Kitty's Loo™ - Superior Cat Toilet Training Kit - The Original Cat Training Seat - Patented - USA Made - Portable and Durable

Before deciding on this product, I read many reviews on several other products, and most talked about the primary problem being poor fitting seats. My little feral-turned-house-cat would abandon this entire process the first (and last) time she jumped up on a seat that wobbled. This seat had the widest, latest base it seemed to me, and I was right. It fits perfectly over the toilet seat, and after she gets more accustomed to it, I will probably remove the toilet seat entirely. At the moment, it leaves about a half inch gap when flat on the bowl, and no toilet seat used. It also makes it easy to tape the top back, and tape the Kitty Loo down, which is essential for a skittish cat.In order to make things even easier for her, I bought a set of plastic pet stairs (about $22) so she can just climb the stairs up to her throne, and it is perfect for her. I think these things are very important for the process.All that said, she dealt with it all perfectly, and we are in step 3 in the brochure process, where we are reducing the litter in the center holder, to the point of having only the hole, which I suspect will be in another 4 days. I had a book that said that rising them is the cause fo most mistakes, so I'm not rushing her, and thus far she has had no accidents. It does take a day or so for them to get their aim right it seems.I can't imagine this being any easier than Kitty Loo's system. She hated the litter process, I hated it, and we are so much happier already. I tried to upload photos but couldn't make it work.

First, training cats to do this takes time and patient so you need to go slow. I think you can tell if your cat absolutely won’t go for it but the ones who are willing to go the first few steps you should keep on trying. My cat is 7 year old and I trained her once 5 years ago but she stopped suddenly. My guess was she fell in and got scared. The first time I did not buy a kit but made my own out of many foil trays, use two if you cannot find sturdy ones and of course you have to measure your toilet to find trays that fit. I started out with litter and no holes, then less litter and start bigger holes. It took six months.When she stopped using it I went back to litter box When I saw this with area much bigger than toilet rim I bought it because I truly believe my cat fell in and was scared, this gives her more room to stand on.When I received this item it did not fit snugly on top, it can move when a cat try to jump on it so right away I put it under the toilet ring so the ring can keep it from moving. I also did not have non clumping litter handy so I put a foil pan under to catch the fall through litter until I can buy non clumping ones. I started out using the bowl given but ditch it soon after because it is too small and my cat making a mess flinging litter every where. Instead I put a foil tray underneath and cut out holes like I did the first time. So basically I went back to my old method using trays and cut out holes. My cat have no problem peeing but occasionally she poo next to the toilet, why is she doing this?, maybe she did not like the splashing sound of the poo, not gently like pees?. I started to put some toilet paper in the bowl after flushing to soften the sound. She has not poo outside the toilet for a week now, good sign.So, I bought this in early December and now I still have tray under neath but the hole is so big that all of her business went in the toilet. I forgot to mention that when I make the hole I make a lip so litter stay in, I still have some litter on the tray but barely since the hole is too big. I am planning to remove the final tray in a month. It has taken a long time and I lose the use of a toilet but it is so worth it.

I considered all options for toilet training and chose this one for the following reasons:CONS:-It’s thin and not bulky for when I travel with the cat-it provides a layer of protection so him and I don’t have to use the same surface-it’s easy to take off the toilet-it is reusable and durable in case you want to train more than one cat or your baby needs to take a step back and start overCONS:- The price seems expensive considering that I needed to make adjustments and buy other things for this to work.- It is of all the options the more sensical for me and my comfort but perhaps the least intuitive one for my catADJUSTMENTS and solutions:- it should come with its own litter box that is the right size and height providing stability for the step 1. For the price, this should be provided. Plus it’s so hard to find one that is the right size for the kitty loo lid.- the top surface should be slanted slightly or the slanted inner ring should be more slanted or thicker- this should come with better gripping stickers and a way or handle to Stick the system to the toilet sides.(ADVICE FOR BUYERS)- buy a small litter box for phase 1. The smallest you can find. I bought the NESS Or VANNES one here in Amazon the small size, it was about $5. The important thing is that the lid over the litter box is stable. I lost weeks on end on progressing because the cat got scared that the litter box plus toilet thing kept flipping over while he was attempting to get on. For stability I had to end up putting two cans of cat food (tiki cat 5oz fit) on each side handle of the kitty loo lid. My cat is 12 pounds, and he definitely needed the stability. Each time the thing flipped it took 2 weeks to get back on track.-I believe this was successful because I have an adaptable extroverted cat and I was home 100% of the time. He needed a lot of comforting and encouraging words and then he would go. He held his pee for 12 hours sometimes and I had to persuade him with litter pouring and staying there next to him. So if you work 8 hours out of the home I don’t think this is for you. You will come home to pee in the bathtub or poo in the floor. When we transition esto the toilet he started looking for other places, since I was there with him I kept redirecting him to the toilet and blocking the other places where I could see he was considering going. Patience, patience, patience. I only have one toilet and several people use it so I had to lock myself with the cat sometimes until he went. And I saw him struggle to Aim and he would give up etc.In the end he is a good communicator and will let me know when he’s stressed and needs me to sit w him and watch him pee. We are still in the second to final stage. This stage is much easier than the previous one where the litter box was in tHe floor but with litter in the receptacle since I have clumping litter so it would be hard to clean each time he peed and I ended up using pee pads underneath but then realized it was easier to just clean and Clorox the whole thing after each use. This stage was hard. I believe keeping it clean matters and helps them in the process. Don’t give up at this point it gets much easier in the next step.-LITTER CHOICE: It matters! Some cats will need to be transitioned out of their litter like mine did, but for the stage where the pee goes in the toilet I decided to change the litter and switch from my worlds best cat litter clumpable and flushable litter to the cat genie biodegradable washable plastic one. OMG much much better choice. The cat pees and I just pour water over it and clean it out that way. Often I’ll put desinfectante and then pour water over it while on the toilet still, and then just flush. The clumping one was pure misery. I try to clean it and switch it for dry pellets so that there’s no tracking. He doesn’t seem to mind.I give him a treat after he goes which has resulted in him letting me know he went each time. Sometimes he tells me before going cos he needs company. All in all, I’m glad I bought it, and he seems to be adjusting. I just wish I would have known these things before hand to have a more streamlined process.
