YAY! AHHHHHHHH!

Ok so none of my real life friends give a rats arse but I'm so excited :LOL:

This might be long but here is the background...we're doing CitiKitty- it's kind of like Litter Quitter, which I noticed a lot of people here have tried...but to me, the steps looked more gradual so I went with that one. Vince came to us pee trained on the toilet already...his previous mommy said she thinks it is because he wasn't a big fan of the "traffic" at the litterboxes (he was a king- she bred him for a few years and I assume lots of learning kittens in and out of the litter annoyed him? lol)...and she caught him going in the sink a few times and would just set him on the toilet, he took right to it in about a week.

WELL he did not take right to pooping on it lol. He did fine with the litter in there, but as soon as I poked a ring out he wanted to poop in my sink :Shok: So I filled it with water, which sent him to the bathtub, so I filled IT with water...and he'd jump in and poop right in the water...:LOL: Even if it had been in there all night and was freezing!

Last night, on a whim I got some of that scratch deterrent spray they have at walmart(smartykat i think is the brand). It has lemon oil and eucalyptus and nothing that can hurt them. I think it smells great, Vince apparently does not ;)

Soaked the entire bathroom, every inch of it including the floor, except for the toilet- with enzyme cleaner, let it dry, then sprayed it down with the no scratch spray, and then sprayed the toilet with some of that catnip mist. I took the stupid CitiKitty off completely.

Woke up this morning to half a tootsie roll on the seat and a bunch in the toilet! :ThumbsUp: I was so excited it was all I could do to resist grabbing him out of bed for a treat <3 Now if only he'd keep it up! I figured maybe this would work for someone else so it couldn't hurt to overshare :LOL:

Wow! It's not very often that a cat will toilet train themselves. That is awesome. Lol about pooping in a tub fu of water. I bet he hovered over the side.

Congrats to you and your easily trained cat!

Thank you! I am actually in awe, and so grateful every day... his mommy was amazing, he's 4 and it's obvious he had a LOT of training before he came to own us!

He actually was jumping right in the full tub(like he does at bath time) then would jump his cold, soaking wet butt back in my bed! The only bonus of this maneuver is- no poop tail! :LOL:
