City Kitty... What to do??

johnsmith456 · 3rd September 2006, 6:20 AM

Has anyone got a cat / kitten in an apartment? Or have they tried the www.citikitty.com ? I am thinking about getting one of these and wondering what people's experience with them has been. Or if there are any better alternatives? My cat doesn't always like to piss in his kitty litter =\
Cheers!!

what kind of litter are you using as that may be the issue...

also i think that thing is a bit of a rip-off of this one:

i think id have a problem with using the same toilet as my cat...

...plus my cat always does her business in her litter, you might be using a brand with a scent that your cat isnt attracted to.

he does it in other places.. its really annoying, like sometimes he will do it on dirty clothes, or in the drain holes around the house.. eg sink, bath, shower.. its getting a pain, even when we punish him he still does it :|

You need to anticipate when your cat needs to eliminate and take him/her to the appropriate spot when it's time. Give it no chance to do it elsewhere in the house but don't confine it for longer than necessary. My cat "goes" just after waking up in the monring, just before breakfast time, late in the afternoon, and just before dinner.

Also, if your cat isn't already castrated/spayed and is over five months old or so, get it done!

BTW, to toilet-train a cat, he/she will first need to be using the litter every time without fail.
