Kitty Potty Training

Also when the cat is used to the bowl I move to a strainer, so the cat is used to the sound & 'plopping' effect. Then I start making holes in the strainer...

the east wat to maKE THE hole is by burning 'outside of your house' :)

Hi Julie,
I am trying the exact same method, Have the same sitz bath, Problem is that when I go to the stage with the hole the cat poops on the floor. I keep taping up the hole and going back a stage. Do you think he will eventually poop in the hole if I give him more time with it?

Hi Sharkman, well you have to try to think like a cat. Something is spooking her. What's making her think the floor is better than the sitz bath with the hole. Is there cat litter around the rim of the hole? It's hard to coach you without more details. Do you reward Kitty every time she goes in the toilet with or without the hole? Go to Yahoo Groups and look up Cats T-Training. They have members who are willing to help you! Good luck.

Thanks Julie, very helpful.

hey julie i've been training my cat for about a month and now i'm in the stage where u cut a whole in the sitz bath , the problem is my cat isn't goin through the hole she avoids the whole , what should i do to make her go in the hole ?

I don't know exactly how to solve this without seeing the situation. You should just join the Yahoo! Group "Cats T-Training" on Yahoo. Ask them the question and they can answer it for you! That's where I learned everything about how to toilet train your cat by yourself. Sorry I can't have this discussion on youtube, but they will definitely be able to help you solve the problem of the cat avoiding the hole.
Best of luck!!! -Julie animal1logic

Maybe the hole is too big. Start over with a new sitz bath. Make the hole gradually bigger each week, but make the change so small she can't notice it. You have to trick her. Make sure you put cat litter in the sitz bath so she still thinks of it as a cat box. Some will go down the hole. That's okay. By the end you'll have a token amount of litter around a big hole and she should be pooping in the hole.

we are currently using this great method and my 2 cats are taking to it very well we actually skipped step one with the tolit seat on the litter box and it still worked with just using the sitz bath!!!we are still in the midst of training but it all seems to be going very smoothly thanx for the tips!!!

plop plop:)...was try to use the toilet paper too!:)...how cute and funny :)
