Craig and I were talking tonight. Our babies will be turning 2 on April 1st. (ALREADY!!) All three boys are sooo big and we were talking about how much we miss them being kittens, clumsy, and silly. He really loves the Russian Blue, and I do as well. So after talking.. he has made a deal with me.
If I can figure out a way to teach our boys to use the toilet instead of the litter box.. we'll get a new kitty. I'm so excited, only now I have to figure out exactly HOW to make them use the toilet.
Tonight I put the litterbox on top of the toilet in the bathroom downstairs, and sat down with them for a while by the litterbox to show them where it was. I think they like it better up there because its a bit higher off the ground and they love heights (as do most cats). I'll see how that goes for a while.. and then I'll try taking the cover off the box, and eventually just put the bag on the toilet and see how they do.
Gonna make a stop at Border's Bookstore and see if I can find a book on toilet training cats as well. Craig had two cats that were trained to use the toilet, and he loved no having a mess to clean up.
I think I'm in for a big adventure.
