Transitioning your cat kid to Naturally Fresh 

Cat litter training tips

Wondering how to get your cat to use the litter box? Cats instinctively bury their business in nature to hide their scent from predators, so using a litter box often comes naturally. And because Naturally Fresh is made from walnut shells, it speaks more to their DNA than clay litter, making it an easier cat litter transition. 

If you’re bringing a new cat kid home or training your kitten to use the litter box, make sure you: 

• Have one litter box for each cat, plus one extra.
• Set up the litter box (or multi-cat litter boxes) away from noisy areas.
• Show them the litter box right away so they know where to go.
• Choose a litter box that’s the right size for your cat kid.
• Use 3 inches of Naturally Fresh cat litter, scooping regularly and replacing litter to maintain freshness.

How to transition to Naturally Fresh gradually 

Making the transition from clay to walnut shell litter? Switching from corn litter, wheat litter, paper litter, pine pellet litter, or tofu litter? No matter which type of cat litter you’re replacing, it’s important to make the switch gradually – otherwise, your cat kids could be startled by the change and avoid the litter box. 

• Place 1–2 inches of Naturally Fresh in a clean litter box.
• Top it off with your current litter so it covers the new litter.
• Each time you change the litter, reduce the amount of your current litter while increasing the amount of Naturally Fresh.

Cats took to it quickly

I have 4 cats and currently use a clay litter. I kept one litter box with just the clay litter and gradually introduced this litter in with the clay litter to the other boxes to get them used to it. The other boxes are now at 90% walnut and 10% clay. The cats are using the litter. I like that there is no dust and it absorbs well.
