It has been a week since I told you about the arrival of The Litter Kwitter in my home. It has been somewhat of a challenge...as I expected...simply because I have 3 ladies to train. My oldest cat, 9 years old, is grasping it pretty well. Not wonderfully but, still better than the others. I can't be sure but, I think my youngest cat has used it. As for the middle child, almost 9 years old, I don't believe she has used it at all.
I am on stage 2 of the first step. I moved the Litter Kwitter from the floor next to the toilet to its rightful place, on top of the toilet and...to my delight, Saturday morning I woke up to see that someone had made tinkle in it! I was thrilled!
I still have one litter box in the house. It is downstairs and, it is being used as the primary box. I let it get stinky and that just didn't really even matter. Then, because we couldn't stand the overwhelming stink, I emptied the box and just left it litterless overnight. The ladies made #1 in it but no #2 and only one of them dared to #2 in the Litter Kwitter, which at the time was still on the floor. So, I had to fill the box up with litter again. I am loathe to completely take away the box because, I fear the repercussions. I fear that there will be urine and poo everywhere. I also loathe doing what the instructions tell me to do and locking them all in the bathroom overnight, or for any period of time longer than a couple minutes as I fear that they might make massive damage trying to scratch the way out, and 2 of them might kill one another. I question whether I should lock them up, one at a time, for a few hours each but, even that seems terrifying.
I really want this to work. It already has to some degree. But, I don't feel far enough in progress to be too tickled by the results...just yet.
I might take away the litter box downstairs for the evening hours after I get home from work until I got to bed. I feel that is the only way that this might really jump start any progress.
Wish me luck!
