Toilet Training A Cat
A Tragedy in Five Acts
So as you know, I ordered a cat toilet training kit from The Internet. It is basically a litter box that fits inside the toilet and it has perforated rings that you pop out of the plastic bottom one at a time. Through the course of the training the holes get bigger and bigger until your cat is unwittingly relieving himself in the toilet sans litter. But cats are tricky creatures. Oscar was cool with climbing up to the toilet to go in the litter, but once we popped the first hole out he freaked. He constipated himself, actually. He held his pee so long that he had to pee on his favorite rug in the kitchen. And then he did that weird cat thing that cats do where they use their little paws to cover up their pee by brushing dirt or litter or, in this case, a rug over the pee to, I suppose, conceal it from the world.
I tried to put a piece of toilet paper over the hole in the litter box and cover that with litter like a bear trap but that didn't work either. He's too clever.
Ultimately I decided that trying to get Oscar to poop into the toilet was tantamount to torture for the poor animal and now Billy and I are on the lookout for a new litter box. Maybe we'll get one of those nice ones with a roof over it.
