Recently, the cat at home has been refusing to go to the toilet. After some inquiries, it was found that the cat was not used to it because it was a problem caused by the cat's litter being replaced with the new model. What should I do?
First of all, we need to understand the habits and needs of cats. Cats are very picky animals and they like clean and hygienic cat litter with fine sand texture. If they are not used to new cat litter, it is easy to not use the toilet. Therefore, we must provide a cat with a litter that suits it.
Secondly, we need to gradually transition to new cat litter. We cannot change the cat litter suddenly, but should add new cat litter bit by bit to the old cat litter, gradually increasing the proportion of new cat litter until the old cat litter is completely replaced. This will allow the cat to gradually adapt to the new cat litter and reduce discomfort with them.
Third, consider adding a familiar smell to the cat litter. If we add some familiar scents to the new cat litter, such as the smell of cat food or cat grass, it can help the cat adapt to the new cat litter. This way, the cat will feel more comfortable and safe, making it easier to use the toilet.
Finally, keep the cat litter clean and dry. Cats especially hate dirty cat litter boxes. If the cat litter is not dealt with in time, it will become very offensive in the eyes of cats. Therefore, we should change the cat litter regularly and ensure that the cat litter box is clean and dry so that the cat toilet experience is more comfortable and pleasant.
In short, if we find that cats don't like new cat litter, we should not simply blame them for being disobedient. Instead, we should take into account the needs of our cats and take steps such as gradual transitions, adding familiar scents and keeping clean to help them adapt to the new cat litter. In this way, our cats can enjoy the fun of going to the toilet in a warm and comfortable environment.
