In September of 2024, One Man Five Cats released a YouTube video addressing a dangerous automatic cat litter box that had flooded online marketplaces such as Amazon and AliExpress. This was brought to his attention by a TikTok video in July 2024 from a user whose cat was killed by one of these products. In the YouTube video, he tests the product in question and demonstrates the design flaws that make it so dangerous. He goes on to describe several real-life cases of cats being killed or harmed by these machines, as well as negative product reviews being changed to positive, and product listings disappearing shortly after public backlash.
