which is better - cat attract litter or the additive?

I haven't heard of that product before. I heard of the additive but don't know if it works.

How old is your cat? How many other cats do you have and how many litter boxes do you have? Have you eliminated the possiblity of illness?

There's a nice rule of thumb when it comes to litter boxes. You should have 2 boxes for every 1 cat AND/OR 1 litter boxer for each level of your house +1.

If you have more than one cat, it could be a territory thing or you don't have enough litter boxes. Even if you only have 1 cat and 1 litter box, sometimes just getting another one helps for some reason. Also, if there's a stray cat outside, sometime a cat will feel threated and pee outside the box even though the other cat has never been inthe house. Sometimes the type of litter you use can make cats not want to use it. Some cats don't like scented litters or a certain texture of litter. I had a cat once, never had a problem with using the litter box then all of a sudden she decided she didn't like the litter anymore and stopped using it. We switched litter and had no more problems.
Also if you haven't eliminated the chance of it being sick, that could be another factor.

I know this doesn't answer your question but its always good to make sure you cover all your bases just in case. If it is just a thing of you not having enough litter boxes, than I'm sure it will be cheaper buying another box than the attract litter or the additive. On the other hand, if you get this attract litter or the additive and the real reason is that it is sick, then you won't be solving the issue at all and whatever illness your cat may have could just get worse and worse without treatment

I agree that you should have him checked by the vet before you decide it's a behavioral problem. And adding more boxes is never a bad thing.

I think the litter is considered to be more effective, unless you have a cat who's very picky about litter. The usual recommendation is to use the litter for a few months to get him back to using the litterbox, then use the additive to help transition him back to his normal litter.

As for price, I don't know where to find it cheapest. The only place I know that sells it is Petsmart, so I've never been able to compare prices. They used to have a free offer on their website, so that's worth checking out.

The additive worked for me when I had a geriatric cat who had a cat version of alzheimers and forgot where the box was. The additive smell was strong enough for her to locate the box.

When I had peeing issues, the litter worked better for me. So if you are having those types of issues, go with the litter.

The cheapest place I found was Petsmart. There is a $1 coupon inside each bag.

I have used the cat attract litter and have also tried additives (added to a different litter). I find the cat attract litter to work extremely well.

It sounds as if you do not have a litter box on the second level (where the accidents are happening)???? I would definitely add one and see if that helps.

ive used cat attract and kitten attract and so far so good.. i bought it initially because cynder was too young and i was worried about him not using the litter box, so i bought a bag and mixed it with just regular gravol litter and he has been fine. if you go to their website you can get coupons for 2 free 20 pd bags of it. i just used the first coupon, after i run out of coupons i had a friend give me the special kitty from walmart,but not sure if i will use it as it's the scented kind... or you can just buy the additive to add to your litter but i have not used that yet, good luck stinky carpets are not the way to go and i really hope your little precious kitty gets to stay in her forever home.
