Cats hate anything new; so much so that they will need help in adjusting to new cat litter in the box or a change in diet. Felines are creatures of habit and any change in their routine can stress them out.

If you are planning to change your cat’s litter, here are some steps you need to undertake to ensure your cat is able to accept the new litter and won’t shy away from using the litter box:

• When switching to a new litter, always use the old litter box that your kitty has been using. Avoid changing both the litter box and cat litter at the same time because this can be overwhelming for your kitty. The old litter box should be placed in the same location, as you change your cat’s litter. Also, avoid changing litters or anything that your kitty has been using for a long time when moving to a new home.
• Changing a cat’s litter is like switching to a new pet food. It should be done gradually, mixing some of the old cat litter with the new one in increasing ratios until the entire amount is made up of the new litter. Waiting a few days in between a change in the mixture will make the transition easier on your pet.
