I am not a cat fan, but when we found these flee ridden, wormy 4 months old kittens, we took them in anyway. Part of the reason I am against cats, is the smell of the litter, the accidents, the litter all over the house. So we decided to toilet train them. We stuck a turkey pan in the toilet, filled it with litter, then started cutting holes in it. We are at the point where there is just a small ring with litter left, and everything else is hole. The cats both use it reliably. They are now about a year old, both male, both neutered.
However, when it come to Number 2.... They both use the bath tub. One Youtube video suggested to fill the tub with an inch of water. Did that. Ended up with poop in the water filled tub from one cat, and poop on the door mat from the other. If I make the tub inaccessible, they will prefer the door mat. If I lock them in the bathroom for an hour (They poop between 7.30 and 8 am in the morning), they will use the sink, in front of the toilet or else. WHY if they hate the toilet so much that they won't poop into it, will they pee in it? That being said, I 'caught' one pooping in the toilet once... Is it the aluminum? Is it the litter? Might it be easy to pee but more acrobatically demanding to poop from a toilet seat? (The latter being my theory). Any ideas?
