How it works: The system uses three color-coded discs, beginning with red, which is filled with litter and is first placed near the toilet, then under the seat. Once the cat understands where to go, owners move on to using the amber disk, which has a hole in the middle and litter around the outsides. Fredricks began working on the system with her feline and now Litter Kwitter spokescat, Doogie.
She said while moving forward with the design she incorporated the advice of animal behaviorists, veterinarians and breeders. And the underlings bury their waste in deference to the dominant cat. For most cats, she said, it takes about eight weeks to learn, although Doogie was toilet-trained in two weeks.
She said she had a waiting list before the product was even made. Mother-of-two Jo Lapidge is flushed with success after teaching her family's Burmese cat, Doogal, to use the toilet. The Litter-Kwitter is a three-step process, starting with a red toilet seat-shaped disc filled with cat litter and sitting on the floor next to the toilet, like a normal tray. Next the red disc is placed on the toilet so the cat can get used to jumping up on to the seat.
Then the red disc is replaced with an amber disc with a small hole. Then the red disc is replaced with an amber disc with a small hole. When the cat is accustomed to the water below, the amber disc is replaced with a green disc which has a larger hole.
The aim is that fastidious felines should eventually be able to use a normal toilet seat. The queue for the toilet is about to get longer. Fed up with the mess created by kitty litter and inspired by the cat? Although cats can be trained to use the toilet without the Litter Kwitter, its step-by-step system is the simplest way to gradually introduce your cat to the toilet.
The Litter Kwitter is ideal for people looking to end litterbox woes of gritty floors and frequent cleanings. Bold, confident cats 3 months of age and up are ideal candidates for potty training. Fearful kitties, arthritic felines or cats who already have difficulty using the litterbox are not the best candidates for toilet training. Going to the bathroom outside the litterbox is one of the top reasons cats are surrendered to shelters, so teaching your cat to consistently go in a designated area — either a litterbox or a toilet — is much more important than eliminating litter from your cat's routine.
Curious about how toilet training a cat works? Wondering if it could work for your cat? It does everything but teach your cat to flush! The Litter Kwitter system consists of four color-coded training trays that fit over the rim of a standard toilet.
The first tray is a white rim that fits over the toilet seat and anchors the other trays. The second tray is red and has no hole but holds four to five cups of litter just like a regular litterbox; it hooks onto the white tray. The next two trays each have a hole in the center with a lip that holds litter.
As your cat gets more confident with the toilet, you will change from the amber tray which has a fairly small hole to the green tray which has a bigger hole.
