7 of our favorite deals from Amazon's 48-hour Pet Day sale
Amazon's Pet Day event has arrived, making it a great time to score deals on some of our favorite pet gadgets. From self-cleaning litter boxes to treat-tossing cameras and automatic feeders, these deals are especially useful if you're heading out of town this summer. Even if you're staying close to home, though, there's something for everyone, whether you want to check in on your pet while you're at work or cut down on chores. Below, we've compiled our favorite Amazon Pet Day deals, many of which have helped make life easier for many of us at The Verge. Hopefully, they'll make things simpler for you, too. If you're tired of scooping cat litter every day, the Litter-Robot 4 is here to help. Thanks to an on-page coupon, it's currently on sale at Amazon bundled with a handful of accessories — including a ramp, a fence, waste drawer liners, a LitterTrap Mat, and an OdorTrap Holder with OdorTrap Packs — for a cool $809 ($90 off), which is a new low price. The self-cleaning litter box automatically tidies up after each use, preventing unwanted smells from lingering (it even alerts you when the waste drawer needs to be emptied). Operation is also relatively quiet, and it features a compact, space-saving design that won't dominate your living space. The best part? Your cat might love watching it cycle almost as much as they enjoy staring at the washing machine. The Furbo 360° Dog or Cat Camera — which lets you check in on your pet no matter where you are — is on sale for $47 ($52 off) at Amazon, which is just $2 shy of its best price to date. The Furbo features a 1080p camera with full 360-degree rotation, allowing you to check in on your pets from every angle. You can talk to them, toss treats, and even get AI-powered alerts for barking, crying, or emergencies like intruders or smoke. It can also help you monitor your pet's well-being by warning you of potential health or behavioral issues. Keep in mind that you'll need a Furbo Nanny subscription to use the camera, which starts at $5.38 a month when you sign up for a two-year subscription. The subscription lets you take advantage of all the aforementioned smart alerts for things like barking, crying, and intruders, along with cloud-based video history and daily event summaries. However, if you don't need some of those more advanced perks, Amazon is also currently selling a subscription-less model for cats and dogs for $135 ($75 off). If you're looking for an easy-to-use automatic feeder, the 7-liter WOpet Automatic Dog Feeder is down to an all-time low of $59.99 ($20 off) at Amazon right now. Despite the name, it's designed for both cats and dogs and can dispense dry food up to five times a day in set portions, which is perfect for keeping your pets fed while away. And if your pet is a bit on the chonkier side, it's also great for managing portions. It's easy to use, too; this particular model doesn't have an app or Wi-Fi, so you just need to press a few buttons to schedule. WOpet Automatic Dog Feeder $8025% off If you've got a furry friend who sheds everywhere, Amazon is selling the ChomChom roller for $19.99 when you apply the on-page coupon for 20 percent off. That's not the lowest price we've seen — the handy gadget dropped to around $12 or $13 during Black Friday — but it's still one the better prices we've seen in recent months. The reusable pet hair remover does an impressive job of picking up fur from couches, beds, carpets, and even clothes without needing sticky tape or refills. Needless to say, it's an easy-to-use tool for quick cleanups, which is why so many of us at The Verge love it. Other great Pet Day deals You can buy a bundle containing a Blink Video Doorbell, a Blink Outdoor 4 security camera, and a Sync Module 2 for $79.98 ($80 off) at Amazon, which is the best price we've seen on the bundle so far this year. Both the Blink Outdoor 4 and the 1080p Blink Video Doorbell deliver all the essentials, like motion detection, night vision, and two-way audio. The Outdoor 4 also introduces person detection and a wider field of view, which are two upgrades over its predecessor. The Sync Module 2, meanwhile, allows for free local storage and on-demand live views, though a subscription is still required for certain features. Amazon's Smart Air Quality Monitor is on sale for $54.99 ($14 off) at Amazon, which is $10 shy of its all-time low. The compact gadget alerts you when air quality is poor via voice alerts or the mobile app. It can also automatically activate Alexa-enabled devices like smart thermostats and air purifiers via Alexa Hunches, and you can set up Routines to trigger them under specific conditions. Read our review. The Ring Indoor Cam is on sale with a Ring Pet Tag for $54.99 ($15 off) at Amazon. The wired 1080p camera offers color night vision, motion-activated recording, and two-way audio, along with a physical privacy cover for disabling audio and video recording. Ring's Pet Tag, meanwhile, features a QR code linked to an app on your phone. If your pet gets lost, someone can scan the code from their collar, which will display a pet profile containing important details such as your contact information, your pet's medications, and more.

I tried the cat Litter-Robot 4 to see if it's really a 'game-changer' for managing smelly litter
I adore having a cat. Theo is my best friend in the entire world - he's fluffy, he screams in my ear to wake me up, plus every morning and night, he sits on my chest and purrs in bed. I also scream at people to eat - we're soul mates. But with great love must also come great responsibility and that means scooping up poo. And vacuum cleaning the ten tonnes of litter he has kicked all over my flat. And cleaning out the clumped-together litter... anyone who has owned a cat knows the pain of this and the stench. The essence of modern life is finding solutions to these kinds of problems. Enter Whisker's Litter-Robot 4 (£749), a game-changer in the world of cat litter that provides fresh litter for your cat while trapping the odour. This automatic cat litter machine promises to put an end to the scooping ordeal forever, thanks to its self-cleaning feature. For those looking for more affordable options, the PetSafe ScoopFree Covered Self-Cleaning Litter Box from Amazon for £179.99 could be a viable alternative, reports My London. Although it claims to remove odours, it has a lower user-rating at 3.9 out of 5,448 ratings. Another option is the Yaheetech Decorative Litter Box Enclosure for £49.99 from B&Q. While it isn't automatic and doesn't offer the odour-trap feature, it serves as a decent low-tech solution. I decided to give Whisker's Litter-Robot 4 a whirl, hoping it would put an end to my daily routine of vacuuming litter off the floor. Here are my thoughts: Litter-Robot 4: The Setup With the promised features, I expected I'd need a Master's Degree to set it up. Thankfully, it was pretty straightforward. On the scale of 'my mum could do it without getting me round' to 'Einstein would struggle with this', it definitely falls on the 'she would need a very brief WhatsApp conversation to sort it out'. The Litter-Robot 4 arrives fully assembled in a large box. All that's required is to remove the tape, decide if you want the litter guard and plug it in. It's robust but quite sizeable, so ensure you have ample space for it. It's roughly the same width as a standard litter tray (56cm), but twice as tall (75cm) and weighs 10.4kg without litter. There's a clear line indicating where to fill the litter - fine, non-clumping litter works best. To help your cat adjust, I'd suggest using the same litter in your old litter box for a week before making the switch. Once the Litter Robot is assembled, simply follow the instructions in the booklet to download the app. The App and Functionality This is where the excitement kicks in. After a simple setup process, you can control the entire Litter-Robot 4 via the app. Just bear in mind that it defaults to American dates and measurements, which can be a bit annoying. But once you've got past that, you're good to go. The app provides information on how full the litter is, the amount of waste present and even allows you to set a cleaning cycle from your phone. The real game-changer is that the app lets you monitor your cat's health. While it can't replace a vet visit when something seems off, getting an early warning that something could be wrong really helps put your mind at ease. During my fortnight with the Litter-Robot 4, I had no issues whatsoever with the app. It performed as expected and even provided a nearly completely accurate reading of his weight. Once the Litter-Robot was set up functionally, the next hurdle was getting your cats to adjust. Theo, being a scaredy cat and also 14 years old, posed a particular challenge. Thankfully, Whisker provides a useful guide on how to acclimate your kitty to their new large toilet. Following the guide, I left the litter next to his usual one for a week without cleaning the old one. Then, after about a week, I removed the old one and held my breath. Fortunately, we didn't have any accidents on the floor. Would I recommend the Litter-Robot 4? Absolutely. One thing to keep in mind: it is an investment. What you're paying for is daily convenience. If you have multiple cats, they can all use the same one too, which makes the cost more manageable overall. However, taking into account the top-quality functionality alone, the lack of odour and the convenience of not having to scoop poo every day, I'm pleased to say it justifies its price tag.

Tiny plot in London big enough for a garage goes on the market for £1
A tiny plot of land in West London that's big enough for a small garage or storage unit has gone up for sale for just £1, and it's been described as a "super urban investment opportunity" by Rightmove A plot of land that is suitable for a one-bedroom 'modular dwelling' in London has hit the market for just £1. The spot is going up for auction tomorrow, and is located in the glamorous borough of Ealing in West London. While its exact size has not been specified in its listing, the plot has been described as suitable for a garage, storage or modular development. It even comes with plans for a potential residence should you be willing to take on the challenge of building yourself a tiny home in the capital. However, this could be a lucrative opportunity for the right buyer, as the average rent in the area is now a staggering £2,033 a month. READ MORE: 'I tried Whisker's Litter-Robot 4 to see if it could end the daily cat litter nightmare for good' The land's Rightmove description reads: 'A superb urban investment opportunity offering a potential for a variety of uses (STPP), including a 1 bedroom modular dwelling, lock up/garage or other uses which could be considered by the new owner. 'Bidders are encouraged to make their own inquiries with regard to any possible development potential in respect of planning and any other consents or rights over the land. 'There is an artist's impression of how a development on this site could look subject to planning application being approved by relevant local authority.' The successful bidder, however, will have to shell out slightly more than £1, even if they manage to buy the land for less than the price of a chocolate bar. They must also pay a 5% minimum deposit of £5,000 and an additional buyer's fee of 4.8% of the purchase price, which is a minimum of £6,000. The land would therefore cost a minimum of £11,001, but all things considered, this is still a steal - and equates to less than six months of the average rent in the area. Similar properties quite often go up for sale for just £1 - including a pair of modest-sized flats in Newcastle-upon-Tyne last year. But, the flats required a lot of work, and were essentially ransacked on the inside, after the previous owner left their belongings in a sorry state. The estate agent's preview video showed a TV and printer left slumped next to the kitchen oven, and the floor was left littered with cardboard packaging. The living room contains piles of broken furniture and rubbish – with no carpet visible whatsoever thanks to the mess. A framed picture of Jesus sits on the floor of the room, which has also been littered with vinyl records, CDs and board game boxes. Damaged brickwork surrounds wooden window frames which require more than a lick of paint. Other windows have been boarded up while another is covered by a ruined curtain. Elsewhere, a bedroom looks largely untouched, filled with piles of VHS tapes and an old CRT TV. The listing concludes with a utility room with broken cupboards and more rubbish including an open can of beer. The video was viewed more than 1,000 times, and saw a handful of people respond to its caption of, "Would you buy this property for £1?" – all of whom said they would. However, while the starting price at auction may be low, the house was always likely to sell for more.
