Stressed cat not using litter box. Is lavender oil safe for calming?
Hello. In general, the use of essential oils is contraindicated for indoor pets. If you keep the windows open for plenty of fresh air it kind of defeats the purpose of the lavender. A better option is to use a cat appeasing pheromone. I like Feliway as you plug it into an outlet in as many rooms as Shadow occupies, & it emits a undetectable scent that has calming properties to cats. I would also start him on a calming supplement like Zylkene made by Vetoquinol. Lastly, make sure Shadow is not having actual physical problems in the litter box. You do not say if his issues are with defecation or urination, but some male cats can develop a form of cystitis that if not addressed quickly can result in a urinary blockage, a life threatening condition. If he is defecating outside the box, adding another box in another location, using a product called Cat Attract in the box, & the Feliway often helps.

What safe air fresheners can I use near my cat's litter box?
The only air "fresheners" we worry about with cats are essential oils. I've included more information about that below. http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/blog/essential-oils-cats/ Any other air fresheners are fine unless your cat has asthma or is sensitive to certain scents. Don't forget that cats' sense of smell is much better than ours, so an air freshener that is too strong can actually deter a cat from wanting to go in the room with it. The most important thing in keeping the room smelling good is scooping the litter box at least once daily and cleaning the entire thing (changing the litter completely) at least once weekly. I also noticed that you have Creamcicle listed at unneutered. Getting him neutered will also decrease the odor of his urine which might be helpful. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your question. Thanks for using PetCoach.

Is scented cat litter safe for my allergic cat with skin issues?
I would not use a litter that has an aroma on a cat who is sensitive. I am not sure if you are able to purchase this certain litter system but if you are able to the Breeze litter system is great. It has pellets, not litter and when they pee it goes to a pad underneath. https://www.amazon.com/gp/css/homepage.html/ref=nav_youraccount_ya I use this for my cat and there is no dust, no smell and no tracking. Thank you for using PetCoach.

New cat won't use unscented litter box, pees in shower. What to do?
I love that you have already switched to the unscented litter as that can be a big problem for many cats. Putting the litter box in the shower is a great idea. I would also make sure to clean up the spots he went outside the litterbox using an enzymatic pet stain cleaner to ensure he does not keep smelling urine/feces there and think that it is akin to a litterbox. Other things, like cleaning the litter box often, having multiple litterboxes which are different types of boxes, and trying different types of litter (such as fine-grain litter) may also help you figure out what type of litter Mittens likes. While it certainly sounds like Mittens is having trouble getting used to his new litterbox, it is important to remember that internal diseases (like organ, hormonal, or orthopedic diseases, among other possible causes) can cause Mittens to have a hard time making it into the litterbox so it is important to take Mittens to your vet for evaluation to make sure we are not missing something else that is making it hard for Mittens to make it to the litterbox. I have attached a link to an article with more great suggestions below. Good luck! https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-train-your-cat-to-use-a-litter-box/

How to help my anxious cat use litter box and get along with others?
The older cat probably has the smaller, younger one intimidated. I suggest providing more litter boxes, maybe one the smaller cat has exclusive access to. To avoid behavior problems due to territorialism, the rule of thumb is one litter box per cat, plus one, that way no cat can 'guard' all the boxes and limit access to the others. Make sure the timid cat has plenty of places to hide, perch, separate food and water sources if needed, anything to help her relax and be able to be less intimidated by the other. Also, make sure the older cats get plenty of attention, playtime, treats, to help them stay calmer and less likely to lash out. Calming diets are also available, if you have not tried them yet. Royal Canin and Science Diet both have well-received diets of this kind. A good source of additional information about how to help cats get along and how to make your house more appealing and enjoyable for your cats is Jackson Galaxy's Catification books.
