Love Your Cat, Hate Its Litter

This is weird, take a deep breath because this is really weird! :)
Do you have a cat? Does it live in your house? If so you can’t but love it as you created a special relationship with it 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 itself.
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 warned 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, actually using De Niro’s toilet.
So Jo designed a particular system to train your pet to do the same thing. There are three steps to follow to make it getting used to climbing onto the toilet pan, putting its claws in the right position, steadying itself and quietly performing its intimate business.
The three stages are well explained on the Litter Kwitter official website and in the DVD that comes with the actual 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 in the house!
Cats are really smart, you know it full 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’d like to obtain a positive result.
Willy is doing well, he’s still at the red stage, almost ready to proceed 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 patented method to train cats to flush the water toilet also! :mrgreen:
I told you it was weird!
Love your cat, they’re so special.
