Hi --
We have 2 indoor female cats who are about 10 months old. They are very active throughout the house, but refuse to go down the stairs into the basement (where we want to relocate the litter box). We've tried putting treats on the stairs, calling them from the basement, and carrying them down (they freak out when we do that). The basement itself is nothing special, not finished, but not scary either.
The stairs to the basement are wood and open in the back, and we're wondering if that is causing the problem. Any ideas how we can get them to go down those stairs?
Thanks --
Keith
