Solved our cats pooping problem in less than 2 days....

[kitakat]

We just started LK a week and a half ago. Kita, our lovely calico, adapted to the LK on the floor fairly quickly, and we moved it up to the toilet after 2 days.

The day after we moved LK to the toilet, she peed in the red disc, but pooped on the mat next to the toilet where the LK had been located the day before. We removed the mat from the bathroom and thought that by the next day Kita would know to poop in the LK on the toilet. She peed in the LK and this time pooped on the mat in the entrance of our house. I said to my husband, "Maybe she's confused about what she needs to do..."

So before removing the poop from the mat at the entrance, he showed the cat the poop, then brought her to the toilet and put her on the LK. And again, as he cleaned the poop from the entrance with a paper towel, he held the poop under her nose so she could sniff it, then picked her up and showed her the LK again. The next day what do you know, she pooped on the LK and has been going there ever since!

We're anxious to move on to the amber stage since she's doing so well, but we definitely don't want to rush it so we're going to give her another few days before switching disks.
