09/08/04 Day 1 |
Change their litter box next to the toilet |
Before:
After:
|
We’re using “Pet essential” litter (generic Target brand) |
|
09/17/04 Day 9 |
We changed the "regular" litter for the new one crystal litter. |
|
Our cats didn’t mind this change, they started using the litter box with the new crystal sand right away. |
|
09/23/04 Day 15 |
The new toilet seat arrived, yeah!!!
We are going to change the litter box for the new “Feline Evolution CatSeat”
|
Good bye old litter box! Sniff..
Hey! What is that??
|
The cats are very interested in the new seat toilet. As always, they have to know everything. |
| Same day |
Replacing the old litter box for the new toilet seat "Feline Evolution" with plenty of crystal litter. |
Oh! I get it…. Is this where I suppose to go uh?
|
We are using the same crystal litter. Panzin & Chamoy are hanging around the new toilet seat with litter Come Panzin, look at it!
|
| Same day |
Watching this process |
Let me try this.
|
Panza used the toilet right away, in the correct position. That wasn’t that bad, I still can cover it.
|
| Same day | Now is Chamoy's turn |
Okay, I need to figure how it works.
|
Chamoy positioned himself correctly, but he didn’t go. Maybe he was not comfortable with the new toilet, or he just didn't need to go, let see what happen. Okay, I understand, but I don’t want to go.
|
|
09/24/04 Day 16 |
In the following days we slowly started to reduce the litter. |
*Not picture was taken at this time.* |
Chamoy hold it in for more than 24 hours. He finally went. His position was 3 of four paws in the toilet ring. |
|
09/25/04 Day 17 |
We raised the toilet seat. |
|
The Cats reacted good, they didn’t mind this change at all. We just opened the seat legs, about 3 inches above the floor. With this change we gave them a treat. |
| 9/30/04 Day 22 |
When the crystal litter is below the retractable shelves (the black ones), we pull the cord and place the black shelves into place. Making it a little whole. |
|
With this change, Chamoy always seats correctly. With all 4 paws outside the hole. |
| 10/06/04 Day 28 |
Fixed the toilet seat in the actual toilet, it still has the white bottom with crystal litter. Not too much litter. We continue to reduce the ammount of litter to almost nothing. |
|
This was normal for them. They simple jump on it, snif, walk around and around and went.
|
|
10/9/04 Day 31 |
Almost no litter in the white tray. |
*Not picture was taken at this time.* You wouldn't want to watch it anyway. |
That day was very nasty. They would get all dirty while trying to cover after going #1. |
|
10/10/04 Day 32 |
We remove the white tray. |
|
The water is in plain site. Cross your fingers... |
| Same day at night | Panza goes #1 | He tried to go several times, until the 3rd time, he went. Hurray! | |
|
10/11/04 Day 33 |
Chamoy goes #1 and #2 | Chamoy was crying and looking for his litter box, he was snooping around where his old sand tray used to be. We decided to lock him in the bathroom. After 30 mins or so.... He went #1 like a litter! Poor thing, and when we went to let him out. What a wonderful surprise! He went #2 also. Yippie! This was at 5am in the morning. I was so happy I could not go to sleep. We cheer him, and congratulate him, we gave him a treat, we were so happy. Chamoy was like: "What's going on?" | |
|
10/12/04 Day 34 |
Chamoy goes #2 in the floor |
We
saw that chamoy was behacing suspeciously. He started howling. We locked
him in the badroom and voila! He went in the floor  . |
|
| Same day | 2 blocks with litter. |
|
Since
Chamoy went in the floor and Panza hold #2 in for more than 2 days. We
decided to use the 2 blocks. This 2 blocks go in the middle, blocking the
water view. We locked Panza in the bathroom and he went!  |
| Still under construction... |
Here there is a discussion list about training cats to use toilets rather than litter boxes:
