How to nicely make my cats use the Cat Genie.?
So my Fiancée and I decided that the litter maid weren’t cutting it anymore and we bought the Cat Genie. (www.catgenie.com). It seems a bit scary at first I would imagine, but none of the cats have ever had a problem changing litter boxes or litter. We slowly moved the litter boxes into the bathroom (where the Cat Genie is hooked up). But they won’t defecate inside the Cat genie, only urinate. We also tried covering the entire unit with a black plastic bag and we found several poos. Now the bag is off and only one poo found so far. We still have the old standard litter boxes. I don’t want to put stress on any of the cats by totally removing the boxes. I understand that litter boxes are really important to cats and need to be clean and in the right place at all times. I just really want them to use the Cat Genie! It’s a healthy alternative and I don’t have to clean it (push a button, everything goes down the toilet).
Please suggest any suggestions!

Try covering the box with the plastic bag again. Over a period of weeks (months?) remove more and more of the bag.
It sounds like a privacy issue…is the box located in a busy bathroom? Are they used to a covered box?
When I first started to use my automatic cat box, one cat kept hissing and swiping at it, which activated it, so he’d run away, etc, until he saw my other cat come and use it. Then the first cat seemed to be like “so THAT’S what it’s for!!” No problems after that…

Christina Aguilera $2.57 Like fellow former Mickey Mouse clubber Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera kicks off her debut album with a teen-lust nugget–in this case, the No. 1 single “Genie in a Bottle”–that the rest of the disc can’t possibly live up to. Aguilera has a strong voice, but patterns herself after iffy role models such as Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. Aside from “Genie,” most of this music is straight fro… |
