We were quite skeptical about the Litter Kwitter after buying a “CityKitty” a few months earlier which we threw out after a few weeks because there was no way of taking a step back after we physically cut out a larger hole in the plastic. It also was quite “wobbly” for the cat to stand on. Now I know why the Litter Kwitter costs twice the price…it’s made of high-quality plastic (the same material as what hard-hats are made of according to the manufacturer) and it’s 3 rings mean you can go back a step if needed.
Anyway, after asking the very patient folks at Cleverlad Pets 8 questions about the product, we finally decided to buy one and we are very impressed with our cat’s progress in using it most of the time after a few weeks.
After getting him to use the tray on the floor for a couple of weeks with the red ring, we moved it up onto the toilet and then changed to the orange ring on week 3…I think we probably were a little too impatient with our expectations at that point, because went a couple of times on the floor next to the toilet bowl, and became ultra-fascinated by the hole where I think he could see his relfection in the water! At this point, we reverted back to the red tray for a few days until he was using it consistently again before changing back to the orange ring.
To cut a long story short, we’re now onto the Green (go) ring and “Jeebus” is using it about 90% of the time after about 6 weeks of training.
We absolutely love not having to clean up a stinky litter tray anymore, or worrying about what germs Jeebus has on his paws from scratching through the litter.
Many thanks to Cleverlad Pets for your patience and great customer service. We hope to report more progress soon, but for now, here’s a video of Jeebus using the Litter Kwitter
Works great if you don’t rush it and don’t start on the floor as they say, but on the toilet. Use stepping blocks so kitty can reach the potty (I used a cinder block wrapped in a towel). You must use the cristal type litter, not clay, or you will have a blocked sewer line. I’ve used this for 2 of my kitties and it works best if you have it in place when you bring kitty home. I stop at the green level so kitty will have a more stable ’squat’. At this level, nothing has to be moved for ‘people’ use except to put the seat down. Remember to put it back up for kitty. I lay tp on the water to stop the ’splash’ from poo. If you have one of the elongated toilets, you’ll need to cut off part of it. I used a saber saw.
This is positively the greatest invention for cat owners.
The kit has a DVD which easily explains the method step by step. The trays fit easily on the toilet and my kitten went quickly from the first tray with litter to the last step with no tray and no litter. He was trained in just 4 weeks! Having a litterbox free home is like paradise!
No smell, no mess just flush!
After years of dealing with the dirty cat box, and Roo’s bad habit of doing #2 on the floor if it wasn’t cleaned to her satisfaction (and it never was), we’re well on our way to her using the toilet! This system has the advantage of being very sturdy to hold up even large cats and being re-usable for future cats or if you move and need a refresher course. But nothing’s perfect — be prepared for it to take time, maybe longer than they suggest. Each cat is different. Roo is stubborn and hates changes, so we’ve had to take it really SLOW! She’s been in training now for 3-1/2 months. But once she got over her resistance to a hole in the 2nd potty pan, she quickly figured out that all the waste goes away with the flush, which very much appealed to her. She’s on pan #3 now and hopefully will graduate to the toilet seat soon.
I have some advisements for anyone wanting to try it —
1- Since you are supposed to start out with the system on the floor after switching it out with the old litter pan, you should use a litter liner over the whole thing and put the litter in that, especially if your cat pees around the edges of his/her litter box. It will leak on the floor if you don’t, which is definitely no fun to clean up. The liner will prevent that. No problem once it’s up on the toilet — any leaks go into the toilet then and a liner would defeat the purpose.
2- Also, make a change to a scoopable, flushable litter at the outset, even before changing from the old litter pan. It’ll make it easier. It’s hard to get soiled litter out with a large litter scoop, esp. if it doesn’t clump, partly due to the raised rings that train the cat where the next hole rim will be, etc. A narrower scoop would help if you can find one or jerry-rig something.
3- Of the flushable litters on the market, I recommend Swheat Scoop brand, which is finely flaked wheat chaff, and very similar in texture to clay scoopable litter. It clumps, if a bit loosely, which the paper pellet flushables don’t at all. Some cats don’t like the lumpy texture of the paper pellets either. If the new stuff is close in texture to what they used before, it will help. (We had set-backs partly because I couldn’t get the Swheat Scoop ’til we were already into the system several weeks.)
It takes patience, esp. with only one bathroom, but it’s worth it. Lots of encouragement, and a little bribery, help, too. (Remember that cats are mercenary little creatures — kittens are easy when they’re still young enough to care what you want. Grown ones usually don’t give a damn.) Then no more smell, no more fuss, and the coolest cat on the block. Easier to do with kittens and easy-going cats. Older, stubborn, or particularly difficult ones (you know if you have one — Roo’s 95% Siamese) may take longer. Don’t be discouraged by that. Even tho’ it’s taking us 4 months (or more?) instead of 6-8 weeks as the product’s makers indicate, the end result is still worth it!
I bought Litter Quitter for my 3 month old kitten. I had previously bought Kitty Whiz, which was not useable. When I received the Litter Quitter, I was amazed how sturdy it was compared to the previous product. I have been training my kitten for about one month and she is doing very well so far. The Litter Quitter site has a lot of hints for training your cat. I would recommend this product!
I’ve toilet trained several cats in the past using a competor’s product. While it did work, there was no room for error. For example, if your cat regresses for any reason, there’s no going back because you’ve alrealy removed a ring from the product. Also, the competor’s product is so flimsy, that my cats fell through it during training on more than one occasion. I’m now training my cats with Litter Kwitter and I can be sure that if I move too quickly, I can easily go back a step. If the need ever arrises, I can retrain from step one without re-buying the product. Any new kittens can also be trained without another purchase. It’s strong, reliable, and reusable. A+ and I’ve toilet trained cats since 1992.
First the white training tray does not fit my standard size toilet. Its sides are too tight and it pops right off my toilet. In order to get the tray to fit I had to tape it down with duct tape. Now maybe this is the size of toilets in china where it is manufactured but toilets are a different size in the US. Not are toilets are narrow.
Secondly, you cannot put your toilet seat down when the training tray is on the toilet. The thickness of the material prevents your seat from being in the down position. When I researched cat toilet training every picture I saw of a cat on a toilet had a cat sitting on the toilet seat. There is no way I want my cat balancing on the small rim of my toilet bowl.
Lastly, although its nice to have individual discs for the training device what no one mentions is this device only comes with two rings that have holes in them. This means litter kwitter expects your cat to adapt to the toilet in just two steps. As soon as I put the orange disc on (the first ring with a hole) my cat freaked out. Its opening was so large that my cat would not use it at all and went all over my rug and my bed out of spite.
