How to Acclimate Your Cat to a PetSafe® ScoopFree® SmartSpin™ Self-Cleaning Litter Box
The acclimation process will vary from cat to cat. The most important part of the process is giving your cat enough time to acclimate. This article outlines some techniques you can try to help your cat accept your new ScoopFree® SmartSpin™ Self-Cleaning Litter Box.
Place the ScoopFree®SmartSpin™next to your old litter box and leave unplugged for a day or two. This will allow your cat to explore his curiosities about the new litter box without being spooked by the automatic sifting.
Scoop some litter (about ½ cup) from the old litter box and sprinkle it in the ScoopFree® SmartSpin™. This will help your cat feel more comfortable with the new litter box by introducing a familiar smell.
Stop cleaning your cat’s old litter box, allowing it to remain dirty. Cats prefer a clean litter box, so as the litter in the old litter box gets dirtier and its odor increases, this should make the ScoopFree®SmartSpin™ more appealing.
Allow your cat to have access to both the old and new litter boxes for at least a week. Time may vary depending on the temperament of your cat.
Once your cat has transitioned to the ScoopFree® SmartSpin™remove the old litter box from the area.
If your cat is younger than 6 months old, leave the litter box unplugged until they are 6 months old.
