Possible Help for Anyone with Cats and Litterbox Problems
I've had problems with my cats not using the litterbox properly for about 5 years now. After I moved to Atlanta, they weren't very good about using the litterbox. Prior to that, they were perfect, even though (as I later found out) I was doing everything wrong according to the experts - one box for five cats, next to their food... I moved frequently, and the household was almost always chaotic... things like that. I did keep the litter clean, but that's apparently all I did right. Anyway, I moved down here and all hell broke loose as far as litterbox usage goes. As a result, I consulted vets, behaviorists, communicators, did research, read... in short, I tried EVERYTHING, and NOTHING worked. My cats, it would seem, are an anomoly in the feline kingdom.
So, when shopping for more litterboxes to accommodate household re-arranging, I happened, quite by chance, on Cat Attract cat litter. Now, one the things I've tried in the past was changing litter brands, and I'm a HUGE fan of The World's Best Cat Litter. I've tried pretty much all the different brands of litter, scoopable and not. But, on a whim, I bought some anyway, enough for the two new litterboxes. I figured it couldn't hurt, and if it helped a little, well, then, every little bit helps.
And damned if it doesn't seem to be working. Two of our six litterboxes have this stuff in it, and they're clearly the most used in the house, and the litterboxes are much more full than they used to be. The spots where I know they've been going don't seem to be soiled (more) at all. I'm flabbergasted. All that time, money, and effort for all that other stuff, and then this product comes along, and it looks like my problem is basically solved.
Go figure.
I post this in hopes of it helping someone else. I almost had one of my cats put to sleep as a result of the carpets. I'm sooooooo glad I didn't. I could have never lived with myself. Maybe I can save a cat, or a household, or someone's sanity. And best of luck to anyone who's had that problem.
