California-based pet tech start-up Siipet has launched an AI-powered health monitor for cat litter box behaviour.

Called LitterLens and costing $130, it lets cat owners track their pets’ toilet frequency, duration and overall habits, helping them detect early health changes.

“Changes in litter box habits are often among the first signs of urinary or digestive issues, yet they can easily go unnoticed, especially in multi-cat homes,” said Brian Fu, founder of Siipet. “With LitterLens, we make those hidden signals visible through accessible, AI-powered insights, helping cat parents take action early and protect their cats’ well-being.”

LitterLens uses AI-driven analysis to monitor every litter box visit with precision, tracking frequency, duration and stool conditions in real time. The CatSense+ detection system reduces false alerts by accurately identifying each entry, ensuring users receive only relevant health insights. With instant in-app notifications, cat owners can act early to address potential urinary or digestive issues before they become serious.

Powered by Pet ID+ technology, LitterLens distinguishes between multiple cats in a household through visual recognition, allowing each pet’s data to be tracked and analysed individually. This makes health monitoring more reliable for multi-cat families, where subtle changes are often difficult to notice.

Through its PoopSnap function, LitterLens can automatically capture clear, time-stamped photos of irregular stools to support veterinary consultations and long-term health tracking. Data are stored securely in the Siipet app, where owners can review each cat’s trends and share updates with family members or veterinarians. Privacy mode allows users to disable the camera at any time, while CatSense+ activates recording only when necessary.

LitterLens is also built for convenience and durability, with a universal mounting system that fits most litter boxes and an IP65 water-resistant design for easy cleaning. The device provides HD live video with a built-in night light, runs on both wired and wireless power, and offers up to one month of battery life per charge.

As an innovator in AI-driven pet health management, Siipet (www.siipet.com) aims to create tools that help pet owners understand their pets better, from tracking daily habits to spotting early signs of health issues.
