Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | 5 years and 7 months old
I bought new covered litter boxes. My cats have never used those before. I can't use the same rooms inhaled the old ones in, due to these are much larger. How do I make them use the new covered boxes?

This could be tough if the cats have never used covered boxes before. If you have any of the used litter from the old boxes, put this in the boxes so it has their scent. Make sure to use the same type and brand of cat litter. It may help to leave the boxes uncovered for a few days o allow the cats to get in the habit of using the new boxes, then put the cover on. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
