Dr. Elsey's Litter Box Attractant - Ultra Litter Attractant - 20 oz Pouch - Feline Behavior Modification & Training Tool

Found this stuff after doing an internet search to find out why one of our long time house cats suddenly decided to find a place to pee other than the litter box. For obvious reasons that behavior had to be stopped immediately. We have two indoor cats and three litter boxes (followed the "rule" - one for each cat plus one more) that are scooped out every day. I *very* happy to report that the misbehaving cat is back to using the litter boxes again and zero issues going anywhere else. Success! We did two things: 1) replaced our current boxes with LARGE, DEEP litter pans and filled them very full, 4-5" deep, with litter. Used Nature's Miracle clumping and 2) sprinkled this cat litter attractant into each pan and mixed with the litter.The cat with issues started returning to use to the litter pans after we set up the new large ones, this was a couple days before the attractant arrived. However just to be sure we added this attractant the day it was delivered. I have to say, the day the attractant was added both cats became much more interested in the upstairs pan - which previously was rarely used even before the avoidance issue started (not sure why, but the cats just always liked the two basement pans better). So while it could have been the new pans that helped get the one cat back to using the pans, I have to say that this stuff definitely got both cats using the upstairs pan more often.So for that reason I would recommend this as a litter attractant.The product states to use it with specific cat litter and lists the litter to NOT use it with - e.g. perfumed litters, corn, paper, to name a few. We didn't use it with the recommended litter brand and it seemed to work as an attractant just the same. Not sure if that would be the case for everyone, but that was our experience.Also, the bottle was larger than I expected - so there is plenty of attractant in this 20 ounce bottle. I sealed the container up in a ziplock type bag to store it.As a side note, even though I've owned cats my whole life I can see now why the litter box issue probably developed with the larger cat. Mainly, the pans were too small and not deep enough for the cat to bury everything completely. I figured with cleaning them out every day pan size wouldn't be a problem and these were standard size pans. Well, apparently after awhile it did become a problem.The large pans we have now are about twice the size of our biggest cat and are filled very deep with enough litter that the cats can actually bury their business deep enough that it's not even visible from the top. The only way we even know the cats have been to the pan is their paw prints in the litter. With cleaning them out once a day everything's stayed nice and clean - cats are happy and we're happy.

I was really skeptical of this but it actually worked great! my cat had a uti and was refusing to use the litter box, we got it cleared up but it then caused the behavioral problem of still not using the box, this almost immediately fixed that problem. As soon as I started mixing this in, she started using it again. You don’t have to use very much of it so it definitely lasts a long time. It does have a little bit of an earthy smell to it but it’s not overwhelming at all. I didn’t notice any changes to the functionality of the litter. Would purchase again if needed and would recommend to anyone who’s having problems with a cat not using their box.

This litter attractant is no miracle worker. I had to retrain my cats to use the litter box after a couple of years of them doing their business exclusively outside (of their own choice). They decided they preferred the rug to the soft litter with cat attractant. So in my case, it didn't seem to work. What got them to go in their litter boxes was by completely covering the spots they preferred and putting their number twos in the litter boxes. Perhaps this litter attractant might of helped and as I have been a big fan of Dr. Elsey's products, I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I have never had such a hard time training cats to use the litter box before so this was bought out of desperation. My cats are now fully acquainted and happy to use their litter boxes now and while I have the litter attractant, I will continue to use it just to make sure.If you have a problem cat, a cat who usually uses the litter box, this might help - that is if they don't have a serious health issue. But if you are retraining or training an outdoor cat to do business indoors, just don't expect a miracle.

I have five cats, but only one of them is female. She has decided that peeing right in front of the litterboxes is her preference. I've ruled out UTI's and other possible health problems, moved the litterboxes, added more litterboxes, etc... she just seems to not like the litterboxes anymore. She is also the most overweight of the bunch, so I have extra large storage totes cut/designed into litterboxes, which she still isn't happy with. I recently got sick of changing pee pads every day, so I bought this product. While it seems to be working, it also seems to add a large amount of dust to the Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat Litter, which I buy because it truly is 99% dust free. It makes me sneeze like crazy (it smells like hay?) and one of my kitties sneezes when I first put it into the litter. I think I will change to the Cat Attract litter instead; hopefully it is 99% dust free like the original and works as well as this dusty stuff does.
