many anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin and acetaminophen. Do NOT give your cat an anti-inflammatory or pain relief medication unless prescribed by your veterinarian; if prescribed, follow dosage instructions very carefully.
As with muscles in people (if you do not use them, you lose them), older cats tend to lose muscle mass and tone. This may make it more difficult for them to move, so they move less, etc., and a vicious cycle starts. Exercise for an older cat is important for the health of the muscles, as well as the heart, digestive system, and attitude. Older cats still have considerable curiosity, so empty boxes and bags turned on their sides, 'cat videos,' and more slow moving toys may entice them.
Ramps, and low-sided litter boxes and cat beds may help a cat who has decreased mobility or pain on movement. Be sure the litter box and food and water bowls are on the same level of the house as where the cat spends most of her time.
