Has anyone used this to train kittens? If so, were you successful?. Thank you!

This worked on our 5-month-old kitten, from the first day we tried it. We also took the lid off the litter box like they recommend.

I have not used it with a kitten, but I did use it for a cat that stopped using the litter box and it work extremely well!

Did you ever find something for your cat? I just toilet trained mine and am looking for something that will flush the toilet every few hours...not necessarily motion activated (i've read that those don't work very well for cats).

Ha! Mine too, but I'm not sure I'm the best person to answer this question (I gave up after one try). I may try again this spring, when the weather is better and they aren't so little. Heads up, the leash isn't super long either, so keep that in mind... depending on what your goal is there. And here is a link to leash-training tips from ASPCA: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/virtual-pet-behaviorist/cat-behavior/teaching-your-cat-walk-leash Hope this helps!

I found that the cat(s) experience is so disturbing, they avoid the area it was on. You may initially need to re-train by putting it back on now & then...but not often.

the problem is figuring out where to spray it. You have to spray it where they are marking. Or if it's a stress issue with the cat where do you spray it. I've never had great success with it. I recent bought a pheromone collar at the vet which worked great but doesn't last very long.

It didn't work, not at all. I would try something else. I took my 2 cats to vet today for his advice, and picked up something there.

I wish I could train dogs. Someone ripped me off and sent me the chinese knock off version - watch cats. These things can't be trained. It sucks!

Hello! My cats don't really use it, either. So that string toy thing with the wand on the end I just use by first putting catnip in it first and then use it by just waving it around in the hole on the top or if your cat sticks his/her head in one side you can also wave it around on the other side where they can see it and they'll run over and through this crackle chute to play. My cats honestly have even tried to sleep in it. So I wouldn't worry about it too much. They'll get used to it

For me it did help with that, but I didn't really see a difference until my second month of using Feliway. I'm really glad that I didn't give up. I have two cats and one use to beat up on the other and now they are both more out going and loving.

I'm wondering this as well - we have a cat that will not use a litter box but will use puppy pads.... thinking of trying one of these. Anybody try this yet?

I'm sure it would work just fine....the question is How long will it take to teach a kitten to use it?? :-) My neighbor has the same door and his adult cat, which weighs about 9 pounds, has no trouble using the door.

I bought mine to use it on my cat, but as soon as I try to get it close to my cat, she jumps out of my arms. The sound scares her. So unless you have a really calm cat , I wouldn't recommend this. Mine is brand new I don't use it. Or should I say my cat won't let me use it.

Hi! Wish I could, but kept it for a while (thinking my kitty would get with the program--but never did) and finally gave it away a couple of weeks ago to someone in the office. Sorry!

Yes, I also had trouble with this product! And I am stuck with an unused canister also. I will not purchase this again and I would advise anyone considering it to just pass it up. I feel it is a very inferior product. Like you, after fussing with it I got the first canister connected and it worked fine, but I will not buy anymore! I would suggest to anyone trying to train a cat to go with the scatmats... they are pricey, but they do work. I bought just one and keep moving it around. Hope this helps!

It might be a huge help, but the best way to tell is to try it. I found it worked wonders for a very anti-social kitty that had been abused. VERY calming.We'd worked with him for almost a year with little success. We'd done everything to make him feel loved and secure but he was still quite aggressive with my other cats. He wasn't spraying, just being aggressive or hiding. Spraying can be due to so many other factors that its harder to eliminate, but this does have a calming effect on kitty and might make it easier to give him the meds. Is there other animals outside that he can see or smell that are making him anxious and protecting his territory? Its the most common reason for spraying if there is no illness present to cause it. These supplements are a great place to start, but you will need to investigate what is making him insecure so he feels the need to mark territory. Jackson Galaxy has some great cat advice videos on utube, his TV show, "My Cat From Hell" has some good techniques that will help you. Pam Hohnson-Bennett has some great cat advice books that you can find used on Amazon that are game changers. Solving your fur child's problem will require some thought and effort on your part, but every moment you spend will be worth it, repaid in unconditional love for the rest of his life. Please do not give up on your baby and dump him in a shelter, this can be fixed. The love you will get (not to mention good karma:) is more than worth the effort and expense. Much good luck and love, hugs and purrs from the Crazy Catlady!

Absolutely works! I have 2 declawed cats, sisters 4-yrs old! They were fine and trained until my 2 grand puppies came to Christmas last yr. This whole past yr I have been struggling to get them to quit peeing outside the litter box. Finally I saw the Cat Attract Cat Litter on Amazon and bought it. The first time I put it in their litter boxes they were attracted to it and have been peeing in the litter box not outside! It's as if there is something in it that pulls them into the litter! I've been buying it ever since!

Yes!!!!!! I run a rescue and volunteer as a foster for the local shelter. I have had nearly all adventurous kittens under 8 weeks slip out, kittens can squeeze into tiny places. Older kittens climb over. I use it mainly for the special needs kittens
