Question 1

My cat went completed the training without incident and has been using toilet for 2.5 months.  Then started pooping in the bathtub. Any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

I have not tried this product yet and am seriously considering it as my cat already is very interested in the toilet as she likes to sit on it and also has been caught attempting to drink from it but does not urinate or defecate in it.  For those worried about their fur babies falling into the toilet, getting hurt because of the small area they are having to balance on to go poo, or unsure why their fur baby was potty trained but now is defecating on the floor/tub/sink/etc., I wonder if getting a potty training seat that goes over the toilet seat like is used for toddlers when they are potty training would help with giving them more area to stand and allow for better balance?

Just a thought I had while reading the Q&As on this product.  I definitely am going to give this product a try and will get a potty training seat for my fur baby to give her more standing room once she is fully trained.

Question 2

How do I get my cat to have better positioning using the toilet? We are on the last ring, but he is still getting feces on the seat occasionally! HELP!!! Also, when is the best time to remove the CittiKitty and the litter?

Accepted Answer

I sure would stick to it.  Stopping now would probably hurt him psychically.  My Boy still wipes the seat as if there was litter there.  Once I'd say in about every 2 or 3 months he'll leave a little on the seat.  Mostly like a drop or two at the end of the bowel movement.  He will do #1 or #2 when I am shaving or something at the basin even.  He really made no hesitation when we moved to a different apartment and did his "duty" in normal schedule.        I think it's like stopping tobacco smoking for us.  You just need to stick to it.  Boy has been toilet trained for just about a one year now.  I stopped using the tray (CitiKitty) it seems about after one full month.  I think I placed him on the toilet just once or twice at the beginning.  I repeat "That's a good Boy" to this day as reinforcement.   I complained or hollered at him during the training - or let him know that I was nervous or anxious about the training.      The way that he sits is still a very minor problem as a small portion of the feces hits above the water line.  I reflush and sometimes wipe it down with a piece of toilet paper.      I would never want to go back to litter.  I'm so proud of Boy and he knows it.  We use the same toilet as I live in senior housing here on Maui w/o a second pot.  My friends had trouble because their cat goes outside off and on and also used a toilet in the guest bathroom.        That there My Cat from Hell taught me a lot as Boy is like my 2nd cat and my first was older and had been declawed B4 I got him.  It was not a happy cat.  When I moved back to Hawaii I got Boy after a while.    Just keep trying because it's worth it!!

Question 3

Ive been at this for 2 months now.... my cat pees in the toilet but doesn't poop. She always poops on the floor next to the toilet. Help!

Accepted Answer

I have been doing toilet training for over 30 years. From experience, a lot of cats will do this, go #2 just next to the toilet on the floor. They need to be comfortable and relaxed, and not rushed. I now have a "potty training barricade" system. I put items all around the toilet so that there is no room for the cat to go next to it. Small garbage cans, water jugs, anything you can put there that takes up room. And whenever they go on the potty, they get an extra special treat that they go wild over. It has to be consistent, every time. Even if they went and you didn't catch them in the act, show them they went potty in the right place, and give them that treat! Once they have been going on the toilet without incident for a few weeks (for those who are stubborn), I remove the "barricades". It may not be a pretty sight in the bathroom for those few weeks, but the results last a lifetime!

Question 4

How do you keep your cat's tail out of the water? One of my cats has an extremely long tail.

Accepted Answer

The cats are given a narrow slippery slanted surface to perform a dangerous balancing act in which all their paws are lined up together. There are u-tube videos showing the cats slipping and falling. Injuries have happened. They are reluctant to use the toilet because they are afraid to fall. One owner said her cat was pooping on the floor and she discovered the reason - he was slipping when pooping on the toilet. Other reviews have stated the cats hold their pee and poop in - and the cats had urinary tract infections and bloody stool. It reminds me of the circus elephants who were abused so they would unwillingly stand with all their feet on a stool. Would we agree to walk on ice? Please see the u-tube videos I will list below of the cats falling from the toilet. It is heartbreaking.
