I use Yesteday News which is pelleted litter made from recycled newspaper. They also have pelleted pine litter. The pellets are bigger and don’t track out of the litter box, and don’t stick to their feet. I use just a small amount and clean it daily. I also have a robot vacuum and it vacuums daily on a schedule so the house is clean without me having to do it. The vacuum was one of my favorite purchases ever! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for your cat.

Poor Master Shake! It sounds like he is really stressed about the change of people in the house, the other cat, and maybe even a new environment if y'all have recently moved in with your fiance'. I would start by ensuring your have multiple litterboxes. I would also putting some feliway diffusers throughout the house. This is a cat pheromone that will sometimes help to calm a cat down and help with inappropriate urination. You may also consider putting her on vetriscience's composure chews. If these don't work, I would talk to your vet about starting him on an anti-anxiety medicine like amitryptilline. I have had great success with this to help calm cats down and help them adjust to stressful situations. I hope this helps!

Usually a behavior change like this is related to stress. Any changes or stressors in the house lately? Guests for the holidays? You traveled and left her while you were out of town? You just moved? New pets? Stray cats hanging out around outside the house? Regardless, I would try to use a product to decrease stress and do some environmental enrichment for her. This is the best product to decrease stress and calm cats - Feliway. https://www.feliway.com/us#redirected https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/comfort-zone-diffuser-with-feliway-for-cats Here is an article on environmental enrichment for cats: http://www.catbehaviorassociates.com/what-is-environmental-enrichment-and-why-does-your-cat-need-it/ Hope this helps.

It looks like you have tried a lot of foods! Some cats are extremely picky. The most palatable high quality brands are Royal Canin, Purina ProPlan and Nutro. You likely need to very slowly transition the diet. https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-change-your-cats-food/ You may need an even slower transition. I hope this helps.

It's worth a shot to see if it is just the brand rather than the litter format. As cats can be picky about litter types, be sure to do a gradual changeover to the new litter to prevent Olivia from avoiding it or using elsewhere to go potty. A litter mat outside of the box may also help wipe her feet and fur some, reducing the spread throughout the house.
