Maximizing Litter Tray Life
1. ScoopFree works best if placed away from areas of high humidity such
as bathrooms and showers.
2. Cats with diets high in crude fiber and ash content will produce more
solid waste. This may prematurely fill the waste trap. To maximize
litter tray life, consider changing the cat’s diet to a brand with no
byproducts or fillers.
3. Increased elimination habits of older cats and cats with diabetes,
kidney and thyroid problems may result in a shorter tray life.
4. Kittens will go through litter trays faster than adult cats. Typically once
kittens reach the 6-8 months age range their litter box frequency
lessens. NOTE: ScoopFree is not intended for use with kittens younger
than 6 months old.
5. Stirring litter crystals once a week may better accommodate cats that
are ill or have a high urine output. Stirring will distribute saturated
crystals and extend the life of the tray.
6. Be sure to mix in the crystal from behind the rake and along the sides
of the litter box. This will also benefit those cats that do not dig or
consistently urinate in the same spot, but do not mix in litter from under
the waste trap.
Acclimating Your Cat
Most cats adapt easily to ScoopFree. If your cat needs help adjusting, we
recommend trying the following:
•
Add a few handfuls of your cat’s old litter to the litter tray.
•
Leave the old litter box next to ScoopFree and stop cleaning the old
litter box.
•
Gradually remove clean litter from the old litter box. As the litter in the
old litter box gets shallow and its odor increases, your cat should start
using ScoopFree.
•
You can also add a few handfuls of crystal litter to your cat’s old litter
box.
