Litter Kwitter - Teach your cat to use the toilet?

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

Until about 2 hours ago when I stumbled across a video on You Tube about the Litter Kwitter the toilet training system for cats, the thought of cats using human toilets never crossed my mind.  My cats use a litter tray and it’s not something I look forward to dealing with, but it has to be done. But if I knew where to begin with toilet training cats then surely it would be worth a try.

Then I started to think of the benefits of not having to clean out a litter tray, no smelly surprises to clean up, no cat litter flicked across the floor, no big bag of cat litter taking up space in a kitchen cupboard.  So if I could train my cats to use the toilet like the rest of the family would it be worth it?  I reckon it would. So where to begin with toilet training my cats.

So I did a bit more research and found the following video which explains how to use Litter Quitter to make toilet training cats easy, apparently in only 3 simple steps.

Before watching the video on how to train your cat to use the toilet with Litter Kwitter, I was worrying about how small kittens would cope with toilet training, maybe they would lose their balance and fall into the toilet.  But I think even smallish cats could use this system with ease.

Cat Behaviour - Waking you up

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Cats have particular behaviour traits and the more time you spend with your cat, the quicker you’ll learn what your cat is trying to tell you via their behaviour. For example on of my cats craves attention, she’s not fussy who gives it as long as someone does. However if she’s deemed that you actually have 2 spare hands and your only using one to stroke her, she will demand that you use both hands. She has a certain meow to get your attention and she makes it very clear what she wants. If you’re reading she’ll sit on your book and when I’m on the laptop my cat will sit on my knee so I can’t see the keys.

Each cat will have their own specific behaviours to communicate their needs, whether they’re pawing at your face to make you get out of bed in the morning, or using something else as a toilet when they’ve deemed their litter tray isn’t clean enough. The more you pay attention to this type of communicative cat behaviour the more you will understand your cat and your relationship with grow with this understanding.

Like humans cats have different personalities which impact on their behaviour. I have 2 cats, one is very communicative, and I know by her behaviour whether she wants food, her belly stroked or whether she just wants peace and quiet. The other is very hyper, she has a very short attention span and it’s far more difficult to understand what she wants. However I have discovered that she only likes her head been stroked and she’s very indecisive.

The following video is an animation of a cat and its owner that I was sent on Facebook. It shows how demanding and stubborn cat’s can really be. I thought it was very typical cat behaviour, something most cat owners can relate to and incredibly funny. Let me know what you think.
