A new litter box changes a familiar part of your cat's routine. The goal is not to make the change quickly. It is to make the new option predictable.
Start with the power off
Place the automatic box near the familiar box on a stable, dry surface. Leave it powered off and let your cat inspect it voluntarily. Avoid placing your cat inside.
Keep the familiar option
Maintain the old box during transition. Continue the cleaning routine your cat already knows while the new box becomes part of the room.
Introduce movement gradually
Only enable automatic operation after your cat is comfortable around the unit and meets the product manual's age and weight limits. Observe the first cycles and pause if your cat becomes wary.
Expect individual timing
Some cats investigate quickly; others need more time. No product can guarantee adoption. Keep the process calm, clean, and reversible.
