Hi ... I just purchased the Clevercat and have followed the directions about putting it right next to the current box my Kitty uses. Right now she's only using the old one - hasn't used the Clevercat. I'm thinking to just remove the old one - she's...

Hi. I only left the old box there for a day. I took it away and watched my cats and they used it right away. Try using some litter from the old box into the new one. Don't worry she will use it. Put it in the same spot as the old one.

Sounds like you've put in a lot of effort. We've always had a house full of cats. One got so old he couldn't remember where the box was - thus soaked carpet, hold-down framing and underlying foam in - of all places - the formal dining room, which he eventually THOUGHT was the box. Didn't have the heart to put him down after 15 years. Presently, we have 5 in the house. I definitely "get it". Been there, done that, already have the T shirt AND the tattoo! Best to you!

oh no, my dear, that would NOT be a good idea....first of all it would be so very messy and second I doubt that it would help with that particular problem...you best stick to the products that are made specifically for the kitty box....

I am fairly certain the placement of the cat opening is not interchangeable. However, I am currently checking with the manufacturer to confirm this information. I will contact you back as soon as more information is received.

Well every cat is different, but I'd say the transition should be gradual. Definitely pour some of his old litter with some feces in there so he can learn to associate the smell with bathroom. Keeping his old box out for a bit of time is a good idea too, at least until you see that he willingly (and often) uses the Clevercat box.

You can use either clumping or non- clumping. I was very disappointed in the box; it's made cheap. The fasteners came loose and spilled the litter. I stopped using it after a couple of days. As a new cat owner, I have been disappointed in the choice of available litter boxes. None of them do anything. What I hate most is having to get down on my knees to service them. Cats are jumpers so there is no reason a litter box has to be so low. I use clumping litter and have to take a putty knife to scrape it off the sides. I have been so disappointed in the available boxes that I have spent the last three months inventing a Litter Console that takes care of most of the problems we all hate. Mine is 90% finished; you push a few levers, and it does the cleaning. Anyone who hates servicing a dirty litter box will love it. I expect to have to mine finished in the next few weeks. It is not made of plastic and looks like a piece of furniture. If you want to check back with me, I will let you know when it is ready. My name is Frank, and my email address is frankrunnels@outlook.com Hope I have been helpful, Frank

I didn't have a problem, but my cats were used to sharing even though I had multiple boxes. Hope this works for you. After two years my Robot malfunctioned and despite costly out-of-warranty repairs, it never worked right again. I finally gave up.

Hi! The litter box isn't as shape as it looks. Cats will kick litter out of almost any box, but my cats didn't kick much litter out of this one. It also depends how much litter you put in it. I just used a little less. Hope this answers your question.

Hmm, I really don't know what to tell you because all cats are different I guess. My cat loved the thing before I had it put together. I know she partly loves being high up so she can look out my big picture window and watch the squirrels and birds! Maybe put it by a window, or even try catnip. I have friends who put catnip on their cat tree's and it seems to work. I'm sorry to hear your cats are not at excited about this tree as mine is!

I think it's supposed to be the scent - what is in it I don't know. My cat liked the scent, but she didn't gravitate to the kitty box the way the other commenters described. I think the litter was coarser than she likes. She'll reluctantly use the kitty pan when she's unable to get outside, but otherwise she's not interested. Based on the other comments, I think it must be my picky cat rather than any defect in the litter.

That is exactly what I have done, started out with all Cat Attract and now just using about 33% of the box with it. Using regular NON_SCENTED litter to mix in. Seems the scented ones confuse the issue. This has been wonderful for us training a feral cat. She has 100% accuracy now :)

I put the cat in the box a couple of times (she did NOT want to go in there head first, but I didn't let her vote). Then I got rid of the other box. The new one is in my room where I can supervise the dogs better, and Hebe never even went looking for the old box.

Hello, I have the same cat litter box and it is absolutely horrible! When the cat does use the litter box then everything gets caught up in the wire rake. Then it falls into the litter and gets pushed back and forth and never goes where it is suppose to. It is a huge mess to have to clean up. Much worse then a regular litter box. I have sent mine back and I did not clean the thing because I wanted them to see just how awful this thing was! The poop went everywhere! Send yours back because if your cat does finally use it then you will have the same kind of mess to deal with! Not to mention the odor!

I have 2 cats...if they share one box now there should be no problems. I got the cat box on Amazon..it is blue and is just the right size...however I am going to poly and caulk the inside of the furniture to be on the safe side...cause it is not waterproof.

Hi Brenda, sometimes, the boxes last longer if you clean often. I have three cats, four boxes, they tend to only use two downstairs. These are worth a try. I like them because I have clever cat boxes (expensive), these protect the box. Might get liners if cheaper and switch off. Still would give them a try. Also, might depend on type of litter and what's going on with cats stool. Let me know if you have further ? Ps clever cat is only good for small cat. I found my 8 month Big Boy (12" tail), gets poop on tail and elsewhere, other two still like bigger box. If you have small cat only would recommend clever cat box.

I got this new litter box 2 months ago and haven't had any problems with it. I was reading a lot of reviews of the cat litter you mentioned earlier though, and I suspect that may be the cause of your cat's problem. It is recommended that when switching cat litters you do it gradually, starting with a mix of 1/3 World's Best and 2/3 your regular cat litter, and from there up the ratio of World's Best over a period of a few weeks. I'd suggest you try emptying out the new litter and mixing it as the manufacturer outlines--see if that solves the issue. Good luck.
