Hi everyone! I wanted to start a blog to track the progress of my 2 kittens as I train them to use the toilet instead of a litter box. In a few weeks, Benjamin & Desmond will be 8 weeks old and ready to come home with us. I have spent a lot of time … Continue reading Here we go!
Well, things have been pretty busy since we brought home the boys. Our older cat, Jake, needed to be put to sleep after a cancerous tumor on his chest burst open. It has been awful but Ben & Dezzy are just as cute as can be, so they are helping us get through this tough … Continue reading Day 4
Well, we've had a few accidents. Both kitties are peeing in the orange ring, and one of them is definitely pooping in the orange ring. But one of them is pooping on the bathroom floor. Boooo. My guess is it's Ben, although I have yet to catch him in the act. Ben is fascinated with … Continue reading Day 5
Nothing new to report. We're back to the red ring and back to having no accidents! Guess we'll just have to progress slower than I was hoping. I'll switch to the next ring once we get the multi-cat kit in the mail and we'll take it from there.
Still no more news! We're sticking to the red ring until the multi-cat kit comes in the mail. I will say that I can tell they are getting better at using the toilet--Benny is sitting in exactly the right position now! All 4 paws on the seat, balancing over the litter! Dez is still standing … Continue reading Day 8

Well our multi-cat kit finally came yesterday. After much coaxing and begging, I witnessed Dez do his very first poop down the hole!! I was so proud! But I could tell he was nervous and probably wouldn't have gone by himself if I wasn't there to cheer him on. My suspicions were confirmed this morning … Continue reading Day 21
Well!! We have made great progress since yesterday! I spent all of yesterday morning comforting Dez in the bathroom, trying to get him to poop again. I could tell he really did need to go by the way he was looking anxiously at the toilet and the chirping sounds he kept making. Finally, after much … Continue reading Day 22
Nothing new to report! Both of my boys now seem comfortable with Step 2; we haven't had any accidents in 5 days! Thanksgiving break is next week, so I will probably graduate them to Step 3 during that time so I can be around to ease Desmond into it. I have been trying to catch … Continue reading Day 26
Just wanted to post this picture of Benny doing his perfect pose!
