We have 2 unrelated Abyssinian males, 4 and 5 years old that we have tried to switch from clumping litter to wood pellets. It's been almost a year and have tried all the gradual methods (attractants, mixing with litter etc) but it wasn't until we switched the actual litter boxes to their original ones that things seemed to have turned around. BUT, now we discovered that one of them is peeing in a pile of bedding stacked on a guest daybed!
We are about to completely give up on this because of how long it's been, and there are no medical issues going on. These cats are by nature very willful and I am of the opinion that one of them is basically saying, "screw you, I want my old litter!"
Anyone have a similar experiences and other options to suggest? As of today we have scooped out all the pellets and added a fresh layer of litter along with completely removing all the bedding from that area and sprayed with grapefruit aerosol all through the vicinity hoping to dissuade any further 'deposits'
Thanks!
