Thread: litter kwitter

I wouldn't touch Ginger's snowshoes unless the problem presents itself & it would appear to make life easier for her, I am sure that I haven't read of any others on here who have used the litter kwitter having to do this,have you looked up that thread to see if there are any other helpful hints....? x

Best of luck to you! This is the first I've heard of the product...must try it out!

inexcelsis, I will keep her progress, posted! My hubby says if I can pull this off he will announce to the world what an amazing wife he has hahaha thanks for the luck!

Well the litter kwitter is on the loo now, she is very good at pooing but she pees near the edge and we had a "miss" last night. Oh heck that is to be expected, cleaned up the spill and move on. It is a messy process but not too bad yet, fingers are crossed. I am going to stay with this stage a couple of weeks before moving to the orange ring! Fingers crossed!

Hi there,
I meant the fur on the underside of his feet between the toes that cover the pads. The pads are where cats sweat from - why they usually pong therefore they are usually slightly damp and the leather is consequently ever so slightly stickier - like damp leather gloves. It could just be that he was a little clumsier than my Burmese who is less than half his size & much daintier. Argentium does have huge feet that he still regularly falls over.
Lithium being so small could wee in the 2nd green ring - forgot to ask, do you have the extender rings ? there are an extra orange & an extra green which make the steps more gradual. Argentium is so long, he usually made it through the hole, just because that was where he was naturally positioned. They still occassionally give themselves almost whiplash when they hear the noise
Good luck & remember a cat will only try to help you so far, then you're on your own

Hi thank you for the comments! Ginger's fur is pretty thick on her feet between her toes, but she is very agile. I have all the rings that came with the kit, we are on the first solid ring, getting used to jumping up on the toilet. I am going to leave that on for a couple weeks. I think the hard part is taking the time to let the kitty get used to each step. I really want to hurry her along, but everyone stresses patience! This step is pretty messy, and I am switching to a biodegradable litter made from crushed walnuts. I do not think she has noticed the litter change. So far, so good!

Hey mom, there is a hole in my litter box!
Yep, there is definately a hole in there, and water!!!!! omgosh, how fun is that??? I love to play in the water! Needless to say, mom had some clean up after this little adventure

Cant give you any advice cos I am an expectant mum, but I never knew you could train them to go to the loo. I am reading this thread with great interest, but mostly I am wishing you good luck and look forward to hear how you get on x

jckkerrison, Yes I have and I have watched youtube videos! I am currently a full time cat mum, so I have lots of time on my hands! I think the way she stands with her front feet on the edge of her box she should be fine. Ginger has her checkup from her spaying today, wow that was a fast two weeks and she is back to her little "MONSTER" self. I think she just started jumping on the top of our kitchen trash can, so she should be able to navigate the "loo" easily enough.
This is where we are at now...she loves to kick that litter around! But in her defense, it takes lot of litter to cover that scent, phew!
This is the next step, perhaps next week?
