CitiKitty Cat Toilet Training Kit

If you are going to purchase this product you have to be aware that it doesn't come with will power! This kit does work but it takes persistence! We have two cats which we trained from kittens, one got it completely after about four months, the other over a year but I still maintain it's miles easier than cleaning out a stinky litter tray! I would advise always treating the cat afterwards, mine are so well trained now they meow to call you up to tell you they've been as they want their treats! I agree it is pretty flimsy material but from kitten size to junior it's absolutely fine. Hopefully if training went well you wouldn't need it when they are big anyway!

Bought this one in favor of the more expensive versions as I was hesitant as to how my cat would react but so far so good. About halfway with training and she seems to be slowly learning how to balance, I think this has more to do with the personality of my cat than the product. The only major downfall with this is the flimsy quality of the material as on a few occasions the tray has buckled in and scared my cat which knocked her confidence and set back training , I have a very small cat so his would definitely not be ideal with medium to large cats unless you make it stronger which i did by inserting the back up tray and adding a wooden splint to the back section to support the tray better and this has worked so far. This would be an amazing product if the plastic was thicker and the section easier to cut out as this does leave sharp edges. Overall easy to clean , the catnip supplied was good to get her interested in the beginning fast delivery from seller a plus

We bought it as we recently moved and have no acces to garden any more. It seem like good idea to train our cat to toilet as addition to litter. Well let me tell you whoever get this idea was pure madman that never owned a cat. We had cats in past that used toilet but it was all on their devices. to acctually train cat to using toilet is very slow and frustrating process (cats aint the most obediant pets). It may be ok for some other people but if your cat dont like this idea of using toilet you will have hard time to convince her. On top of all that if you finaly do train her I can guarantee that ONE think will go wrong ONE Thing - cat slip in toilet, falls out of toilet, get spooked by toilet, etc. (you name it) and you are back to sqaure ONE. So yeah its this good device and easy to use? Yep it is. Is this a good idea? Definately not (at least not for every cat)

Just tried to teach an ordinary 'rooftop' kitty, born in April 2015; had to discontinue and went back to using traditional cat basin, after 2 extraordinary difficult weeks trying to get the cat to understand the last 2 rings, Quite right it makes extraordinary amounts of stress... which she might just be too young for. Possible causes for this - the kitty just could not get over the decreasing depth and amount of cat litter; she has really strong 'burying' instinct; when she can't bury, she roams around the house and does /it/ in corners... It became so bad, she'd rather go to a corner, than to the toilet at all. Also she had a stress a few times (witnessed it once or twice) when she jumped off the lower insert, and it sprang up (having recessed quite deep under her weight) spraying her pee and the other business around - she just could not grip that she needs to crouch on the toilet seat, not on the insert. Tried to counteract this, by mounting a spacer underneath to stop it from sliding forward and slipping off the back edge of the porcelain, but I think I missed the right time and it did not help. Even by using the second auxiliary insert (included) the cat just could not get over this stress. Also, because half the cat litter was landing in the toilet, for her burying instinct, we started using the compressed paper litter while the toilet training was on already - so the change in the type of litter might have contributed to 'too many changes at a time'... The paper litter only apparently works when it's applied in thick layers and plays well with cat's 'burying' instinct. On the other hand the traditional 'fuller earth' litter was landing inside the 'porcelain' en masse and that would have been even worse if we let it continue - we had to change. At least with the paper litter, we can 'just' porcelain it and flush because it disintegrates in the water easily. Therefore I give the product only 4 stars, because as an idea we love it. Maybe we will try again in the future, maybe when her instinct becomes less of an issue.

Ok, my wife made me get rid of this before we got chance to use it, but I love the fact that it exists. It might work for your cat, but it might not. The hilarity of opening the Amazon box to find this looking at you, though, is worth the cost alone! The Free Catnip that's included isn't the best quality, but what can you expect from a freebee?

So far the training has just begun, but I'm already hating this product. Not because my cats doesn't use it, but because it's cheap and for one use only. Once you have fully trained your cat, you need to throw it away. New cat? New training kit. And you can't have heavy cats as they will just end up destroying it from their weight. Find a training kit from a different company where it's not made of simple plastic you need to cut through

My cats never progressed to the last and final stage where you remove the last ring somehow they got really attached to it and just get very confused when its gone but nevertheless not through the products fault but because of their inability to commit to this life changing decision to just use the loo as everybody else does:D I have learned to respect that and we keep the last ring permanently on as the cleaning and changing litter was much more inconvenient.

Hi.I received this product today.I can say this cat training kit is not bad at all,arrive with clear instructions included,fits my toilet seat quite well & my kitten used it just in 10 minutes after installation (((((((For easier toilet training reference -I will recommend to put about 50g of used kitty litter stones in new training kit and mix in.As we all know cats follow the sense of smell :) ))))) ...... See how we gonna getting on in the future ..:)

Kat already checked it out. Shouldn't be hard to train her

مش وحشة بس قطتي محبتوش

difficult with 2 cats, and one should start early or have a great amount of patience. I got to stage 4 for 1 cat and had to give up as the other cat was giving accidents (and to force them on this loo I had to remove the other loos). But definitely worth a try! I might try again after some time.

Ci ho creduto ma non ci siamo riusciti...dopo un mese ho comprato la lettiera....mi sono accorta che dopo il secondo cerchio la gattina faceva solo la pipì....più raramente il resto....quando è scappata nella vasca in cerca di sabbia ho capito.... Tuttavia il set è ben preparato e l insuccesso non è colpa del prodotto. Peccato....Ci speravo....

Here is a detailed review of the process so far. I will edit it again when the conversion process is done. Here's a little background info. Nyan was 16 weeks when we started this. He was using a traditional litter box with no issue. He is at home alone all day and has full run of the house. Whenever we make a change we close off access to all rooms except the common areas to that there is less chance of him making a mistake in one of those rooms. About the product: On first inspection...the plastic tray seemed cheap and I thought my cat would freak out because it was a bit wobbly. But it did it's job no problem. Besides, it is just going to get cut up, washed and recycled, so it didn't need to be super heavy duty plastic. The wobbliness really does help the cat get used to balancing on the edge. Week 1 - Sunday, Litter box in the same room with the City Kitty tray in place...with litter. About Day three (Tuesday) I placed him on top of the toilet in the tray and guided his paw through the litter, so he knew it was there. On Thursday morning, I removed the litter box altogether. Goodbye you stinky, gross thing. Kitty was doing his business in the tray. He got into a routine. I'd come to check the tray for waste, he'd hop up there do his thing when he was done. I'd clean it up and I'd give him a treat. Thursday evening, I removed the smallest insert. The cat didn't even notice. We stayed like that for 2 more days. Week 2 - Sunday, I removed the second insert. No big deal. Kitty used it just like a regular litter box. He was a little unhappy with the small amount of litter, but by Monday evening he didn't care. At this point he only does his business when I'm downstairs, cause he knows he's going to get a treat. :) Week 3 - Removing the third insert Sunday evening. We stayed at this phase for 2 weeks. Kitty was very interested in what was in the hole and put his paw down in the water a few times. No mistakes. The hole was big enough to put the clumps and poo down so I made sure to let him see me do that and then flushed the toilet. Mind you he's just in the room when I do this. Not on the toilet. However, he started hopping up there and watching. Week 5 - Removing the 4th insert, caused a bit of confusion. The hole was big enough for him to put his head down in there. Which he did. He also got his tail wet a few times. During the 6th week, we went away for a 5 days and my roommate was in charge of flushing and filling the litter tray. Kitty decided he would rebel and poo'd in the trash can and once on the floor. Mind you. This was only poo. He has been peeing directly in the toilet successfully with no issue since the first day we removed the 3rd insert and the whole time we were gone. When we came home. I went and checked the toilet to see if I needed to fill litter or flush. I put some litter in and he hoped up on the toilet an started doing his business in the toilet. So I think the mistakes were caused by the change in our routine. So, I'd advise users to only start the process if you're able to keep a good routine. Note, he was not punished when he made a mistake. The roommate just made sure that kitty saw him pick up the poo, stick it in the toilet and flush. Flushing has become a really exciting time for kitty. he loves to watch the water and stuff go down. We stayed on this stage for another week for a total of 3 to make sure he was okay with it. I think letting them see the poo and clumps go down in the hole and hearing the small splash helps them understand that it is "normal" and good when this happens. Week 8 - 5th insert out. We now have only about an inch round ring of litter left. Kitty cried and scratched at the small amount of litter in the tray and he held his waste in for longer than usual. However, I put him up there and guided his paw in the small ring of litter, like I did in the beginning and he finally went directly in the toilet. Of course he comes over begging for a treat right after. I'm going to leave it on this stage for about 4 weeks. I think this is the hardest step for him, but he's getting there. Also, I moved more quickly through the first couple of stages because Nyan really didn't seem phased. When we got to the last three inserts, I've given him more time to adjust, because I started to notice he was a little more hesitant. Don't rush your cat. Follow the directions included if you think your cat is not adjusting as well. This process requires patience. Which I had to learn during this time. Word to the hyper clean people. Like me :). This is a messy process. Litter will get everywhere. I kept a small dustpan and broom nearby to sweep up the mess. If there is litter on the floor the kitty may get confused and think he is supposed to go where the litter is. So...clean it up daily...at least. That being said. It's so worth it. I'm a cat person but I cannot stand that "cat-in-the-house" smell. I've hosted two small get togethers since I started this process, people can't believe I have a cat. Unless he's gone to the toilet while they were there, they don't smell any "cat smell". Note: You will smell the poo right after the kitty goes, because the small amount of litter doesn't really provide the cat with the ability to cover it up well. So before the cat starts going in the hole...you will smell poo until you scoop the poo off the tray into the hole. My cat is on a high protein diet and Phew! It stinks during the phases where he's not going directly into the water, but as soon as it's flushed the smell is gone. Okay that's the update for now. Like I said, I'll update in about 4 weeks. I can't believe I wrote so much about something related to cat poo, but I can't say enough good things about this product. EDIT: It's been longer than 4 weeks. My cat seems stuck at this spot, if I take out the last ring he seems to have an issue with standing on the edge of the seat. Despite standing on it with no problem when the ring is there. I'll try again in a month or so. That being said. I still stand by this product. I still have no litter box. Just one toilet that is a little less convenient to use. EDIT: 3/22/2013 Kitty is using just the toilet now. It took a bunch of patience, but it's been so worth it.He will indiscriminately use any toilet for peeing, but he only poos in the toilet we trained him on.
