How To Acclimate My Cat to the PetSafe® ScoopFree® OpenSky Self-Cleaning Litter Box
The acclimation process will vary from cat to cat. The most important part of the process is giving your cat enough time to acclimate. This article outlines some techniques to help your cat accept the new PetSafe® ScoopFree® OpenSky Self-Cleaning Litter Box.
Acclimating Your Cat
Place the OpenSky litter box next to the old litter box and leave it unplugged for a day or two. This will allow your cat to explore his curiosities about the new litter box without being spooked by the automatic sifting.
Scoop some litter (about ½ cup) from the old litter box and sprinkle it in the OpenSky litter box. This will help your cat feel more comfortable with the new litter box by introducing a familiar smell.
Stop cleaning your cat’s old litter box, allowing it to remain dirty. Cats prefer a clean litter box. So as the litter in the old box gets dirtier and odors increase, this should make the OpenSky litter box more appealing.
Allow your cat to have access to both the old and new litter boxes for at least a week. Time may vary depending on the temperament of your cat.
Remove the old litter box from the area once your cat has transitioned to the OpenSky litter box.
If your cat is younger than 6 months old, leave the litter box unplugged until they are 6 months old.
