This is weird… take a deep breath because this is really weird! 🙂

Do you have a cat? Does he live in your house? If so you can’t but love it as you created a special relationship with him since it entered your home and actually took possession of it. 😉

So do I with my cat Willy and if you too have a cat then we have a little problem in common: the litter!

You have to take care of it, keeping it clean, regularly refilling it with new sand and disposing of your pet’s waste since it can’t do that by himself.

And here comes the solution: it’s named Litter Kwitter and it’s meant to gradually train your cat to use the toilet!

Well, I told you this was pretty weird… as weird as a genial solution to a common problem that no one has thought of yet can be.

The idea of the Litter Kwitter came to the australian entrepreneur Jo Lapidge by watching the movie with Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro, Meet the Parents. In the movie you can see the superb performance of the cat, Mr. Jinks, using De Niro’s toilet.

So Jo designed a system to train a pet to do the same. There are three steps to follow to make him getting used to climb onto the toilet pan, putting the claws in the right position, keeping steady and quietly performing his intimate business.

The three stages are well explained on the Litter Kwitter official website and in the DVD included with the package.

I purchased it since I was amazed by this idea and the advantages resulting from a successful training: no more litter and a bit more hygiene at home!

Cats are smart, you know that very well if you live with one, or even more than one, but they are also creatures of habit, so you should proceed very carefully with this method if you want to obtain a positive result.

Willy is doing well, he’s still at the red stage, almost ready to go to the amber one, and with patience and the right encouragement I think he’ll be fully trained within a few weeks.

Thanks to Jo for her invention then, now I wonder if she’ll come out with a new method to train cats to flush the water toilet also!

Love your cat, they’re so special.
