For the first 8.5 years of my cat's life, she's only ever known an open litter box (tray/tub type). Then at 8.5 years old, when we introduced her to the swing door type (with the smell filter on top), she did well accepting that also. Then at approximately 9 years of age, she was introduced for the first time to that clevercat box with the circular opening at the top and she's done superbly on accepting it. We just put it in the same place, fill it with the same litter (though we are switching over to another type now) and then take her to it the first time to let her know it's hers and leave her to exploring it on her own. She's good about it when we tested and switched litter types after having been on the same kind for 8.5 years also. It helps that she's a curious little kitty that if that box didn't belong to her, she would have explored it on her own against our wishes anyway.  |
You are so lucky. Whenever I put something in place of kitty's open litter box. She will look at it and then turn around and pee on the floor!!!
