Hi everyone,
Up until now, my two cats (who are 7 months old) have used an open litter tray. However, I’ve just bought them a new, larger one with a flap that I’d really like to keep (it’s much better for the smells!).
To start with, I removed the flap to let them get used to the new tray, but I’ve just put it back on. My female cat figured out how the flap works straight away, but the male (who’s a bit more of a scaredy-cat) hasn't, so he's started doing his business next to the tray instead...
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get him used to the flap??
I’ve already tried going with him when he heads to his tray to try and open the flap for him, but because he’s so timid, he won’t go in. I’ve also tried putting him in there (forcing it a little) and giving him a treat when he comes out on his own, but nothing seems to be working...
PS: The flap is transparent, so he isn't stuck in the dark when he’s inside.
