The Litter kwitter!!!

[IrishKitty]

I am aware that Maine Coons are very intelligent and can be thought new tricks but I'm wondering what do experienced cat owners think of the Litter Kwitter?

Litter Kwitter - The Original Cat Toilet Training Kit

I have to admit when I heard of it first , I thought this is amazing and it would be wonderful not to have a litter tray in the house but then I read various statements about cats getting stressed etc.

What is your opinion on it good or bad?

You know what, I was discussing this with my hubby about a month ago. I think it's a good idea IF your cat is willing to do it.

While I have an open mind about this, my husband is a bit cynical. His argument was that he's too scared that the cat would fall in the toilet and obviously injure himself/herself and also the stress that it may cause.

Would be interesting to hear what other people think about this, and whether anyone has actually attempted this on their Maine Coons.

Ria: I have been considering it...the real reason is it would free up more space for us, as living in an apartment, we are more restricted for space. I would be very concerned though about stressing a cat out and am still happy for him to use his litter tray if he is is happier and more relaxed to do so!

Just an interesting link I found to some more questions/answers about the Litter Kwitter.

I really don't see my cats using the toilet. If anybody comes and tells me that it really works in reallife I'm willing to try.
If you have a small appartment you could consider buying a small cupboard, table or wooden hallcupboard (large enough for the littertray), make a hole in it and place the littertray inside.

[Jasper&Bailey]

We are using the litter kwitter for our two mc's Jasper & Bailey (Soon to be 6 months old on Wednesday) we are still on the red stage, which has now been four weeks but in their defence they very quickly got the hang of it so we moved them onto the amber stage and had our first accident as they would only use it under supervision. So we went back to red and have been waiting for our week off which is a week tomorrow so that we can give them the time they need to get the hang of it. Getting them to use the red stage up on the toilet was purely down to them, they knew exactly what to do. We've just started having some more problems with accidents from only Jasper, he can go days with out a problem and then.....oops. I have read elsewhere that this can be a problem with dominanance and often goes away once they have been neutered which is being done a week tomorrow so we'll see.
It's not been much fun using the litter kwitter because it has to be kept completely clean all the time and MC's drink and drink and drink!! but you've got to keep your eye on the prize, once it's done we've got 10-20 years litter free! For £30 I would strongly recommend it. Bought ours in Pets at Home.
