Subtle changes to the type and brand of litter can explain recent changes in your cat’s behavior towards its litter box. If your cat happens to behave inappropriately and insistently refuse to take a dump on the new litter box, then it’s best to revert to its old litter box. Much of how cats behave is dictated by their preferences and inklings. Each cat will have a unique taste.
A cat with a very keen and sensitive sense of smell should not be given any scented or perfumed litter, because the potent scent itself can be repulsive to the cat despite its main purpose being to subdue an unpleasant smell.
Several trials among the available litter types might be warranted to guarantee that you find the best litter box that fits your cat’s preferences. Some litter types marketed in stores are scented and unscented litters, wood, or plant-based litters. Other litters are made of recycled paper. Stores also have clumping and non-clumping litters. There are plenty of litter types to choose from however, it’s important to allow your cat to familiarize itself with a new litter gradually. Try to introduce the new litter incrementally by mixing a bit of the new with the old. Eventually, your cat will get used to the new litter.
Consult your veterinarians Aurora CO if you notice anything unusual with your pet’s toilet habits.
