Late last night, I was happily surprised to catch Juju making her doo-doo in the new box setup. I tried my best to give her privacy, but made sure that immediately after she was done that I gave her a treat and lots of praising and petting. Of course, when you put out treats for one cat, the other comes running for their share. Well, they both got a snack, however I made sure to dispense the treat in the training bathroom so that perhaps they will associate the yummies with the room as being a positive environment.
I scooped out the waste from my oatmeal-cookie-batter litter, as it's best to keep the device clean and as fresh as possible so that the girls won't look elsewhere to do their business.
This morning, I found one of the girls had also used the new setup as their catbox. I betcha it was Maya. Sweet! I again cleaned out the chunks and deposited them in the toilet. Flushable litter is the best! Yeah, and oops, I was so excited last night about Juju that I forgot to flush the toilet from the previous night's poo.
I am so thrilled that they didn't rebel and go stashing nuggets around the house. I swear, Maya is a nut. She was picking at the litter scattered on the floor again this morning. Guess you gotta get your fiber where you can!
I've noticed that they're making more of a mess with the litter since the Kwitter box is smaller than their regular catbox. That's OK because the bathroom is dedicated to their training and I don't have to step out of the shower into cat litter.
I suppose I should post pictures of the girls and give a brief description of them and their personalities. It will be interesting to see if one of them learns at a quicker pace than the other. They are sisters from the same litter, however they are almost like polar opposites.
