Let's be frank. Crystal, our youngest cat, has litter box issues. We've tried almost everything.
We took her to the vet for an exam.We put her on Prozac to ease her anxiety, but realized we're the type of parents who don't want our "kids" to be on drugs their entire lives.
We changed the litter to something more natural with no dust (which we loved but she hated).
We tried using a different style litter box.
We moved the box to different locations around the house.
We tried spending more time with her, but there's only so much you can do to spend quality time with a cat.
And recently we scheduled yet another appointment with the vet.
We're still waiting for our vet appointment but in the meantime we've found what we like to call a "miracle cat litter."
This weekend while we were at PetSmart examining a few more litter options, a lady approached us and said that the litter we were looking at (Dr. Elsey's Cat Attract) was wonderful. We asked her if she encountered some of the same problems we encountered and she said, "yes!" Like us, she had made numerous attempts to "fix" the problem but nothing seemed to work. Then her vet had recommended the Cat Attract litter and it worked! Based on her recommendation, we went home with the Cat Attract litter and a new litter box (one with a "sun roof"). The litter even came with a booklet that included some very good tips and coupons.
When we arrived home, we let the girls (Chloe and Crystal) explore their new litter box and sniff their new litter in the bag. After they seemed comfortable with the new box and interested in the new litter, we set the box in an appropriate location that did not make them feel "trapped in a corner" and before we knew it, both cats were fighting to use the box! Based on our cats' positive reactions to the litter, we purchased more several bags of the Cat Attract litter and another new box.
Testimonials:
Chloe: "It's so unnatural for a cat to not use the litter box. I just didn't understand it. We're supposed to be cleaner than the dog but Crystal was really making us look bad as a species. I'm so glad mom and dad finally found a litter Crystal will use."
Crystal: "I love the new litter, it doesn't smell funny and it feels great between my paws!"
Casper: "Yeah, the litter's okay, but I had more fun watching mom and dad yell at Crystal when she wouldn't use the box."
