Toilet Training Weeks Five and Six

The last time I posted on Gizmo's progress, things had slowed down quite a bit. We quickly moved from introduction to stage two in the Litter Kwitter process but Gizmo was having trouble letting go of using copious amounts of litter and she also did not like the idea of doing her business in a hole. So we took it easy for four weeks. We stayed on phase two for an extra long time to make sure she was comfortable about it.

On Monday we decided it was time to move to stage three. She wasn't positioning herself correctly, but we took a gamble. Stage three has a very large hole, making it almost impossible to miss. We had some fears of her refusing to use it and then peeing on our bed, but sure enough we woke up at 5 am hearing her tinkle going into the toilet! We are really happy with the progress she has made and it is safe to say our cat is a genius!

Although in-person she is very social, Gizmo is extremely camera shy.

She's not exactly happy with her new situation. She whined and whined for hours Tuesday night before she went #2. But, she went. Hopefully things are working out to her liking now. She seems to be okay with it so far, she just really hates it when she can't bury her #2s. We're going to take it slow with moving to the next stage, so it'll probably be two or three weeks before we try to move to the big big hole. Anyway, that's our progress in almost six weeks. The box says we should be able to do it all in eight weeks or less, we we'll have to see just how smart our cat is!
