We have a family of 6 humans, (1 mummy, 1 daddy and 4 teenage lads)2 cats and until a recent death by snake bite, two dogs, now 1. I read about the Litter Kwitter early on, and had to wait for tax refunds before being able to purchase it. We were all (humans) very excited by the prospect of no litter boxes in the home.
Soot and Smudge are sisters, who totally adore me, their mother, and won't let me out of their sight, be that at the computer (on my lap) watching t.v. (on my lap) in the bathroom (on my lap) or showering (meowing at the screen door) and then promptly into the shower recess once I'm done to sit on the wet floor.
Our 2 kittens, 8 months when we began this process, took to the red stage every quickly, as the tray has always been in our ensuite and they sleep in the shower recess. However, after about 3 weeks I changed to the amber stage and they have refused to use the toilet ever since. I reverted to the red disc, which they will use but no further progress.
Heck, they drink out of the bowl!
Our problem is massive in that the girls will pee on anything - in the larder, on rolls of toilet paper(12 pk) every doona in the house has had to be washed-some more than once, pillows, piles of freshly folded laundry, the lounge, our boys school work, books, documents, my handbag, empty laundry baskets, the bathroom sink, a dolls pram, a bucket of kindling for the fire, bath mats, ... everything except the toilet and the litter tray.
We have tried keeping them in the bathroom for several hours with the litter kwitter on the toilet, when they come out it is clean, they go pee on our things - see we'll teach you!
Short of giving them away - which only gives someone else the problem -does anyone have the solution? We are seriously coming to the end of any love of kittens and cats!
