Thread: The Litter kwitter!!!

Questions which beg to be asked... How on earth do you 'show' them what to do?
Also, what does amber / red etc mean and why do you need to move them from one stage onto the next? Surely when they are pooping / peeing on the toilet, thats job done?

Tomiam: As Winston was already litter trained I swopped the L.K for his old litter tray leaving it on the floor of the bathroom beside the toilet. There are 3 stages to using it and if you look at this video you will see how the different stages work.

After the litter kwitter was on the ground for 1 day, I placed it on the toilet with a step for Winston to use (he is still pretty small). I then got some treats and got him to jump up on the litter kwitter with the promise of a treat. He was using it straight away! It's the easiest stage to use and he had no reservation about hopping up on the toilet to use his litter tray

The amber stage will be more of a challenge as this is where you replace the red disc insert with an amber disc, which has a small hole cut out in it. This is to train the kitty to poop and pee in the toilet whilst balancing themselves. Apparently this is the stage where they rebel most until they get the hang of it!

I do think this sounds a great idea if it works. I'm sure with a lot of time and effort it probably does but think you probably need a lot of time and dedication to teach them. Wouldn't work for me though as the cat would need to open doors too to get to the toilets in the house! Maybe hoping for too much there I think

I will be starting the LK this week! Hank seems to have no problem jumping on the toilet (without the LK of course). He's comfy with the whole house layout now so I guess it's a great time to start. I shall let you all know how we get on!

Keep us posted on your progress. I used one of those storage clippy boxes that you pick up in Homebase for the step. He likes to roll around on it after using the LK.
The treats are the best way to guide him onto the loo but it sounds he pretty much knows where it is so you'll hav eno problems on that score

Good luck.

We're on the 3rd week of training Hank to use the LK. I have now put the tray on the toilet (still with the red tray) and he seem to use it no problem. So we'll see if we can get him to stage 2 (orange) soon. It's looking very promising!
