Litter Quitter

Saturday 4 December 2010

Tiger is now 1 year & 2 months old. He is a big boy who loves climbing the neighbors roof. He no longer prefers his kitty kwitter & rather opts to go do his business outside. His vet calls him a handsome lad. Tiger has a new adopted Sister name Taniwha. She is 5 weeks old & loves to follow her big brother around where ever she can.

Tiger was given by my Fiancee' as a birthday gift during the month of December 2009,
We picked him up from our local Vet. Sign read ' kittens needing a good home'. He was only 3 weeks old.

At 5 months old, Started 'Litter Quitter' today.
Transition from litter tray to toilet tray stage 1(Red) is going great. Tiger has adapted well. Changed from crystal litter to flush-able litter.

Positive points on 'Litter Quitter': *Tiger has adapted to change *No litter tray stench
* less tray germs from Cat in tray, then from tray to table tops.
Disadvantage Points: *Due to work can't be home 24/7 to assist him or reward him for his progress. *Tiger needs full time assistance and re-assuredness in toilet training.
Outcome: Through perseverance, over a month an a half later has progressed on (stage 1)Red tray being moved from floor to on top of the toilet. Pees on top alright but is somewhat reluctant to do poo's. In which we usually move back to go forward at his own pace.

Note: Tiger is not afraid of the toilet and loves to watch the water go down when it is flushed. I only introduced the 'Litter Quitter' due to him always wanting to sit with me while I was on the toilet. I would let him sit with me while explaining what I was doing, and sometimes I would find him sitting on the toilet seat.
