Is this attractant based upon catnip? My older cat is immune to catnip, and could care less.

I used to have a hamster to which I fed alfalfa pellets. This attractant smells like those alfalfa pellets. I don't sense a catnip smell.

The label says the ingredients are "natural materials," and to me, it looks and smells just like catnip. Whatever it is, it just works. For the low price, it's worth the chance that it might work for you. My cats aren't really interested in catnip-filled toys, but sure sniffed around a ton when I put this in their cat box. The went potty immediately! I would recommend this product to anyone!! Hopefully this answers your question...

The ingredients on the back just says mixed herbs pretty sure. My cat doesn't care for catnip and this has done wonders for me. It smells like an earthy, mulch smell which makes them think they are pooping in a nice flower bed or vegetable patch I think haha

oh, I wish you had posted an update! I'm wondering how things turned out.Did cats get used to the ScoopFree?More experiments to entice the cats to adapt?And, to be sure, some cats are just picky, determined, and don't adapt.

It's worth trying out, I've had some success with products that contain Feliway (comfort zone, etc). But it sounds like you might benefit from contacting a cat behaviorist.

Actually, I still have some. I think it is just too mild for my cat's problem. She was attacked and suffered trauma. She is on meds from the doctor and I was just trying to find something to help. I noticed little difference with this product. I DID find something that helped, Safe Space for Cats from Spirit Essences. You just spray it on bedding or similar places. Even her prescription meds seem to be more effective after I started using the Spirit Essences.

It's definitely worth a try. There is some kind of herb they put in it to make a cat happy to use the box. Petco sells the litter (it's cheaper here) and bottles of the "attract" stuff. The litter fixed the frustrating potty issue right away for us.

Your cat appears young. They have tons of energy at that age. First of all is your cats behavior out of stress or boredom? I would try approaching this from multiple angles. First engage the cat in playtime activities with toys to burn off excess energy. A tired pet isn't as likely to get into trouble. Does your cat enjoy catnip, if so, place toys near the bedding, so that they become more interesting . If the behavior continues, then I would try the feliway,its cheaper than bedding. Good luck!

It's scented powder that you sprinkle into the cat's litterbox. To us humans, it smells a little pungant, kind of earthy, but to cats it apparently excites their scent-glands and makes them want to go to the bathroom. So hypothetically I guess, you could sprinkle this powder on your living room floor, and the cat would probably be excited to use THAT as his new litter box *lol* As for how it works? I guess the scientists who created Litter Attractant made it out to smell like nature, out in the woods, or maybe something similar to cat-nip, or some kind of primal/earthy scent that triggers something in a cat's brain, to make them want to relieve themselves all over it. Maybe it's a "marking their territory" kind of thing? All I know is that it WORKS for me! Just make sure to use it with UNSCENTED litter. Because if you sprinkle it in the standard cat litter with "odor control" or whatever, those scented crystals will suck up the scent of this Litter Attractant, and it won't work at all!

The toy does not come with catnip. We have 4 cats. now only did they not have any interest in the mice (bought 2), but neither one squeeked like advertised.

It has a really nice scent, I think, but my cat showed no interest in it at all.

I don't know for sure, perhaps the ingredients. I believe they both aim to do the same thing...keep cats calm, stoptheir scratching if that's what they are doing.

I am not sure. My cat even though old (12 years) is very quick to grab the mouse and sometimes biting off the tail and is not as fascinated by it then. Think that he just likes crawly creatures.

Here's my take... World's Best clumps better... I used the Cat Attract because I have a cat who will not pee in the box. She was treated for a kidney stone and it has since dissolved and passed... BUT the behavior hasn't changed. Cat Attract must have worked because I switched back to the World's best and she is peeing outside of the box again. I was hoping it clumped well, but it does not. I have a litter maid, and it constantly breaks up and/or gets stuck in the rake. Unfortunately, at this point, it's my only option for my sanity. I wish it clumped better.

That's the weird thing about this product, it says 2% facial pheromones but unless you are really intent on googling that definition, I can only offer that its a pheromone of unknown origin that calms the crap out of skittish cats. They had an original formula that included St Johns Wort and I loved that but I cant find it anymore. Also, if you have hyper people in your household, I've found it has an added benefit for them, not sure WHY that is but it is.

That's my issue too. My boy kitty used it the first day with the catnip on it now he just walks by it and doesn't use it.

I think it might. I used the difuser that is plugged in and slowly releases the pheromones. When I plugged it in the response was very quick. I used it because I had brought in a new kitty and my other kitties were a bit negative and at times aggressive and this seemed to help the situation quickly. They sort of mellowed out when I turned it on. And the effect was pretty much permanent. My sister has used the collar on just one of her cats who terrorized her other 5 cats and it also worked well. However with him she has to keep replacing the collar 2 or 3 times a year to keep him in check. I hope you find this information helpful. Linda I think it might.

The powder does have a distinctive odor (kind of fishy), but I only notice it when I sprinkle it on wet food. Of course a cat's sense of smell is better than mine. I think she will probably eat it since she won't really know it's there.

Hi. I bought this for ny cats a couple months ago. It did work, but theu didn't like it, so it did require forcing the to have some.The flavor will be whatever is indicated. For instance, your comment is appearing below the one that says 'catnip' and if ordered, it will be catnip.Thst said, my cats lovw catnip and still did not like this. It's hard to say what a cat will actually enjoy. And, the tip of putting it on their paw so that they lick it off, only resulted in globs being flung all over my carpet.At the end of the day, I had to put it in their mouths, but it did work at getting ris of the hairballs and coughing after 4 days of use.
