How Petlibro is using AI to catch feline health issues early

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with Petlibro

We spend a significant amount of time optimizing our own health: tracking our sleep, monitoring our heart rates, and dialing in our nutrition. But when it comes to our pets, we’re usually left guessing. Cats, in particular, are notorious for hiding pain or illness until a condition becomes severe.

Petlibro is shifting that dynamic with the Luma Smart Litter Box. Since its quiet launch late last year, it has quickly become a staple in thousands of modern households. It moves the concept of a self-cleaning litter box past mere convenience, turning an unpleasant daily chore into a sophisticated system for early health awareness.

AI waste analysis and health tracking

For the data-driven pet owner, the Luma Smart Litter Box provides a level of insight that was previously impossible to get without a vet visit. It’s equipped with an AI waste analysis system that differentiates between pee and poop, and can even identify the consistency of the waste.

Every time your cat uses the box, the system logs their weight and tracks their bathroom behavior. If your cat skips the box for 24 hours, or if there’s a sudden shift in their routine, the app sends a smart alert to your phone. For senior cats or those with sensitive stomachs or kidney issues, this continuous cat health monitoring gives you a critical head start on potential medical problems.

Multi-cat recognition and safety

If you have more than one cat, tracking who did what is usually a guessing game. Luma solves this with a built-in 1080p HD camera and advanced AI that recognizes up to 10 different cats from any angle, even from behind. You get individualized logs and video records for each pet, so you always know exactly whose health you are looking at.

Safety is also a non-negotiable factor with autonomous tech. Since hitting the market in November 2025, Luma has maintained a 100% safe-use record. It features a wide-open, spacious design rather than a cramped globe, and uses triple-check sensors with an anti-pinch system to ensure your cat is completely clear before the cleaning cycle begins.

Autonomous cleaning and odor control

Beyond the health metrics, this is still a highly engineered piece of smart home hardware designed to keep your space clean. It automatically sweeps waste into a sealed drawer after each visit, holding up to seven days of waste for two cats.

To ensure your home doesn’t smell like a pet sanctuary, it utilizes an active odor-control system. A built-in fan pulls air through carbon filters, filtering out 97% of odors, with adjustable fan speeds controlled directly from the app. It’s a quiet, seamless integration into a well-kept home.

The bottom line

The Petlibro Luma represents a maturation in pet technology. It is a smart litter box for cats that respects the aesthetics of your home while acting as a daily preventive care tool for your pets. It replaces guesswork with hard data, offering peace of mind that your cat’s health is always being monitored.
