In most cases, cats will quickly adapt to a new litter box.
However, if your cat protests, here are some suggestions
that may help:
- To avoid unnecessarily frightening your cat, leave the
Litter-Robot switched off until you are sure
your cat is using it regularly. A cleaning cycle can be
run by turning the Litter-Robot on.
- Try enticing your cat into the globe with cat treats
or catnip.
- If your cat protests by urinating somewhere outside
the litter box, there is no reason to continue the 'cold
turkey' approach. Bring back the old litter box,
but leave the Litter-Robot out as well. By letting the
old litter box get full it may motivate your cat to migrate
to the cleaner litter in the Litter-Robot.
- You can also gradually move the old litter box closer
to the Litter-Robot helping your cat to get used to the
presence of the Litter-Robot.
- Cats love empty cardboard boxes. Try covering the Litter-Robot
with the cardboard box it came in. Cut an opening in the
side of the box to match the entry/exit opening in the
globe and cut a notch in the bottom for access to the
drawer. Leave the Litter-Robot's power cord unplugged
while covered with the box. You can run a supervised clean
cycle by simply plugging it in and waiting for it to finish
and then unplug it again.
