I would encourage you to have a conversation with your veterinarian. Dr. Elsey's cat attract litter does a great job when kitties need a "marker" to remind them where to do their business and the sprinkle powder is also a great addition. However, if there is a deeper issue with territorial disputes, springtime urges, or even medical concerns such as crystals or blockage, your veterinarian will be able to offer sound advice.

Sounds like you might want to try: a. removing the door flap if there is one to see if she is afraid of that b. removing the cover that encloses the box (not all cats appreciate the confinement) Your Subject line mentions Dr. Elsey's products. We have had tremendous success (although not complete success) with these products. I would encourage you to try the CAT ATTRACT products to encourage your cat to use the location. Dr. Elsey's Ultra Litter Attractant that you can sprinkle on any litter can be a good place to start ... Dr. Elsey's Cat Attract litter itself is also a great product! They are expensive but also have been effective for our needs.

I just rescued this kitty from the crazy cat ladies house who has 26 cats and 2 litter boxes overflowing. Disgusting. He wanted nothing to do with the litter box. Some dude dropped him off there about a week prior. And it traumatized him. I tried different litters he'd run away shaking his paws mad at me. I wasn't keeping him if things didn't change. I decided i I was gonna potty train him in the regular toilet. That's where I ran into this product. Man....I put some in a box. He was smelling it while I did it. I put it in the back where I think he was doing his business. Went about mine. Later on I fed him and go show him this other box I just put baking soda naturals in. Thinking of texture. He jumped out of the box like I burned him. I was done. And then this immense light opened the sky and shone down on my little angel going potty in this litter here. And he continues to use it with no issues. So your answer.. YES IT WORKS! BLOWN AWAY. ⁵

Yes, you can use this product with mechanical litter boxes.

You should never flush cat matter mixed with any kind of litter. Our water facilities plants have stated litter is no good and has clogged systems they use to filtrate our drinking water etc...as well as causing other problems with clean water. Please never flush the cats stuff covered in litter.
