can this help if the cat is defecating outside the box? She is healthy 9 nine old that just started this.

I used Feliway for aggressive cat behavior and to soothe scared cats, not litter box problems. For that, try changing box location or try a different litter. Cat might not feel save using box where you have it or might not like the smell and feel of the litter.

Did you recently change the type of litter you are using? If a cat uses the box to urinate but defecates outside the box, it means she doesn't like the litter. Like the other person asked, is the box to small and maybe she is trying to use the box but is going over the side? I haven't used the spray for this reason but like it for cats that spray.

Do you mean outside the perimeter of the box or in a totally different area from the box? Sometimes they go just outside the box because it's too tight a fit and too close to the wall. I love this product for spraying around the house. Stops it. Causes cats to rub their cheeks, not spray. Remember, where they rub, they don't spray. Hope this helps.

I know it helps with urine. It worked well with my cats. I haven't tried for defecating out of the box. I would think it is worth the try.

Unfortunately no, but ive heard that putting dog urine (nasty i know) would help by putting it around the border of your yard. This product helps with when a cat urinates and you need to clean it up and get rid of the smell but it is good to put around if that stray cat was there because itll erase its "territory"

First, shake it outside until no more litter falls out... (hang it and beat it with a broom) ...if you're using clumping litter you'll have a real headache when you go to hose it off. I tried all sorts of odor neutralizing products, but nothing worked and my cats started to prefer the mat to the box. When I trashed the mat, nobody peed outside the box anymore. I picked up a few carpet remnants and they worked equally well... at $1 each it wasn't a burden to replace them if an accident happened.

On the first issue, I would say yes. My mom's cat used to urinate and defecate in his crate whenever he was put in it to go to the vet (10 minute drive). They used the wipes and were able to drive him to my house (45 minute drive) and he arrived completely calm and relaxed...even when being introduced to my cats and dog. For litter box anxiety, maybe the diffuser would be a better idea?

Buy a better scoop. Try the Litter Lifter. Your box smells because the dirty cat pee clumps are not getting cleaned out. It could be the box holds too much litter and you can't get out all the dirty clumps with the current scoop you have.

My cat easily went back to using his litter box. He preferred it. I never successfully trained him to use the toilet. We made it to green and he was to large to sit on the edge of the toilet at that stage. If you have a small, thin cat, it might all work. My cat was more than willing, but the setup didn't work for him. So we are back to litter.

Yes, it works fine. The crystals work to dry the poop before it is pushed into the "storage area" so it can stunk for a while, but after it gets moved it is the same as if the cat buried it. You can adjust the time that the box waits before "pushing."

No, but please rule out medical conditions first, kitty could have a UTI or some other underlying condition. It also could be there is something about the litter box kitty does not like, i.e., too much litter, not enough, not clean enough, etc. I had issues with my adopted kitty who was urinating on a carpet area and tried numerous solutions, and finally found resolve in simply placing another litter box over the area she was using. Some people dump their cats at the shelter or where ever due to such problems. Please don't do that, there is a reason kitty is urinating outside the box.

Possibly....depends on why the cat marked it to start with. If this was a one-time accident Nature's Miracle does a great job of eliminating the odor. But if the cat is marking territory or upset about something he may continue to use the area. Good luck.

When we bought ours, we tossed out the other box immediately. Before our cats used the Clevercat, we put about a half a cup of soiled litter right by the hole & a little more down in the fresh litter. We have 5 cats & all of them were using it within a half hour. I would think it will only prolong their getting used to a new box if the two are sitting beside each other. Also we used 30 gal. Flex bags & they couldn't tear it as easy & cleanup is a snap. Hope this helps.

My cat did the samething and then he stopped using his box all together. What I have found is do you have more then one litter box? I have just the one cat and he has three, some cats are very picky about where they do there business so by adding another litter box that can help. THIS STUFF WORKS!! Like i said my cat wasnt using his at all and now I have no more problems. Its worth it.

Hi Irene,Sadly this product did not work outside to thwart my neighbors cat who got into using my patio flower boxes. I then tried orange oil, pricey did not work. I ended up fencing these areas. A friend has your same inside problem and put tin foil down and little by little her cat is coming back to the litter box.

Our bunny is 9 years old. I honestly don't remember how we litter box trained him. I would suggest speaking to a pet store or vet. I wasn't crazy about this litter box though. I didn't use the grate because I felt his feet could get stuck in it.

1A. Go to vet. Make sure nothing wrong biologically. 1. Go to store. Buy 2 under the bed storage boxes for a litter box. Most litter pans are too small. 2. fill with cat attract litter 3. Place boxes somewhere where it is quiet and they can't get ambushed coming in and out of the box. Don't put in a laundry room or near a furnace. 4. More than one cat needs more than one box. I had one older cat that needed three all to himself. 5. Try feliway collars which have natural calming pheromones. 6. Put feliway diffusers (amazon..best price..order the 6 pack)in places where you DO NOT want them to spray. Again calming pheromones. 7. Use a product called stink free to remove the spray smell from where they sprayed(amazon best price) 8. Sift litter boxes morning and night. Yes, twice per day. 9. Get them neutered and soon. If you wait too long, it will become a habit and even neutering them will not help. 10. Feed them in separate areas so they do not have to compete. 11. Do not use citrus based cleansers or any air fresheners near their litter box. They do not like this. They will not go there. I use the blue Lysol. Wash and completely clean out the litter boxes and fill with fresh litter twice per month while the behavior continues. Switch to once per month once you have it solved. 11. If you do all of this, yes, it is an investment, you should have a long and not smelly fun life with your kitties.

It does much better than an a open box... For my cats, this box gives them the ability to cover their poop well (more room to turn around and maneuver....), minimizing smell...

Hi. I only left the old box there for a day. I took it away and watched my cats and they used it right away. Try using some litter from the old box into the new one. Don't worry she will use it. Put it in the same spot as the old one.

There is a hole for the tail which also allows the cat to go to the litter box. My cat can use the litter box successfully with the diaper on; however, depending on the fit of the diaper, sometimes the feces end up in the diaper instead.
