 for small cats December 25, 2008

I waited until my cats were 6 months old as they recommend. Two of my cats are ragdolls, so very large. The small hole in the fake toilet seat was just too small for them. Plus, they hated the flushable litter (Swheat Scoop). As soon as I switched from the scoopable kind in the closed ring to the flushable one in the open rings, all 3 of my cats stopped using it. They had no problem using a regular litter box in the same location, or the closed ring on the toilet (except for it being too small). Because one of my cats was old and very ill, I was not able to get rid of all other boxes in the house, as that would have been too stressful for him, which was another problem--they had other boxes to use.
I think that if I already was using that weird flushable litter all along, and if I had started when my cats were younger and smaller, they would have learned.

I live in a loft with 2 cats and one toilet, so even the act of toilet training is messy. One cat is larger and older, but he has no problem with the toilet (in fact with a regular litter box he always perched on the edge to poo). The younger one however, is a digger. He will toss his litter all over the bathroom. Needless to say, he's not to happy with a litter-free system. He pees in the toilet, but continues to poo on the floor (its been about 3-4 months now).
I started with a cheap toilet seat screwed into a litter box with a jar in the center. This allowed me to skip the red ring and go right to orange. The problem, as everyone stated was that it DID NOT fit my standard toilet (I suppose by "standard" they mean Australian standard). I thought I got it until a cat jumped on it and it popped off--he wasn't happy. I had to remove the plastic pieces that are supposed to "secure" it. Now I put rubber grips on the underside and clamped the back corners to my toilet. This phase is already not worth the cost.
If your cat is a scooper be prepared for a serious mess! After filling orange with litter, he scooped all of the litter either on the floor or in the hole. Then he realized there was no litter for him to poo in and he got upset and went on the floor...this still continues months later. They seemed to get a hang of orange (minus the poo on the floor) so I switched to green and the jump is WAY too much. They want you to pay an extra $15 for the in between rings--it should come with it for $60!!
Luckily the older cat has pretty much been ready for complete removal. But my little guy is not having it. The bottom line is if your cat likes it, it'll work. This system completely depends on your cat.
For a cheaper option, I recommend buying those big turkey roasting pans and cutting holes in them as your cat progresses. They're cheap, disposable and actually fit your toilet (tho you may need to secure it from shifting)!
They should tell you about other steps to take, and should add an extra ring. December 4, 2008

This product would be 5 stars if I didn't think that it needs to have an ice cream tub, or some other pan in my toilet, McGiver-ing the thing so it works right. I researched how best to potty train my cats, and decided to try the litter kwitter, as it seemed the most sturdy. I, like other reviewers, felt that the step where the hole is first introduced was too big a step. Here are my tips that I think really help you to avoid any accidents, by creating steps that they don't tell you about that have worked for me.
After every time I made a change, either moving their cat box, or changing a ring, I waited a week at least before moving on to a new step. I originally started out by moving their cat box right up next to the toilet. I then put some phone books under it, so they had to step up to get in it. I then put their cat box on an ice chest with stuff inside to weight it down (in case they jumped into it) that made the entrance the same height as the toilet seat, so my cats would actually jump up on the seat to walk into their box (with the lid either up or down, they didn't seem to care). I then used the litter kwitter on the toilet, but did not initially take away their box, because I wanted them to learn that there were TWO places where they could do their business. These starting steps REALLY helped me, as I have a kitten whose brain hasn't quite caught up with the rest of her yet, and she isn't the fastest learner.
I was worried that she would fall through the hole once I changed to the amber ring, because she was so used to the toilet being a solid surface that she could stand on. I decided to improvise, and came up with a solution. I measured my toilet rim's interior diameter and bought a roasting pan (the aluminum ones you buy from your local grocery store.) I then drew a bunch of holes on the bottom of the pan. I decided that when I switched to the amber ring that I would place this underneath, so that if she fell in, she would not fall on the water. I also added some litter, so if she felt down there with her paw, she would realize that she could go to the bathroom in the hole, and not just on the rim, as she kept trying to do. There is nothing funnier than watching your cat play twister on your toilet trying desperately to make their poop land on that tiny ring with the litter on it.
The pan worked really well, but I realized that I could have done this from day 1, and not had to buy this system at all. I ended up just getting rid of the litter kwitter, and slowly cutting holes in the pan, starting with a very tiny hole at first. I slowly cut bigger and bigger holes, until the bottom was gone, and then I removed it completely. I really liked the pan idea, because I could have the toilet seat down. I figured that if they were going to be going with the seat down anyways, they might as well get used to balancing on it. The big con is that my older cat is a big 15 lb male cat, and when he would stand in the pan, and not on the rim, the pan would sink down, so it was more like a bowl than a pan. This was fine, as the pan's lip was big enough that as the pan warped from being bent, it did not fall in. I did use the green ring when this started happening, hoping it would help, but I ended up taking it away again because he likes to stand with his back paws INSIDE the toilet (not in the water, but still inside), even to this day. It also scratched the porcelain on the inside of my toilet rim, but I'm not too worried about it, as it's only a tiny scratch. I didn't have any problems with kitties going on the carpet, but I also took it REALLY slow.
The other plus about using the trays is that they are SUPER cheap, so you can buy two or three, just in case you need to go back a step, but have already cut the holes in it. I would recommend either going the cheap but flimsy way of using the roasting pan, or buying this, which is more expensive, but more sturdy, and adding something as an intermediary step. I have a friend who used a large plastic bowl (like a mixing bowl, or a popcorn bowl) which she filled with water, instead of cutting holes in it, which would be sturdier and wouldn't scratch your toilet. She slowly decreased the amount of litter in the pan (this teaches them not to dig in their litter, or they will get poop on their paws) and slowly replaced the litter with water. This helps if your cat is freaked out by the water in the toilet. That way they will learn not to stand in the hole, or they will get wet, and they will get used to hanging their butt over water. You then increase the amount of water in the bowl/pan, until the bowl/pan is full, then remove the bowl/pan. She trained her cat fast, because by the time she was done, he was already used to standing on the rim over a large bowl of water.
Oh, and if you have a cat who has urinary or G.I. tract issues, you DO NOT want to toilet train it, as you probably need to monitor how often they relieve themselves.
