Good Pet Stuff Hidden Litter Litter Box

Product Information

This puts us in a unique position to rest and review all kinds of products. With their help we’ve tested and reviewed; Have you noticed that your cat would rather use a plant pot to urinate or defecate, rather than their litter tray? Many cats like to eliminate in soft places, and it’s not particularly uncommon for them to shun the litter tray in favour of their preferred place(s). This can extend to bedding, clothing and furniture, as well as soil.

It did take a little while for our test cat, Marley to figure it out. We had to keep the front doors open for a while so she could see where we’d moved her litter box to. Despite what some experts say, evidence suggests that cats are OK with covered litter boxes. As long as they’re clean. Why Trust Us?

Encouraging Your Cat to Use the Litter Tray

It’s super easy to put together. We tested the XL model and it took us about two minutes. The four walls are all one piece, all you need to do is unfold them. Then drop in the bottom and internal panels and put the lid on. That’s it. Some people might say there is a major difference between open and closed litter boxes, but this isn’t necessarily true. Most cats simply want a clean place to use the bathroom…”

Make sure that the litter tray is located in a quiet part of the home, in which they will be able to use it without fear of interruption. This should not be close to their food and water bowls.Putting aluminum foil around the plant pot(s) can act as a strong deterrent for approaching it again in the future, especially if it is combined with an unpleasant smell as well. Encouraging Your Cat to Use the Litter Tray To stop this behaviour, you’ll need to find ways to make the offending plant pots become an unattractive prospect that is best avoided, while also encouraging them to start using the litter tray instead. Using Unpleasant Smells There are certain smells that are very off-putting to cats, and these can be used to discourage your pet from eliminating in your plant pots. Unpleasant scents that fall into this category include citrus smells such as lemon. Researchers from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine studied this. They published their findings in the Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery. The bottom line was that; Percy, our test cat loved it and needed no encouragement to get in. That said, it’s a good idea to keep the doors open so your cat can find it.
