One night at beer tasting party, a friend of a friend pulled out her iphone and we all crowded around to watch a video of her cat pooping in a toilet. I do not know what prompted her to show this video. I'm pretty sure that there's something about having a cat that uses the toilet that makes you want to share videos of the cat's bowel movements with near strangers. But there we were. 12 of us. Watching her cat poo.
My first thought was... there is something seriously wrong with us. My second thought was... I wonder if I can teach my cats to do this. So I went online and bought the stuff. And then spent two weeks coming to terms with the idea of sharing a toilet with two cats. And now I am ready to begin the experiment.
Now according the the cat potty training system I'm using, training a cat to use the toilet consists of turning your toilet into a litter box and then once a week removing a section from the middle of the "litter box" so that they gradually adjust to using the toilet. This is the pan:
I think if I designed it I would make the holes a little rounder. This pan seems awkwardly suggestive.
The process requires flushable litter, so I went to a neighborhood store and got Swheat Scoop (a wheat based cat litter).
This may have been a mistake as when I poured it into the pan, Bear started to eat it.
Seriously... my cat tried to eat the litter.
