Hello. I would use either Nature's Miracle of just plain old white vinegar. For the hard scale, just soak your pans in the vinegar & rinse. Otherwise, just put the vinegar in a spray bottle & clean as often as needed. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Thanks for the info about the litter boxes. Yes, it does matter! The rule is to have one litter box for each cat, plus one extra. So ideally, you should have 11 litter boxes. Anyway, as for a product, I recommend Skout's Honor. I use it when my cats have accidents, and it's amazing. I hope this helps!

Try a pheromone product such as Feliway spray or plug in diffuser. Either may decrease any anxiety or stress in the home. You can also try placing his food and water bowls on the spot. Clean the soiled area thoroughly first using an enzymatic cleaner such as Nature's Miracle. Add an extra litterbox in the house and try different brands and depths of kitty litter in addition to the litterbox attractants.

I love that you have already switched to the unscented litter as that can be a big problem for many cats. Putting the litter box in the shower is a great idea. I would also make sure to clean up the spots he went outside the litterbox using an enzymatic pet stain cleaner to ensure he does not keep smelling urine/feces there and think that it is akin to a litterbox. Other things, like cleaning the litter box often, having multiple litterboxes which are different types of boxes, and trying different types of litter (such as fine-grain litter) may also help you figure out what type of litter Mittens likes. While it certainly sounds like Mittens is having trouble getting used to his new litterbox, it is important to remember that internal diseases (like organ, hormonal, or orthopedic diseases, among other possible causes) can cause Mittens to have a hard time making it into the litterbox so it is important to take Mittens to your vet for evaluation to make sure we are not missing something

Provide additional litter boxes. The general rule of thumb is one box per cat plus an additional box in a neutral location. Use a litterbox attractant to get them back into the boxes. Use an enzymatic cleaner, such as Nature's Miracle, to thoroughly clean soiled areas.
