CitiKitty Cat Toilet Training Kit (One Pack)

Here is a detailed review of the process so far. I will edit it again when the conversion process is done. Here's a little background info. Nyan was 16 weeks when we started this. He was using a traditional litter box with no issue. He is at home alone all day and has full run of the house. Whenever we make a change we close off access to all rooms except the common areas to that there is less chance of him making a mistake in one of those rooms. About the product: On first inspection...the plastic tray seemed cheap and I thought my cat would freak out because it was a bit wobbly. But it did it's job no problem. Besides, it is just going to get cut up, washed and recycled, so it didn't need to be super heavy duty plastic. The wobbliness really does help the cat get used to balancing on the edge. Week 1 - Sunday, Litter box in the same room with the City Kitty tray in place...with litter. About Day three (Tuesday) I placed him on top of the toilet in the tray and guided his paw through the litter, so he knew it was there. On Thursday morning, I removed the litter box altogether. Goodbye you stinky, gross thing. Kitty was doing his business in the tray. He got into a routine. I'd come to check the tray for waste, he'd hop up there do his thing when he was done. I'd clean it up and I'd give him a treat. Thursday evening, I removed the smallest insert. The cat didn't even notice. We stayed like that for 2 more days. Week 2 - Sunday, I removed the second insert. No big deal. Kitty used it just like a regular litter box. He was a little unhappy with the small amount of litter, but by Monday evening he didn't care. At this point he only does his business when I'm downstairs, cause he knows he's going to get a treat. :) Week 3 - Removing the third insert Sunday evening. We stayed at this phase for 2 weeks. Kitty was very interested in what was in the hole and put his paw down in the water a few times. No mistakes. The hole was big enough to put the clumps and poo down so I made sure to let him see me do that and then flushed the toilet. Mind you he's just in the room when I do this. Not on the toilet. However, he started hopping up there and watching. Week 5 - Removing the 4th insert, caused a bit of confusion. The hole was big enough for him to put his head down in there. Which he did. He also got his tail wet a few times. During the 6th week, we went away for a 5 days and my roommate was in charge of flushing and filling the litter tray. Kitty decided he would rebel and poo'd in the trash can and once on the floor. Mind you. This was only poo. He has been peeing directly in the toilet successfully with no issue since the first day we removed the 3rd insert and the whole time we were gone. When we came home. I went and checked the toilet to see if I needed to fill litter or flush. I put some litter in and he hoped up on the toilet an started doing his business in the toilet. So I think the mistakes were caused by the change in our routine. So, I'd advise users to only start the process if you're able to keep a good routine. Note, he was not punished when he made a mistake. The roommate just made sure that kitty saw him pick up the poo, stick it in the toilet and flush. Flushing has become a really exciting time for kitty. he loves to watch the water and stuff go down. We stayed on this stage for another week for a total of 3 to make sure he was okay with it. I think letting them see the poo and clumps go down in the hole and hearing the small splash helps them understand that it is "normal" and good when this happens. Week 8 - 5th insert out. We now have only about an inch round ring of litter left. Kitty cried and scratched at the small amount of litter in the tray and he held his waste in for longer than usual. However, I put him up there and guided his paw in the small ring of litter, like I did in the beginning and he finally went directly in the toilet. Of course he comes over begging for a treat right after. I'm going to leave it on this stage for about 4 weeks. I think this is the hardest step for him, but he's getting there. Also, I moved more quickly through the first couple of stages because Nyan really didn't seem phased. When we got to the last three inserts, I've given him more time to adjust, because I started to notice he was a little more hesitant. Don't rush your cat. Follow the directions included if you think your cat is not adjusting as well. This process requires patience. Which I had to learn during this time. Word to the hyper clean people. Like me :). This is a messy process. Litter will get everywhere. I kept a small dustpan and broom nearby to sweep up the mess. If there is litter on the floor the kitty may get confused and think he is supposed to go where the litter is. So...clean it up daily...at least. That being said. It's so worth it. I'm a cat person but I cannot stand that "cat-in-the-house" smell. I've hosted two small get togethers since I started this process, people can't believe I have a cat. Unless he's gone to the toilet while they were there, they don't smell any "cat smell". Note: You will smell the poo right after the kitty goes, because the small amount of litter doesn't really provide the cat with the ability to cover it up well. So before the cat starts going in the hole...you will smell poo until you scoop the poo off the tray into the hole. My cat is on a high protein diet and Phew! It stinks during the phases where he's not going directly into the water, but as soon as it's flushed the smell is gone. Okay that's the update for now. Like I said, I'll update in about 4 weeks. I can't believe I wrote so much about something related to cat poo, but I can't say enough good things about this product. EDIT: It's been longer than 4 weeks. My cat seems stuck at this spot, if I take out the last ring he seems to have an issue with standing on the edge of the seat. Despite standing on it with no problem when the ring is there. I'll try again in a month or so. That being said. I still stand by this product. I still have no litter box. Just one toilet that is a little less convenient to use. EDIT: 3/22/2013 Kitty is using just the toilet now. It took a bunch of patience, but it's been so worth it.He will indiscriminately use any toilet for peeing, but he only poos in the toilet we trained him on.

The product is fine, but the issue falls with the punching out of the rings. The instructions state to punch each out as your cat seems ready to move on to the next level, BUT if you went too fast and need to go back to the previous level, naturally you cannot replace the punchout! Also the package insert advises you may want to punch out a half-ring if your cat is slower to catch on. There are no perforations to do a half-ring. Anyway, since cats cannot talk, if you misjudge their rate of progress and punch out the plastic ring, you cannot go back. This product can serve as a cheaper alternative to the more expensive kitty toilet training rings of various sizes. Obviously with those, you are paying for more sturdiness and the ability to back up to the previous size/level ring if needed. So, how did my cat do? She is age 9, and was only partially successful. It may work best with a kitten. My cat would urinate on CitiKitty fine, but would not defecate. She held it in all week and finally went just outside the bathroom door on the carpet. I cleaned and wanted to start again, but by day 3 I knew she would just go on the carpet again. :-( I have done a lot of internet research, and this is a common problem. (The competing product even has a forum with a post dedicated solely to this problem.) I am single and at work all day, so couldn't monitor her toilet trips like I read that other pet owners have. Nor did I feel comfortable locking her in the bathroom as some did. Plus I felt so awful knowing she must be so uncomfortable not wanting to use CitiKitty enough to hold it in all week! Bottom line, it's not just the product. It's your cat, and your dedication. This is an inexpensive alternative product if you want to try it out!

I purchased CitiKitty to toilet train my 1.5 year old, large breed, 17lb. Ragdoll cat named Griffin. I am beginning this review August 31, 2012 when my cat is over 3 weeks into toilet training and will complete my review when we have fully completed the training program. Before purchasing this training system, I read a lot of reviews and looked into other toilet training methods for my cat, but this one appeared to be the best, and so far, so good! Like other reviews, I was concerned that the somewhat flimsy plastic training system may not be suitable for my 17 lb. baby, but it worked and I decided to add "strength" by leaving the extra insert in for 1.5 weeks (more about that below). PRELIMINARY HELPS Even if you are uncertain whether or not you will use Citikitty or another toilet training system, I recommend you go ahead and purchase flushable litter and move your cat's litter pan next to the toilet. That way, when you are ready to begin toilet training, this is one step you can eliminate. Sometimes it takes time for cats to adjust to new litter and being next to the toilet! Begin by first mixing the flushable litter with the litter your using to get the cat used to it. Thankfully I've always used flushable litter and had my cat's litter pan right next to the toilet for easy flushing. So transitioning to the toilet seat wasn't as big of a deal. For those interested. I found SWheat litter to be a great flushable litter choice. Before you purchase a training system, you may also begin progressing to toilet training by gradually raising the height of the litter pan. Raising the litter pan height gets the cat used to having to "jump up" to go to the bathroom. Please make sure the litter pan is sturdy while raised. I used old encyclopedias to make it very level. You can raise it to the height of the toilet, but I honestly just raised it about half-way up beside the toilet. That way when my cat jumped into the litter box he could look over and see inside the toilet. TIME TO START WEEK 1--Transitioning cat to the toilet. Since my cat was large, I decided to add strength to the plastic training system by leaving the plastic training insert, creating a double layer of plastic support. The Citikitty system recommends that you remove the plastic insert and place it only if your cat regresses or needs to go back a step in the training process. However, I decided to leave it in and I think that was a wise decision. I wanted my cat to feel comfortable and more assure of the support. So week one is basically a small plastic litter pan sitting on the toilet with no holes punched. The goal is to get the kitty to actually use this pan. PATIENCE, LOVE, & REWARDS ARE THE KEY AT THIS STAGE. It took 28 hours before my cat used the litter pan on the toilet. During those 28 hours he meowed excessively and wanted to be held and kept coming to me. I probably picked him up 30 times that day and loved on him; I would then immediately place him on the toilet in the litter pan. Sometimes he would play in the litter, sometimes he would run from it. I kept reinforcing my love and kept showing him the litter pan. He didn't eat very well during those hours either. I wanted so bad to give in and give him his litter pan back. You must have patience with them! And if they use it, reward them with treats! :-) It took at least 4 days this first week for my cat to get more comfortable using the pan. He would at times hold his business longer just to avoid having to use the pan. Since week #1 was such a slow process for getting my cat comfortable, I decided to extend week #1 by a couple of days. This is important. You know your cat the best. Do NOT progress them if they are not secure and ready; otherwise your setting this training process up for failure. I read a review once about a woman who trained her cat in 3 weeks--happy for her, but not necessarily for her cat. Toilet training goes against cat's natural instinct and very foreign to them. If you care about your cat, give them plenty of time to adjust and learn to become secure with their new potty. Don't rush it. The tendency will be to rush things because toilet training is time-consuming and messy. Trust me, litter will get on the floor! WEEK 2--Hole #1/2-1 gone. Citikitty recommends punching out hole #1 for the second week. I was concerned that hole #1 was too big; then, I realized that the plastic insert had a smaller hole that was 1/2 the size! So, I started week #2 punching out hole #1 on the main training ring, then placing the training insert that only had 1/2 hole cut. This way, we still had the added strength support with the insert and a smaller hole to start out with!! This worked great. My cat didn't seem to mind at all. He was curious and pawed at the hole and knocked litter into the toilet, but then just used the bathroom! After 3 days, I felt my cat was ready for hole #1. I then removed the trainable insert that had the smaller hole which had also added stability for the past 1.3 weeks. I admit, I was anxious. Was he going to use it now? Was the training system stable enough for a 17lb cat? Yes it did! And then something wonderful happened! Definitely the stability was not as secure and with the hole getting larger; so my cat started to learn to stable himself on the toilet seat! You see, you really DON"T want the training system to be too secure. You WANT your cat to want to use the toilet seat to steady himself, for that is what he ultimately must learn to do! So, I realized that although the system seemed unsteady without the insert, this unsteadiness forced my cat to learn to use the toilet seat. However, the training system WILL support the cat; it just "gives" a little which makes the cat feel uneasy. This is a good thing, not bad. Week 3 -- hole #2 gone. Citikitty recommends punching out hole #2 for the third week, and I did this exactly. This hole is getting really big!! I was super worried and wondered if I should cut it in half. But I remembered that I did have the insert to add if necessary. I am proud to say that my cat adjusted well. It was funny at first. He literally stuck his head in the hole and stared for like 15 seconds and pawed at the hole! It was like he was wondering..."what happened?" I patiently waited, and it did seem that he held off his "business" for a little longer than usual, but soon he was there on the toilet seat using it like a big boy should! LOL The BEST part of this stage is that my cat has learned to efficiently balance himself on the toilet seat which has alined him just right to now do ALL his business straight into the toilet water. I no longer have to scoop anything out of the litter. He simply uses the bathroom into the water and throws some litter into the water! HA! This greatly reduces the amount of litter that gets on the floor! We are still in progress this week and will comment in about a week how things are going!!

So I saw this on shark Tank and I thought it was an excellent idea and something to try. I started using it with my two cats when is the Egyptian Mau full breed and the other one is a tabby cat it’s got a little bit of Egyptian Mau in her. The full-blooded Egyptian Mao is a kitten and when I started doing this was probably about seven months old. He did very well and except for one time when the toilet was otherwise occupied he went on the bed. that was a disaster because I had to then immediately remove and wash the sheets blanket etc. but fortunately I have a water proof liner underneath. So I went back to the last ring of Citi kitty which helped get him back on track then I got rid of it completely and started sprinkling litter directly on the toilet seat for a few weeks longer u til finally I stopped even that. Now he goes to the toilet and I just flush. However the older cat, who is about 12 years old, she didn’t take to it at all and started urinating and pooping where the cat box once was. So despite my beat efforts I could not get her on the Citi kitty. Even using the catnip over and over didn’t help. Nor did the picking her up. Briefly she started pooping and peeing in the shower next to the master bath toilet but inevitably ended up going back to the old spot. So what I’ve done for her is I’ve started using a small aluminum square pan, like a half hotel pan size and lining it with a wee wee pad which I purchase here for about $20 on amazon for 100 pads. She ends up pooping next to where she pees and goes to the wee wee pad lined pan (it’s a throw away pan not a keeper). So daily now I just flush my toilet for the baby Mau who is almost full grown, and pick up the poo poo and toss and replace the wee wee pad. In summary I’d give it 3-4 stars across the board. It works but only if your cat is willing to learn. And one was not having it. However it was a nice thing to have and if I ever sell my home for another I’ll be sure to sprinkle some Litter in the new toilet seat to get Odin going in the bowl. I wish it had worked for both though. Also it is quite flimsy and the perforations are not so great. I found that it was too easy to rip the remaining rings a bit when cutting into the perforations. Which further reduced the quality of the hold on the remaining rings. Edit: changed rating to 1 star because while this did initially work well, after a few weeks I discovered my Egyptian Mau was peeing in the closet. Many clothes were ruined and I had to take everything out of the closet and clean it after tossing everything that was owed on. The second cat never took to it. Once I put the box back w the litter they both went back to using that. Odin started off using the Citi kitty but once the thing was taken away he only used it to poop and only occasionally to pee.

I am going to try to make sort of a journal of our progress. We're training two cats, one about 1.5 years old, the other is about 6 or 7. The citykitty is set up in a second bathroom. Theres only two of us, but it is still a pretty big inconvenience. First two weeks, huge messes made several times a day. Just keep it as clean as possible. Wipes and broom are good to have near by. The larger the hole becomes, the less mess made since the litter is going to go into the water and there's so much less of it. I do worry about the weight of my cats and the thin plastic. Neither of them are relying on the actual toilet seat, and there is a lot of flexing that the citykitty is doing. Citykitty recommends with two cats to stay at each level at least two weeks, which I agree with. If you have a particularly fastidious kitty, they're going to need more time. The pan is shallow and becomes gross with one use. Cleaning it as much as possible will help them progress more quickly. First step was moving the litter box from outside (screened enclosure, with no where else to potty) to the bathroom. Neither cat has ever had issues with the box being moved. First few days, the box stayed and both cats still used it for number two but with out hesitation used the citykitty for urinating. Took the traditional box out and that was the official start. Both seemed not to want to go in it for a few days, but there have been no accidents anywhere. Cat L (older) was much more hesitant and seemed to be holding it for a few days. By the end of week two, both were using it daily without problems. Hole was cut out using some cheapo kiddy scissors. Week three (1 hole punched): both cats hesitating to use it, but are still urinating fine. At week 4, cat A (younger) is going daily. Cat L is still hesitating. Not sure if we'll have to hold out another week for him at this step. Cat A is avoiding the area with the hole at all costs, only using far areas of the pan. This can sometimes result in a mess on the toilet seat. Cat L has only gotten into the rhythm of going daily for about the past two days. He doesnt seem to have issues with the hole itself, and has pushed waste into it while trying to cover. I might have to hold out for cat L another week but I'll see how he does these next few days. Will report back in a few weeks with an update. Update: I decided to cut the ring out on time. The deciding factor was I caught cat L on the toilet and realized I had been reading him wrong. He was actually trying to aim for the hole, which was a great moment! This explains why I had been missing seeing some of his waste. He was aiming for the hole, and then tossing litter on top of it. Change in size day was a Friday and both cats were fine over the weekend, but by the time I came home from work on Monday, one of the cats (I believe it was cat A, because he has a history of doing things like this) had decided to go on the dog bed. I was disappointed and I'm pretty sure the dog isn't happy about it either. Now at a week later, they're both doing fine at this ring. I do think cat A needs a little more time but I'm optimistic that we can keep close to the schedule we have. Cat L is obviously pleased with the set up. He still scoots litter into the water but he is very good at aiming right in the hole. He's particularly fastidious so I think he enjoys that he doesn't have to touch it but he doesn't seem to understand that he doesn't need to toss the litter in to reduce smell. Cat A has less mess going on the seat, but he is still using the tray entirely to support his body. There's a lot less litter going every where and I only sweep about twice a day now. I will report back after we've been on the next ring for about a week. Update: So I decided to cut the hole out on time (I think I waited only an extra day). Initially, it came off as a mistake. Neither cat cared for it, and Cat A held it in as long as possible. However, after only a few days, both cats seemed to have the hang of it. Cat A is doing well at this level, with the exception being a little mess on the seat now and again. Cat L, though, well...it's a bit harder. If there is any evidence someone has gone before him (even his own urine) he'll opt to leave number 2 in the tub. This is a new development, so I'm not sure what made him decide this was a good idea. Luckily, it's only the tub. We're stuck here for now. Not sure when we'll be able to move along. Normally, we'd be moving up a step tomorrow but it's not happening. He's done this twice this week. He is a big lover of catnip though, so I might start sprinkling it on the seat again to lure him there. The plastic is extremely hard to cut. I found it easier to flip it over (the side facing the water) and cut it out that way, but it takes time. The plastic is quite brittle. Litter usage is so small nowadays too. I will have to buy another container of it, but it will probably last me a year at this rate. Cat A doesn't care to push any litter into the water so I don't have to refill when he goes unless he doesn't hit the water. The mess is significantly less too. A lot of it is what they're tracking on their paws now. Very satisfying to not have to sweep a million times a day now. Both cats are getting better about relying on the seat and not the plastic, but they still walk around on it. Cat A has progressed the most in this regard, as he was only a few weeks ago, supporting himself entirely on the plastic insert. Now for new suggestions. Record your kitties if you can. Even if you only have one, it can be helpful to see how they are reacting when you're not around. If they're making a ruckus crying before going, they're not yet comfortable. Both cats were doing this at the new level but Cat A has moved on from crying. I'd not know they were doing this if I didn't set my computer up to record them. My last new suggestion: flush it when they're around. The last thing you want is them getting entirely trained, and then once you install an automatic flusher, them getting scared off. Cat A was terrified every time it flushed in the beginning, but now he could care less. Something I did was close the door while cleaning with them inside. They're both used to the flushing now. It took awhile before he realized it wasn't going to eat him alive so do it early on, or install your flusher in the beginning. I will report back after we have been on the next cut for a week or so.

Facts: My female cat has been toilet trained for about 8 months. She is getting close to being 2 years old. While training her, she had one pooping accident (she pooped in the tub). We didn't give her enough time to get used to having less rings. She had one peeing accident about 5 months ago, when she peed on the guest's bed. I think she "forgot" to go, so she made a mistake. Only these 2 accidents. The cat never had an accident while using the litter box, before the training process. If you think this is going to be easy and you don't have patience, then this product is not for you. Stick to the litter box. Here is how to train your cat the RIGHT way and be littler free (from my experience): 1. The cat has to have a very good litter box habit. If your cat has accident all over the house, then this product will most likely not work for you. It works best if your cat is an indoor cat only. Use a flushable litter, so you won't clog up your toilet and pipes. The cat has to be used to that flushable litter for at least a month before you start this process. Important: - Leave about one inch of water in your bathtub and in your sink. Some cats, will try to go there, during this training process. - Do not have any bath rugs or anything that the cat would want to pee/poop on, in the bathroom. A bare floor is ideal. - If you have a male cat, it should be neutered. Male cats tend to spray their pee and mark their territory if not neutered. - Buy a toilet seat that has a soft vinyl cover. (I think is about 20 dollars at your local home store) It is less slippery than hard plastic toilet seats. - NEVER EVER cover the toilet. You want to make sure your cat has always access to its litter. If you have young kids, you should have them use the second bathroom (of course if you have one in your home). The less traffic, the better for the cat. Cats want to be left alone while doing their litter business. So if you have a second bathroom, this process will be much more easy. 2. The litter box has to be in the bathroom, next to the toilet, for at least 3 or 4 weeks, so the cat is very comfortable with that area. If you used to have your litter box in another room then you need to slowly make the transition of moving the box, over several weeks to the bathroom. Then give it another month, so the cat is comfy with using it in the bathroom, next to the toilet. 3. Over the next 2 weeks or so, add books, or something very heavy, under the little box, and raise the litter box, slowly (one or 2 inches per day) until the cat is very comfortable with jumping up there to do her business. Before proceeding to the next step, make sure the litter box opening is at about the same height as the toilet. And make sure the litter level is somewhat close to the toilet level. That means your litter box should be almost full. This way your cat will be used to doing her/his business at the same level with the toilet seat. Attention: - Make sure the base, where the box sits on, is stable and would not fall off the books (or whatever u use to raise it) when the cat jumps in and out of it. If you cat feels that the surface is not stable it will not be comfortable with jumping up there. So no wobbly litter box. - Do not use a litter box with a cover on it. Use a simple fully open litter box, not the ones that look like a little house. 4. Once the cat is comfy with using the litter box up there, set up CityKitty (CK) and fill it with about one inch of litter. Take the cat up there and try to pet it while it sits on the litter in the CK. Do this a few times every day for like a week. The cat will learn that there is one more spot with litter it can use. If the cat is starting to use CK while the litter box is still there, then you have a great start. If it doesn't use it, that is fine also. No need to worry. 5. Remove the litter box. After your remove it, put your cat up on the CK a few times a day. That way she will have it fresh in it's memory. Once it uses CK, give your cat a treat and pet it. Try to do it every time when it uses it. Let the cat use CK for a week. If the cat had no accidents, then you can move on. Important: Clean CK EVERY single time the cat uses it. A dirty CK will make your cat not want to use it. And fill CK with litter every time, to the same one inch level. 6. One week with no accident: Remove the first ring. 7. Only remove the next ring after at least one week passes and the cat has no accident and is very comfortable going in CK (if the cat is walking around a lot, meowing a lot, before she does her/his business then give it some extra time, until it is comfortable. 8. Once you reach the final ring, start removing (and not adding) any more litter inside CK. This applies to all steps: - Watch your cat. Make sure is comfortable. Give it extra time is she struggles. Pet it. Give her a treat every time she uses CK. Clean around CK and on the floor. (I kept a vacuum close and vacuumed the toilet and around it as needed). This process will be messy and lots of litter will be flying all over. Put catnip in the litter. We are litter free now. Best thing I have purchased for my cat. No more dust paws all around the house (hardwood floors). Cons: - you cannot go back one ring if needed.

I write this review after successfully toilet training my cat (last ring on the toilet, no problem for me) and WHY I chose to go to a litter box (breeze pellets not normal litter). I want to detail my journey and key take-aways for you. = My rationale for toilet training my cat: = I didn’t want to scoop litter, (1) flushing seemed easier and more hygienic, (2) cat poop smells, (3) wouldn’t have to pay for litter every month, (4) brag to friends = My biggest take-away = I can’t be home every minute of the day. My lifestyle is not suited for a toilet trained cat (and I urge you to consider if yours will be as well ahead of time to save yourself trouble). Yes I toilet trained my cat successfully … BUT the toilet needs to be flushed after every use or else the next time he needs the bathroom and finds the toilet dirty, he will not use it. He will use the floor. Or the carpet. Or the bed. Flushing is easy yes, but are you the type that can be home every day and never go out? Someone will need to be home once every few hours to flush. Especially if he pees and then poops. You will need to flush immediately after he pees or else your cat will poop on the floor or worse. This fact, over the course of 6 months, has slowly driven me insane about managing my cat’s pooping schedule. Result = unhappy pet owner with toilet trained cat. = Cost = In total, I spent approximately $170 on training supplies, treats and litter over these past 6 months – which is not too bad considering I did toilet train my cat. However, I really wish I just started with the Breeze litter system … my cat took to that immediately and even though you have to bag poop once a day, you only have to switch pads for pee once a week. If you still want to toilet train your cat, which I strongly advise you reconsider, then here’s what you absolutely need: 1 Child toilet seat attachment 1 Toilet training kit, citikitty or otherwise 1 bag Flushable litter 1 bottle Precious Cat Attractant 1 bag or more cat treats Optional: Feliway calming spray = Tips I learned along the way = Catnip - Do NOT sprinkle the provided catnip on the litter. Your cat may associate it with food. I was horrified that my cat started to lick the litter. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Just don’t do it! Backups - The backup toilet trainer will not be enough. You will have accidents and need to back up a step or two, sometimes even fully back to square one. I purchased cheap aluminum food pans from the store (think 3 for a dollar type) and put it on the toilet and set the citikitty on top of that, then lid down. Repeat as usual. Child toilet seat – I did not do this for the first two months I was toilet training. It is an essential part of the process especially for male cats since they don’t feel fully comfortable perching on the seat for POOPING. My cat found toilet seat fine for peeing, but not for pooping since it strains their muscles more. Accidents - You WILL have accidents if you decide to toilet train your cat. My cat had many accidents, next to the toilet, on the floor, and even a few times on the bed (I washed everything). For every accident, there is a reason and you must restart from either a step prior or sometimes from the very beginning. I had to start from the beginning four times (with aluminum pans which are cheap). Scolding does not work. DO NOT SCOLD or else he will be afraid to use the toilet. Treats – you must have treats and praise for the cat after he does his well-done job. Cat jumping up and down but not using the toilet – he feels uneasy. Do not stay in the same room, let him do his thing. Even if you catch him in the middle of pooping on the floor, he will just be more anxious. = Conclusion and why I went back to litter box = I successfully trained my cat to use the toilet. However, no one can be home every minute of the day to watch the cat and flush immediately. It’s ridiculous. Also the breeze system is honestly great. My Timeline: *my cat was extremely clever and eager to please. You might not have the same timeline Day 1, cat comes home. I filled citikitty with litter and placed it on the floor. Day 2: placed onto toilet. He used with no problems Day 3: removed smallest inner ring. Day 7: On training ring 3, removed ring 2. Using less litter and water was not covered. Day 14: Accident. Brought the backup. Day Month 2: Cat pooping next to the toilet, but peeing inside. Sometimes he’ll poop in the toilet, sometimes not. Month 3: Cat on last ring, pooping and peeing inside toilet after getting litter attractant and mayfair child toilet. I was full of confidence. Month 5: Cat had two accidents on different beds. We closed off the bedrooms. I bought feliway, but decided enough was enough. I can’t be home every minute of the day. Month 6: Bought breeze pellet litter box, never looked back. Life is so much easier now.

5 stars! What an amazing product... I could write a thesis about how every cat owner needs to give this a try, but for all of our sake, I'll try to make it short and sweet. Imagine walking into your place and no sudden onslaught of a used cat litter box... Sounds too good to be true? Well it's not. Not after training them with this product. No smell, no litter all over your floors, none of the bad and all of the good. IT WORKS! IT WORKS! IT WORKS! I was skeptical like I'm sure many of you are reading this right now, but believe me, this will literally be the Best Buy you will ever make! At first my cat was skeptical about it and didn't seem to like it very much but keep at it and in 4 weeks (mine got it in 3 weeks, he's so smart 😸) you will have a toilet trained kitty. Simple as that. Follow the directions provided, maybe watch a YouTube video or two and BAM! I have literally saved hundreds and hundreds of dollars with this product and I am so happy I took the chance with it. Make sure you keep the lid up AT ALL TIMES, and the seat down at all times. Takes some getting used to but it will become habit. Think of it as training yourself as you train your cat, ladies, this is a trainer for your guy friends as well (killing two birds with one stone here 😉). Also something to note, cats like privacy just like you and I, so give them some while training. *It will be annoying for you for a month while training your cat but the patience will pay off... Trust me. You will need to lift the seat up, take out the trainer, set it aside, do your business, and then put it all back when your done. But think about all the money and cleaning you will save yourself in the long run! *Now one thing I must admit, my kitty was a little over a year old when I tried it so I can't say with confidence that it will work with older cats, but it's beyond worth a try... You would be silly not to try it at least. *Very important you buy flushable litter... Trust me I made that mistake for all of you already and used what kitty litter I had left over prior to using this product and that was a huge mistake... * Another suggestion, tell everyone coming to your place as soon as they enter that there may be a surprise in the toilet, and it's not you... They will be so impressed that you have a toilet trained cat, the unsightly little nugget in the toilet won't bother them at all. BEST PART OF ALL... After one year, my cat has NEVER had an accident. 3 weeks of training for a lifetime of no cat litter box smell, or having to buy litter and scoopers and all that jazz... Totally worth it!

Kat already checked it out. Shouldn't be hard to train her

مش وحشة بس قطتي محبتوش

difficult with 2 cats, and one should start early or have a great amount of patience. I got to stage 4 for 1 cat and had to give up as the other cat was giving accidents (and to force them on this loo I had to remove the other loos). But definitely worth a try! I might try again after some time.

Ci ho creduto ma non ci siamo riusciti...dopo un mese ho comprato la lettiera....mi sono accorta che dopo il secondo cerchio la gattina faceva solo la pipì....più raramente il resto....quando è scappata nella vasca in cerca di sabbia ho capito.... Tuttavia il set è ben preparato e l insuccesso non è colpa del prodotto. Peccato....Ci speravo....

If you are going to purchase this product you have to be aware that it doesn't come with will power! This kit does work but it takes persistence! We have two cats which we trained from kittens, one got it completely after about four months, the other over a year but I still maintain it's miles easier than cleaning out a stinky litter tray! I would advise always treating the cat afterwards, mine are so well trained now they meow to call you up to tell you they've been as they want their treats! I agree it is pretty flimsy material but from kitten size to junior it's absolutely fine. Hopefully if training went well you wouldn't need it when they are big anyway!
