Well, I think they would use the same loo, when I had two cats they both used the same litter box. It may even be easier if one cat is trained, a kitten may learn by example? The goal is to eventually have no ring and they just hop up and do their business. I have heard you can teach them to flush, but I do not think that is a good idea. I think my little monster would flush for fun, she loves to watch the water and stick her paws in if she can.

Yeah that sounds sensible about the cats sharing the rings. So do you have to empty the ring with no hole quite frequently as it does seem quite shallow? As I will be at work and only popping back to feed the kittens at lunch I am a little worried they'll have an accident if the ring is full.

Oh and I will have 2 kittens doing this when I get them lol so double trouble eeek!! I might buy 2 kits though as I do have an upstairs and a downstairs loo which might help matters. I will keep an eye on your progress and read up on the kit some more.

Thanks

The flushing, while convenient, could be a problem. Here is Baxter in action when he was a kitten. YouTube. Hope the link works. :LOL:

You wait until the kittens are spayed or neutered before you start training. I always kept her litter box in the bathroom so she was already used to doing her business in that room. The first ring is solid, the second one has a hole and the third one has a bigger hole. When you are done you no longer use any ring and they poo on the loo. It has taken a lot longer than they said but whatever all good!

Kim, Thanks, that is so cool! I want one for Miss Ginger, although I am afraid Bentley would try and rescue her from the tent :rofl:

Well done! What a huge amount of patience you must possess! Although, I think this success speaks volumes about your Coon's intelligence. They are so smart!

Unfortunately, I know I do not possess your superhuman patience and with only one toilet in my apartment I know I am too lazy to switch it out for human use whilst training. Doesn't stop me from being envious!

I am home all day so Miss Ginger's box is always clean. Besides having dogs that eat poop is also incentive to keep a clean litter box. I think she really only poos twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. I think if you clean the litter at lunch and before you go to bed it will always stay clean. The liquid is a little more problematic. I use blue buffalo flushing litter and when she pees I clean it with tp and flush it. The solid ring hold enough litter for most doodies haha anyways. It really is not a big deal to change it, I have a gate on the bathroom door that is way more annoying than the litter kwitter. I did discover not to set the ring on the tub edge when I use the loo, because Ginger will jump on it every time. We all just pop it on the sink and use the loo no biggie. I think she gets joy out of watching me jump up and have litter in my shoes the little monster. I am using the last ring during the day and so far she loves pushing litter into the toilet, go figure. But if I get her trained the OH says I can have a boy kitten =^..^= mow
