~*~*~BAD KITTY TO GOOD KITTY ~ TIPS ON WHAT WORKED FOR MY CAT~*~*~
I've had my cat(named Kitty) for 10 years so when he started using our house as a litter box I was pretty upset. I changed his litter all the time, re-arranged the furniture and he just kept peeing on everything: our couch, our dogs bed, his own bed, rugs, towels, xmas tree skirt. No item was in the same spot, he just wasn't peeing in his box although he was pooping in his box. He has had many urinary tract infections in the past so I know what to look for and he didn't have one. Since I have 15 month old twin daughters and refuse to let them grow up in a "cat pee" house we decided to take Kitty to our local shelter. After crying my eyes out all night, the next day I did ONE more search to try to fix his problem. On one of the websites someone mentioned using Precious Cat Ultra Litter Attractant so I immediatly went to Amazon to check out reviews. I told my husband that I wanted to order the product and give that a try before we took him to the pound.
So here is EXACTLY what we did that fixed our cats problem
1st-we ordered this Cat Attractant
2nd-took him to the vet. He did not have a UTI or any other problems that would cause him to pee outside his box. My vet said to switch from our covered litter box to an open litter box because cats don't like being in an enclosed box. We just took the top off of the litter box and he said to empty all of the litter and clean the litter box with vinegar/water. He said that the idea situation would be to use dirt from outside because a cat would love it but there is no way to clean that so to get a natural type of litter. He said to clean the litter box everyday if we could, or every other day. Also to buy another litter box so we had 2.
3rd-the Cat Attractant showed up and we had cleaned his box with the litter and put his old litter back in since we hadn't been to the store. I actually only sprinkled a little bit of this on top of his litter...I did NOT use anywhere near the amount the container says to use. I literally used about 1/4 cup or less-sprinkled on TOP of his litter. I kept one of his litter boxes where it had been and put another litter box in a new location. Within 10 minutes my cat was in the new location, sniffing and then scratching around the litter and he PEE'd in the box!
4th-we got him some natural cat litterArm & Hammer Essentials Natural Clumping Litter, 10.5-Pounds it is really fine & natural clumping and has a nice smell. My cat really seemed to love that. And I've been scooping his box everynight or every other night. He's not pee'd outside of his litter box since.
I definately think the Cat Attract helped to get him to his litter box and that the other things helped him to keep going to his litter box. I'm so Thankful that I decided to try this and did the other things because I love my Kitty.
I really recommend the Arm & Hammer Natural litter as well. It is the best clumping litter I have ever used and my cat LOVES it. It also never smells like pee.
