Hi everyone,
I have a question about switching litter. I took Sparta to the vet on Monday because her eye has been watering a lot lately and she's been sneezing and the verdict was URI. I know that's caused by dust from clay litter, which is what I was using, so I decided to try a different kind and Tuesday night I got them Swheat cat litter. It's wheat and supposedly dust free and when I put it out for them, Sparta used it but Ares sniffed and played with it but wouldn't go. I started to worry but then he actually went so I figured no problem, they like it. But this morning Ares was meowing like mad and sniffing at the litterbox but not doing anything. Then I found pee in the cat bed.
So we let him have access to the clay litter and in he went for a poo. So I'm wondering if there is a good way to switch litters? Should I leave both litters accessible and let them choose? I'm afraid of doing that because what if they only keep using the clay one?
I'm not sure what to do. I saw other threads mention World's Best Cat Litter but I don't think we can get it here in Canada. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Trish
ps Sorry it's long... apparently when I decide to post I post novels.
