Again once you are at the stage of ignoring the change you are ready to proceed.
New litter box transition. Mix in about one fifth new litter with the old brand. You can then get rid of the outdated one. My cats took to it with ease.

If this continues you can bring the old litter box back to give your cat a break and then repeat the process again after a day or two.
