I feel like the litterbox of the future baking a shit lasagna once every two weeks is a pretty damned high failure rate. Aside from the obvious gross-out factor (I also assume you have to clean it manually after this happens?) I'd be worried that today it's the cat's poop, but tomorrow it'll cook the cat.

Or worse, be worried that it'll set fire to the tinsel the cat ate and managed to poop out without manual intervention.

If your pet eats something it shouldn't the absolute last thing you want is "manual intervention". Have you ever seen how potters cut lumps of doughy clay? They do it with wire. If you pull you can do the same to your pets intestines.

I considered that as well, but it doesn't look like it closes up or gets particularly hot, I think it just warms up sufficiently to aid drying.
