How long till your cat acclimated?
How long did it take for your cat to fully acclimate to the litter robot? Did anyone have trouble and if so, can you share your experience and how you got them to start fully using it? Do some people still having trouble and or did their cat never take to the litter robot?
We got the litter robot two weeks ago and my cat was using it just fine off, till he saw it cycle clean one time and was terrified to be around it at all. If we tried to get him to be near it, he was scream meowing at it and looked so terrified. So then we resorted back to turning it off and giving him lots of wet and dry treats to go back to using it. Now that he’s been very comfortable using it. I went ahead and turned it back on and he’s not as terrified, but won’t go near it willingly so I have to almost force him or make him go in and out of it with wet treats. He hasn’t had any accidents around the house, but I quite literally have to be with him for him to use the litter box multiple times throughout the day. He won’t go in there willingly by himself unless it’s to watch it cycle he still won’t use the restroom by himself, but he’s always watching it when it cleans (I inserted his face when watching it cycle clean). Should I resort to turning it off and manually cycling it? Or should I continue let it cycle and give home treats in and out of it?
If I leave it off, it defeats the purpose of me buying it. The whole reason we got this is so it automatically cleans as soon as he drops waste so our dogs don’t eat his waste when we’re not around. Any advice and your experience helps i’m not sure what to do. He’s my first cat.
