I have an adopted declawed cat. He will not use a litter box. Has anyone had success this on a cat who has been declawed and would not use the box?

Absolutely works! I have 2 declawed cats, sisters 4-yrs old! They were fine and trained until my 2 grand puppies came to Christmas last yr. This whole past yr I have been struggling to get them to quit peeing outside the litter box. Finally I saw the Cat Attract Cat Litter on Amazon and bought it. The first time I put it in their litter boxes they were attracted to it and have been peeing in the litter box not outside! It's as if there is something in it that pulls them into the litter! I've been buying it ever since!

Greetings Kaye-My persian, Rusty Wallace was not using his box, and he is indeed declawed-He os now with 100%success using his litterbox. My question to you though, is, how long has it been since your former feral friend was declawed- sometimes it can take a while for them to adjust- and litter may aggravated the digits- try Cat Attract ( also available on Amazon) with shredded newspaper- or shredded paper towel- that will be softer on the toes.Good luck!

I am not sure if declawing has anything to do with it or not. I would suspect it doesn't. My cats LOVE this litter, and it has helped solve a box-aversion with one of them. There is also a number on the litter bag/box that you can call to ask specific questions.

It would be better than clay litter while the cat is healing because there are no gritty bits to get into wounds and when the pellets break down, they just get kind of fluffy (the vet recommended this to me for my cat after neutering), but the pellets are kind of heavy, and many declawed cats actually feel pain in their feet their entire lives from the procedure, so something with a softer texture such as a sawdust-based litter would probably be better after the wounds heal, otherwise you might risk litterbox avoidance.

I'm not sure how to answer that question. My cats are declawed and they don't do anything to the netting. The netting is really thick and sturdy .it's not flimsy. seems like a question to ask the company... I think you can contact them from their website. I love this carrier so much... it's one of the best purchases I've ever made. Can't say enough good things about it.

Interesting question... We have a cat but I've never had issue to use it. I can only say that I will try it for that situation should it happen.

We have 3 cats with *very* different personalities, and they all switched quite easily. One good way to facilitate the process is to put the old litter box right next to the Genie, and stop cleaning the old litter box. Cats are so opposed to a dirty box they'll be motivated to try the Genie. I also *highly* recommend using the sidewalls - we have 1 "scatterer" and are saving a lot more granules now.

Are you aware of how awfully painful is for cats to be declawed? Besides that if they go outside, they are defendless. It is more humane to trim their nails as needed

Absolutely can not use the litter box with them on. But that's a great thing because they work :). We keep the litter box in the unfinished part of the basement and take our cat down every 5-6 hours. We leave him down there so he can go as he pleases then re diaper him so he can have run of the house :)

Yes, if it's one thing cat's are great at it's climbing! They use their nails to cling on and climb. So if you declawed your cat then it would have a hard time getting there.

Hi! The litter box isn't as shape as it looks. Cats will kick litter out of almost any box, but my cats didn't kick much litter out of this one. It also depends how much litter you put in it. I just used a little less. Hope this answers your question.

My cat was literally no longer using his box at all. He was spraying all over the house. When I moved to an apartment, I knew I had to do something, so I tried this litter. In almost a year, he has sprayed outside of the box three times, and that was in the first few months. He has had ZERO accidents in probably 7 or 8 months. This stuff has been miraculous, in our case.

Yes - I've found the grates get clogged with clumping litter, especially if they pee near the sifter. We tried almost every kind of litter, but in the end we went with non-clumping crystal litter or as an alternative non-clumping clay. After the crystals are spent we take off the hood and tilt the box backwards into the waste bin. Then we refill with fresh litter. That's made the box well worth the price for us. We have 7 cats and this has cut down on litter box maintenance considerably for us. We own two of these plus our normal cat boxes. I much prefer cleaning this box to the others.

Hello, I have the same cat litter box and it is absolutely horrible! When the cat does use the litter box then everything gets caught up in the wire rake. Then it falls into the litter and gets pushed back and forth and never goes where it is suppose to. It is a huge mess to have to clean up. Much worse then a regular litter box. I have sent mine back and I did not clean the thing because I wanted them to see just how awful this thing was! The poop went everywhere! Send yours back because if your cat does finally use it then you will have the same kind of mess to deal with! Not to mention the odor!

So, I was able to finally get my cat to use the red stage only for pooping. I found out in the process that she stands when she pees and doesn't squat. I should have known that from seeing the inside markings of her litter box. She continued with that same habit with the Litter Kwitter, so I had to just stop using it.

Unfortunately my cat is a rescue and he was declawed. He does use the top and crawls into the bottom. He is 15 lbs.

HI, was not for me, but may be for some cats. Mine, jumped in and did their thing... Love it when they walz in house from outdoors and go to the litter box. I pick their little butts up and put them back OUTSIDE!!! LOL

I never followed the directions. I simply removed the old one and put the Clevercat in place. I never had an issue. Maybe try removing the old one, putting litter in the new one and see what happens. If she has an accident, bring back the old one. But if she is already fastidious about going in the box, you shouldn't have a problem.

Try scooping some poop out of the other box, place it in the new one and unplug the box until he/she uses it. Then plug it in once a day and hit the button to cycle but dont leave it going. Unplug it once it has cycled. I have the same issues with my cats but we are on week 3 or 4 and they are almost never using the old cat box anymore. Slow transition. They need to trust it.
