Been on amber for 6 weeks very successfully. Started green today and cat peed on it, but pooped elsewhere. What should I do?

Read the reviews for the product. I wish we had. It is an unethical and dangerous product. Throw it away and return to the litter box.

Consider buying the MultiKatKit. It has two extra trays that help ease the transition between stages.

hmmm. i'm no professional, but since it's hardwood, you might have to sand it out. I'm thinking it's pretty soaked in there. and to "unsoak' it with more liquid will probably trash it. Is the pee in a super visible place? I was thinking maybe you could spray some Fizzion on, then sprinkle it with baking soda or borax, maybe, to suck up the Fizzion and with luck, the cat pee also. But, I have NO IDEA if this will do something crazy to the floor. I'm curious now, I think I'll have to go online and see if someone has come up with a solution! Good luck!

One of our cats does the same thing - we tried covered boxes but the urine just ran down from the side of the top and gathered in the capilary space between the lid and bottom part of the box. The only we have found to work is 18 GAL Roughneck Totes by Rubbermaid. They are 24 x 16 (like a regular litter box) but even on her best tail pumping days, our female cat can only get to within a half inch of top the the 16.5" tall side walls. I am considering this box but am concerned that the pee will run down the wall and collect where the lid and bottom come together. Did you have any luck with this product and your cat?

I try to wipe it down daily. Usually it's just the small inner ledge that gets dirty, not the part that the cat stands on. I've never seen any urine spray from outside the toilet, but occasionally a little piece of poo here and there (I have no idea why, though). No matter what, it's way better than cleaning a cat box once the cat completes the training.

I have not had this issue with my female 10 lb 8 year old cat. She usually pees(#1) just at the entrance and does her #2 in the back of the box. I have two boxes for her and most of the time, she uses one for peeing (#!) and the other one for #2. I clean the boxes every night. I failed to do so one time and I noticed that she had peed on the side. I am not sure if she did this because she felt the box/litter was dirty. Despite the peeing on the side of the box this one time, I did not notice any leakage however I always put a large towel under the box to catch any litters in her paws and in case there is a leakage (I have wood floors).

I would throw out all pellets and put in fresh ones. Smeared poop sounds like the cat has diarhea and so hopefully that will pass.

If your cat has no health issues to explain this behavior then my guess is there is some smell/scent on the cardboard that is making your cat feel the need to mark it. I would throw it out and see if your cat will return to using the litterbox. If not then your cat may be having pain (crystals in urine) while using the litterbox and will use something else because they associate the pain with the litterbox, see a vet asap. But if there are no health issues then you may want to buy a smaller cardboard scratching box, one they can't actually sit in or maybe try the one that hangs on a door handle instead.

My female also pees standing up. I have a sageking catty corner litter box. We use it without the cover,(she wasn't fond of). She was constantly getting pee stains on the wall. After several weeks of wiping walls down, I decided it was time for "drastic" measures. Put a piece of folded cardboard behind litter box-goes behind 2 sides and is three times as high as box. From this I hang thick plastic, just enough to go over edge of box. Now her pee runs back into box, not on wall. I scoop the litter box, don't use the tray that lifts out.

Mine did not take to it immediately. I tried the mixing of the granules with the regular litter and still they were not keen on using the Genie. I finally made them go "cold turkey" and took away their regular boxes. They did use the Genie but one of my cats is large and doesn't squat completely so urine was going into the mechanical areas that were not washed. The smell soon became apparent and with the effort it took to completely take it apart to clean it, I sent it back and went back to a traditional box. It is a nice concept but it just isn't worth the money and the difficulty with using it. Mine did not take to it immediately.

I would say no. I knew where my cat had peed and it did not even pick it up. It was not worth the money.

I would suggest maybe taking your cat to a vet to see if he/she may be diabetic, this litter doesn't have unnecessary chemicals that detract ants so they may be attracted to the smell of your cats urine. Just like in humans this can be a sign of diabetes. If he/she has a clean bill of health this may help: http://www.mnn.com/your-home/at-home/blogs/13-natural-remedies-for-the-ant-invasion

When I switched to this product my cat's digestive track completely cleared up. Prior to this brand he had terrible problem including blood in stools from months of digestive track problems. I would thing that either you cat has an individual problem with the brand ingredients, you might try turkey or beef, or the amount you are feeding is too great especially if the cat is older and more idle.

I have the same problem with my cat... After a visit to the vet, we added a pro-biotic, slippery elm bark, grass and the MOST important... I built a raised feeder so my cat didn't bend her throat or tummy when she ate... THE FIRST DAY NO Vomiting!!!! Been a week and still none!!!! I've been picking her some young fescue grass and she's eating that so am ordering this asap... She was having terrible constipation problems, the pro-biotic and slippery elm bark helped that, added a couple teaspoons water to her WET food, OMG in a week even her coat feels and looks silkier! This Cat threw up EVERY DAY.. The raised Feeder and Fiber, a miracle!!! I have the same problem with my cat...

I have to tame ferrell kittens and find them homes, so I've had to deal with a lot of kitten poo problems. Poo on the walls, baseboards, floor - and the litter box. Fizzion is a wonder worker. Spray it on and let it sit a few minutes and the poo comes right off. You may have to repeat if it doesn't all come off the first time. Depending on the type of paint on your walls, you may lose a little but you can always spot paint it.

I had an issue with a cat peeing in inappropriate areas - I tried this product - it was OK - just spray and saturate area and then let it dry. Personally I use anti-icky poo spray now first and then my favorite called Zero Odor next. That combo gets everything clean and smelling nice.

I suggest that it be done at least 2-3 days. I have a 5-1/2 month old kitten and she poops more than any cat I have ever had. I clean it out every 3 days. So, it depends on your cat. Good luck!
