Related: About this forumTrying to change litter type, it was a huge failure
Original post here-https://www.democraticunderground.com/116163974
Even though I did notice that Shaw was not wheezing any longer, both cats rejected the change from clumping clay type litter to the worlds best litter. Firmly rejected the change.
I have ranch style house on a basement, & b/c of knee issues I put 2 pans in my computer room several years back, the going up & down the stairs to do daily litter box duty was getting to be too much, going weekly to do laundry is doable.
Dixie & Shaw after a week decided " Nope to the new litter" and went downstairs to poop & pee on the concrete floor. I noticed 18 hrs into the nope to that litter strike.
Sigh. They out stubborned me.
If, say in 10 years I get new cats, I'd start them from the start on Worlds Best litter instead of clay.

(44,973 posts)My cat only likes a specific brand of clay litter that I don't particularly like. But when I tried to change it he showed his displeasure the same way yours did. Outside the litterbox.
He is not a very good litterbox user to begin with. So I have to get him the brand he will use, or else he is not using the litter box at all.
