Tigger and Sheboo are toilet trained!

Kushi has already learned most of her basic obedience commands (still working on improving "Stay"), but Tigger and Sheboo are even more impressive: they have been trained to go on the toilet, thus relieving their human owners from the mess and stink of kitty litter! Don't believe it? Here's the proof, showing Tigger doing Number 2:


How did we do it? Let's just say it took a loooong time and a lot of patience. Tigger actually learned very quickly, but Sheboo was very stubborn and took a lot longer. Two years longer. It really depends on the individual cat. Training two cats at the same time is actually four times as hard as training just one cat. If you want to train your own cat, we used the techniques described in a cat toilet training forum.

We even installed an automatic toilet flusher, which I like. A lot. When I do my business on the other toilet that doesn't have the automatic flusher, I look at it in severe disappointment that I have to manually flush the toilet.
