Most cats transition to the Poopy without problems
1. Leave the Poopy turned off
Leave Poopy turned off at first to prevent your cat from being startled by the sound or motion. Once you notice your cat using Poopy , turn it on and let your cat get used to the cleaning cycle while you are there to reassure him.
2. Old litter box and the Poopy
Don't throw out the old litter box yet and use the same cat grit your cat is used to. Sprinkle some grit from the old box into Poopy to create a familiar scent. Let your cat use both litter boxes for a while, cleaning the old box less and less. Cats prefer a clean box and will therefore switch to Poopy more quickly.
3. Reward interactions with the Poopy
If your cat is reluctant, you can entice him with some catnip or a treat. Place treats on the rim or near Poopy so your cat develops positive associations with his new litter box. Reward your cat with extra attention or treats once he uses Poopy .
4. Introduce the automatic function gradually
When your cat starts using Poopy , introduce the self-cleaning feature. Turn on Poopy and let your cat watch from a safe distance. Stay calm and talk gently to reassure your cat. Curiosity will eventually overcome fear!
5. Use a lure
Some cats need an extra incentive to switch to Poopy. Litter box lures can help by adding a scent that attracts cats. This can significantly speed up the switch.
6. Be patient and adapt your strategy
Every cat is unique. Adjust these steps based on your cat's behavior and comfort level. Patience is the key! With time, encouragement and a little love, your cat will eventually fully embrace Poopy .
