Cat Toilet Training System By Litter Kwitter - Teach Your Cat to Use the Toilet - With Instructional DVD

I adopted 5 unhealthy kittens and once i got them healthy i wanted to toilet train them. I changed litter to the kind that can be flushed down the toilet and i changed my scooper. This Litter Kwitter works! So far i am only having problems with one cat who dsnt want to go on the toilet. While your training them you need to scoop it. The problem with most scoopers are that the holes are to big for standard kitty litter so the small poop pieces in the litter box go right thru the scooper and becomes a problem, but the holes on the scooper made by Alfie Pet made by Petoga Couture (on Amazon) are smaller and this is rare. I was using Tidy Cats litter which has same size litter pieces as most. Problem with this scooper is that the holes are to small for standard litter and clean litter pieces dont go thru at all. This sucked. Buying this scooper was the key to the whole problem. I bought different litter called Cats Pride Scoopable at Walmart. This is not that expensive and can be put in the toilet instead of the garbage can when your scooping the litter box so your garbage wont smell bad anymore. This litter is much lighter than normal litter which is great if you have back problems like me. I have city sewer and flushing this litter has not caused my toilet to clog at all. The clean litter pieces are smaller than Tidy Cats and standard litter so even the small poop & pee pieces dont go thru these holes on this scooper but the clean litter does. Problem fixed!!! This works great if you want to be a normal cat mom, but i am not a normal cat mom because i am really a dog person. i took this a step further and bought Litter Kwitter which is a kit that trains cats to go poop on the toilet. No more litter box!! (If you can even imagine that! ). I have spent one week training my 5 unhealthy cats i rescued and 4 out of the 5 are now going on the toilet & i fixed their health problems which was a different issue than the toilet training. I have no idea why people say cats cant be trained because they are just as smart and motivated as a dog and all the different cat training i have done has worked. My cats are all under one years old though. I just used basic dog training on the cats. I didnt know what else to do. You see i am a dog person who wound up with 5 starving unhealthy cats dumped off on my doorstep. I am an animal lover and i could not turn them away, but being a dog person i have a problem with an animal living in my home who puts poo and pee in a box that sits on the floor and stinks up the place and winds up all over the floor we walk on. I cant believe that this is a normal cat owner thing to do and that makes sense to all of us somehow. If you have small kids that are crawling around on the floor this is a health hazard. What if they put litter in their mouths? Small kids are curious & litter winds up on their hands then goes in the mouth. Ewww! I am a disabled single mom and i have slipped and fallen when walking on a floor that has litter all over the place cause it was kicked out of the litter box by the cats. So once i changed the litter i was buying and i got the Litter Kwitter system and i got this scooper .....everything is working much better now. Very soon i wont need litter or a scooper once the toilet training is finished. The problem i am having with Litter Kwitter training is that i introduced the cats to the orange insert that has the hole in the middle and the hole is very distracting. They keep putting their heads in it to look at the water in the toilet. I am hoping that they get past this eventually. I dont know, maybe they need more time to adjust. If anyone has any ideas on how to get thru this part of the training please let me know. I dont know if i can get them past it. They have no problem using the red tray with no hole. This Litter Kwitter system is great and definitely worth trying. I think it will be successful in time.

I trained my 10-year old domestic short hair mutt rescue cat successfully on this system. However, there are several home-versions you can find on youtube. But these methods involve removing all of the water from your toilet, and filling a deep mixing bowl to insert inside the toilet filled with cat litter. This method won't allow you or guests to use your toilet yourself, while in training, so if it's your only toilet, it won't work. The Litter Kwitter does - you have to move the trays off though first (***and remember to put them back). I bought both this product and City Kitty, but found this one to be superior for two reasons: 1. It's sturdier 2. After "graduating" to the next ring on either system, if you have an accident, you may have to regress and go back to the previous tray. The punch-out system of the City Kitty product doesn't allow for that. This product works extremely well, but these are my insights for training that I wish others had shared with me: 1. SUCCESS TAKES 2-3X LONGER THAN PROMISED If you work from home or are a house-parent, this is ideal. If you don't, it will be difficult for you to change the trays 5+ times/day for this training after you graduate to not having any litter in the trays. Cats eliminate where they feel safe - it's instinctive - they don't want to be attacked, nor attract another animal to their elimination spot. That's why they don't like a dirty box/tray. (They would prefer you cleaned their boxes daily - why the mechanical boxes are a bad idea.) So cats may eliminate improperly if you're not cleaning these trays regularly, every time they go. So consider your planned vacations and do this when you know you'll be home for a 3 month run if you want it to really work. Otherwise you'll need a cat sitter that can come 4x a day minimum. (Eventually you graduate to not using any litter, and your cats are not going to step into litter-less trays of piss. Sometimes they'll miss the hole and that's what you'll have. If you don't have someone coming to clean often enough (and they pee as much as 5 times a day - your cats will eliminate outside of it.) Every time you transition from one insert to the next, expect a possible setback. Your cat may protest pooping in the toilet because it's not as comfortable to stand on a ledge, as on the ground (peeing is easier to get them to do). So they may poop on the floor in front of your toilet. If they do this, revert to the previous tray and start giving more verbal praise when they do either in the toilet correctly. The folks that fail with this process are probably doing a few things wrong: they're not patient enough, they're not cleaning nearly as often as they should be, and they're not giving enough praise to the animal when they get it right. Use an immense amount of positive talk to "reward" your cat and get them to repeat the good behavior. If you end up frustrated, it's probably your fault. 2. TRAIN ALL TOILETS (& CATS) TOGETHER Don't think one cat will use the box and the other this. Not likely. Start off this training by getting some door stoppers, and don't move them. Ever. You don't want your cat locked out of their toilet(s). If you have more than one toilet in the house, go get a litter box to put next to each, and order one of these kits for each to train in all steps at all toilets. (Unless you plan on never opening the door of that bathroom for the cat). Doing this in more than one toilet is also highly recommended if you have more than one cat if you want success. Think about it, at some point you're going to have a guest use the toilet your cats use. Or sometime you'll forget yourself and close the bathroom door. When this happens, your cats are not going to know to "wait" or that someone else is using their restroom. All they're going to know is panic - that they've been locked out of their restroom. So training in ALL toilets gives them a backup to go to. It's common sense. Is it gross to have kitty feet on your toilet? Only if you wear shoes inside and have dirty floors. In which case, I'd recommend putting some wipes next to your toilet. But really, what's more disgusting than a box of litter in your home, and dirty feet tracking bacteria and crumbles throughout your house? 3. REMEMBER, IT'S THEIR TERRITORY The first step in this training process is to slowly move the litter box(es) toward your bathroom(s) you'll be training in. Remember, you're moving more than a box, it's a marker of their territory and belonging/acceptance to your space. Move your cat box(es) slowly toward the bathroom(s), so they don't feel their bathroom should still be in whichever corner you just took it from. Move SLOW is my advice, or you may regret it. It's messy during the transition and you may have litter in your hallway. It pays off in the end when you have a litter-free, box-less life. *Some tips for your bathroom: Cats will often poop on a rug because the rubber backing is toxic to them and they don't like the smell (Your plastic shower curtain is also toxic to them, and you). If you want to create a cat-friendly bathroom, make sure you don't have a new shower curtain or any rugs they don't like. Throw away anything they poop on - they're trying to tell you something. If they pee, wash, then soak it with this product from amazon: Bubba's Terminator before washing again. 4. PREPARE FOR MISHAPS If your animals make a mistake, it's important NOT to discipline them or even sound disappointed in front of them - or you can confuse them even more and end up with a BIG problem. When you are upset, from their point of view you're telling them that going to the bathroom is wrong. They don't understand why and they may end up just going out of the box and afraid that anywhere they go is "wrong". Don't react when they make a mistake. Get a black light to see what's really going on, because otherwise you probably won't know how bad it is. Clean with Bubba's Terminator from Amazon if you don't want them to return to the area. Otherwise, even though you can't smell it, they can. Bleach and even extra-strength cleaners won't do the job. (Watch a few episodes of My Cat From Hell for proof.) Traditional store-bought cleaners are toxic to your cat's paws which they lick them. 5. BUY LITTER ATTRACT (2 bags) You don't need to elevate your cat box to get them "used to jumping" as the one reviewer says. (Since when do cats need to be trained to jump? Hilarious.) All they need is to smell the alluring scent. After you move the box and finally have it in the bathroom(s) for a full 2-3 weeks and they're using it regularly without any accidents elsewhere you're ready to transition to the Litter Kwitter. Use Litter Attract atop any litter. (I recommend World's Best Cat Litter - unscented. Litter Attract sends the, "YES, YOU belong here" message to your cat. *Cat pee is strong stuff, so be cautious where you store the waste inside or out, or your cats and others may spray that area repeatedly. *You can spray your garbage cans outside with Orange Oil (also sold on Amazon), but NEVER spray it near or on a cat - it deters cats but is not safe inside your home as it can be toxic to cats. Use only outdoors where they can avoid it, or you'll be repelling your cat to your entire home, inside of it, which is unfair. 7. GIVE RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS OF PRAISE, OFTEN Positive reinforcement works. Give treats AFTER and ONLY when they've used the Litter Kwitter properly (but not during - give your cat space). When your cat eliminates properly in the trays, give a ton of verbal, exaggerated praise for longer than you want. Use your most syrupy, highest voice (as animal behaviorist Jackson Galaxy recommends). Say, "Good + their name" repeatedly until their tail is straight up in the air, all proud. Do this EVERY time you possibly can when you see them use the Litter Kwitter. If you can carry your cat to the toilet without them getting worried, do so and then give praise so they know what they're being praised for. 8. EXPECT IT TO BE GROSS This system works but take patience and time. I found it to take 2-3 times as long as they promised. And in the meantime, it's REALLY messy to clean. Eventually you'll transition away from litter all together, and be dumping pools of cat urine off the trays. (Be cautious not to use wipes and then put anything that touched the urine or poop in the inside waste bin or your cat may pee there.) All of this cleanup is way more intimate than anyone wants to get with their cat's elimination. If you're not prepared and don't have the patience for this, get a box (not a covered one), and if you're having problems with them going outside of it watch some My Cat from Hell episodes and you should be able to fix the problem quickly. 9. AFTER YOU GRADUATE FROM LITTER When you clean, don't use bleach or traditional grocery-store products. A cat LICKS it's feet to clean them, so when you use a toxic cleaner, you could make them sick. Use an organic cleaner to clean the trays. Something like Fizzion Pet Stain & Odor Remover (sold on Amazon). ONCE YOU GRADUATE FROM LITTER IN THE TRAYS DO NOT use an enzymatic cleaner (I recommended Bubba's etc). You WANT the trays to remain smelling like the cat's pee to THEM (not you). An enzymatic cleaner like Bubba's will make that scent disappear to them as well. You want the pee scent visible to them to reinforce, "Yes, go HERE! Here is your scent!" 10. CLEAN THE INSERTS CONSTANTLY Cats are clean animals. Humans would never leave their excrement sitting in their home, but bizarrely, leave a cat box for days without scooping and think it's fine. Yet complain it smells. A cat doesn't like this. (Neither do your house guests). Just like a box, if it's too dirty your cats may protest, and eliminate elsewhere. So if you aren't home for this training to clean every time they pee - it's not going to work. Once you've graduated from the litter, you have to clean the inserts 5+ times/day, per cat. Your animal is not going to step into a pool of piss to eliminate, so they'll go somewhere else. Remember the reward - once the training is successful, you'll never have to scoop or touch any of it again, ever. And you'll never have dirty litter paws tracking it all over your house again. If you end up frustrated, it's probably YOUR fault. Funniest thing about having a cat use your toilet? Sometimes you'll rush in needing to use the restroom and find they are, and you have to wait :)

This item is amazing. While taking some time to train our cat, it's very neat and effective. Seller shipped quickly. Great product!

Ce produit permet d'apprendre facilement aux chats à faire leurs besoins sur les toilettes. J'ai néanmoins était obligée d'acheter le kit intermédiaire (directement sur le site de Litter Kwitter) car avec 2 chats, chacun a une progression différente, et l'un de mes chats avait fait un blocage complet pour passer de l'étape rouge à la orange. J'avais du régressé et repasser à l'étape rouge. Du coup avec le disque orange intermédiaire (entre rouge et orange) et vert intermédiaire (entre orange et vert), cela a facilité. Je passe les étapes très lentement ce qui évite les blocages. Je veille à ce qu'il y ait toujours un minimum de grains de litières (sinon ils cherchent à faire ailleurs). J'en suis à l'étape verte. Cela peut aller plus vite je pense, mais cela dépend des chats. J'ai eu néanmoins quelques accidents. Donc je veille à passer d'une étape à l'autre uniquement le weekend quand je suis présente. Ils peuvent miauler, être mal à l'aise quand l'étape change. Je les encourage, les aide, et finalement ils y arrivent. S'il y a un blocage, n'hésitez pas à repasser à l'étape précédente. J'utilise avec une litière compatible pour aller dans les toilettes. Pendant un temps, malheureusement, il risque d'y avoir des grains un peu partout, le temps que les chats apprennent. Mais c'est un très bon produit, de qualité très nettement supérieure aux autres produits de ce type que l'on peut trouver. Il est un peu cher, mais il vaut mieux mettre un peu plus. J'ai déménagé et racheté un 2ème Litter Kwitter car j'ai 2 toilettes maintenant. J'espère que mes chats vont réussir l'étape verte pour que je suis enfin tester sans cercle :) Je vous le conseille les yeux fermés si vous voulez apprendre à votre chat à utiliser les toilettes.

Ottimo prodotto

I've now had the litter kwitter for around 5 months, and I didn't want to review it until I'd had enough time to try it with my 4 y/o Siamese. She's a picky little cat, and not really all that bright quite frankly! I really didn't think she would take to the learning curve of a new toilet routine, so I was very sceptical; particularly with regard to suboptimal hygiene around the toilet for any picky humans to discover. Still, after a couple of false starts due to having to travel abroad for work and holidays I had a couple of months to try getting her used to the kit. The first step with the red tray was pretty easy. She was confused by the toilet shaped tray being right next to the human toilet, and kept and coming and meowing at me, but after a while she started using it like her regular tray. The step up to the toilet bowl was a bit tricky. I was impressed that the toilet cover that holds the 3 stage trays fitted so well, as I had imagined it slipping off and having to clean up a nasty feline mess. In fact it's very sturdy, and very easy to keep clean. Where she did slightly miss the red tray, the mess could just be cleaned off with a detergent wet wipe. Only once did anything "escape", and it wasn't a disaster. Moving onto the orange tray after about 3 weeks produced more confused mewling, but the day I went in the bathroom and saw the business in the bottom of the bowl was so good. I gave her lots of praise, and head strokes to give her confidence, and she was soon used to the new method. It was in fact always a bit of giggle in the house to suddenly hear the very human like tinkling in the bowl :) With treats and praise, so she knew she was doing things correctly, I got her to the stage were I just left the white surround on the toilet rim (I peeped to watch her a couple of times and she was struggling to keep her balance without it). Only for a week or 2 though. In fact now, she's perfectly okay with the procedure, and I've removed the surround altogether. Not only that, but I think she seems to appreciate the fact that her business just disappears (underwater). She's so pleased with herself afterwards, she comes to see me shimming her tail straight up in the air and meowing like a proud 6 year old child (well minus the tail...), just to let me know that I'm required to go and do the flush. So for me, my glistening white tile bathroom, my fresh smelling apartment, completely devoid of annoying grains of cat litter underfoot, and my very clean, very happy cat, this product is a revelation. I've even had friends ask to come round and watch her go to the toilet. So many people don't believe me, and my mum just thought it was nonsense. That was until she came to stay for 3 weeks whilst I was holiday, and witnessed the miracle for herself :)
