We recently purchased a new washer and dryer. They are different than our old ones. They...



Frankly, I’d move the litter box out of the laundry room at least for the time being. Until Mickey accepts the new appliances--which may never happen--you’ll fight a losing battle trying to get him to use facilities next to something that flat-out scares him.

He may also have decided that the old litter box has something to do with the scary sounds/smells. So you may need to purchase a new litter box that has no negative associations, and set it up on the opposite side of the house. A product called Dr. Elsey’s Litter Attract works very well to lure these kitties back into good bathroom behavior, so you might purchase a small amount at a pet products store and sprinkle some of this on top of the regular litter Mickey already uses. Leave the old box where it is, keeping it very clean. With a choice in bathroom locations, Mickey may very well decide to return to the laundry room eventually. Good luck!
