It came. In all its kitschy, injection-molded goodness, the “World-Famous” CitiKitty cat toilet training kit graced my doorstep this week. It was almost like Christmas as I tore the plastic mailing sleeve apart to unveil the cheerfully-designed, primary color-clad box emblazoned with a cat proudly standing upon his new territory. I knew this was a moment I would remember for a lifetime.
Alright. All hyperbole aside, I am pretty excited to see this thing and how it actually works. It’s embarrassingly simple—slip it over the toilet seat, fill it with litter, and take out the concentric rings every week or two to help cats acclimate to—um—doing their business in the commode.
I’m eager to give you all the low-down on the marvel of American patents that is CitiKitty, but our feline family is still in the “pre” stage; currently we are acclimating Ravi and Mowgli to a new brand of flushable cat litter. Dubbed “World’s Best” and at $8 for a small bag, it better envelope each cat deposit and turn it to gold. To its defense, the new litter is proving to be better than our current Tidy Cat supply as there is less dust and smell of foul, piney aroma.
The name of this game is patience. The well-designed training guide recommends camping out at each step for two weeks when training multiple cats. That means this little adventure will take us well into summer. But to never have to unearth a little brown treasure from my favorite furballs makes it all worth it.
Stay tuned for part two!
