Dawning of a New Era

Yes, yes. I'm working on my presentation and reviewing all things immunology, vaccinology, and all that fun stuff. But I'm also inspired...


...to teach our kitties to use the toilet like civilized beings!

Although to be quite honest,

this picture doesn't look all that civilized.
But everybody poos!
So don't laugh!

I'm sick of stepping on little bits of litter all over the house. My tootsies are litter magnets! And I can't get it off unless I wipe with my hands or find a rug. It's messy. It's stinky. It grosses me out. And let's be honest, its a total pain in my derrière to scoop twice a day. (And, yes, scooping twice a day is absolutely necessary. My kitties are demanding prima donna princesses that way - I blame Greg, he's a neat-freak too. But at least he's potty trained.)

I've done the research. I'm using a mix of advice from here, here and here. I've bought aluminum pans and flushable litter. And I can be very, very patient when necessary.

Training starts today! Wish me luck.
