The Litter Kwitter!!

[wunslooth]

Using the given toilet inserts to slowly train the cat to use the human toilet.

Cat Shat in the bathtub this morning. Back a stage I think, trying to move too fast maybe. But hey! could have been worse than the Tub.

anyone have a success story with the "as seen on tv" Litter Kwitter?

It comes with a funny DVD of cats pooping in the toilet. . . . .
unless your too mature for that kind of thing.

I am not an indoor cat person, but even moreso, I am NOT too mature for funny vids of cats pooping in toilets.

[MatticusMania]

Id rather not share a toilet with my cats...

Jazz bassist Charles Mingus was a man of many talents, including teaching his cat, Nightlife, to sch!tt in the toilet.

That said, from what I've heard, the microbes in cat dookie should not be going into the public sewer system.

No sir, I am not

I need to get my cat to stop crapping in my bed first.

I haven't tried that yet. I used to have a cat that used the toilet. I haven't gotten the two I have now trained for that though. It would require leaving the lid up, and when I do that the dog thinks it's his water bowl. Win some lose some, I guess.

Trying to understand what people find wrong with animal drinking out of the toilet, can someone explain it to me?

I'f I left the toilet seat down my cats would die of thirst.
It's cleaned with a non toxic cleaner weekly and flushed very often and refilled with clean chlorine disinfected water so I don;t see the big deal.

Really, This microbes info is news to me! I imagine they have good research for all that and all. Its just hard to imagine cat poop being a major threat to the sewer microbe population.

fascinating! I might just have research THIS further, Even if it means leaving Talkbass!

It's not that the critters using the toilet as a water bowl is necessarily a bad thing. It's just a habit I'd prefer my dog doesn't develop because I don't want him fussing at a guest who needs to use the toilet. He's protective of his water and food bowls. If he claims the toilet, too, it's a three mile drive down the road to the gas station.

Do you not have a back yard? That's where cats are supposed to poop.

Nope, No back yard. Indoor cat only. (live on busy street)

Hmm,

FS/FT New Zealand Cat, Trained to use Human shower!!

Will consider trades for a Goldfish thats toilet trained!

We tried the Litter Kwitter but it was not a success. Starting with the first stage, where you have the gizmo full of cat litter sitting on the toilet, the cat would pee in the litter but she would not poop in it. So we never got around to getting to phase 2 where you open a small hole in the middle.

SWMBO now wants to spend a bloody fortune on the Cat Genie. I've read a lot of bad reviews on that so I've had some serious arguments with her over it.

But, if the cats poop/pee in the toilet AND the dog drinks out of said toilet, that seems like a problem to me.

I just read this article in Smithsonian magazine about how toxoplasma gondii (probably from flushed cat poop) is harming the California sea otter population.

Some people are weird and let their dogs lick them in the face and mouth. They think it's "cute". I think it's horribly disgusting. Dogs don't just drink out of the toilet, they also lick themselves. In some particularly nasty places. But then again, i've licked some women in some nasty places...

I used a toilet thing like that when my cats were kittens. It worked until I started getting near the edge of the toilet, then they just gave up. Best of luck.

[tastybasslines]

I trained my old cat, Bentley, to do that. You don't need a "kit". It's simple really.

Put the litter box next to the toilet. Add a book a day underneath the litterbox until it is even with the toilet seat. Leave it there for a few days for him to get used to the seat and the area. When he is, remove the litter box all together and put plastic wrap over the toilet seat and spread litter on it. Let this also become standard practice for him. He will become good at balancing on the seat. Then, when ready, remove the plastic wrap all together and watch the magic.
