"Introducing a new litter box to your cat? Fear not! These proven methods will help your feline friend adapt to the Els Pet litter box in no time:

Leave it turned off:
Start by keeping the smart litter box turned off to prevent startling your cat. Once they've used it, activate it for a cleaning cycle. Encourage your cat to be present during this to familiarize them with its motion and sounds while you're there to reassure them.

Stop scooping the old box:
Place the Els Pet litter box near the old one without discarding the old box yet. Add a bit of the old litter to the new box to provide a familiar scent. Let waste accumulate in the old box gradually to make it less appealing, motivating your cat to use the new one.

Create positive associations:
If your cat seems uninterested, use catnip or treats to entice them near the Els Pet litter box. Place treats around the box, associating rewards with the new space. Reward your cat with treats, playtime, and affection when they use the new litter box.

Make it attractive:
Consider using cat-attracting products or additives in the litter. Ensure the Els Pet litter box is easily accessible and not placed in a corner that might make your cat feel trapped. Try opening the safety door to make the installation more inviting, as cats are naturally curious and love exploring boxes."
