Kitty Cosmo's Toilet Training: What Happened?

Jen recently made the following comment on our last Kitty Cosmo post, Kitty Cosmo: Chapter 5 Part 2… And then what happened? As far as I can tell, this is the last kitty Cosmo post (sorry I’m a bit late discovering this blog). Did you get it all sorted in the end? We know our adventures with Kitty Cosmo’s toilet training is one of our readers favorite topics, so I wanted to give everyone an update. Well, Melanie and I left for our wedding just a few weeks after our last Kitty Cosmo post and then moved out of our [Continue Reading...]

Kitty Cosmo: Chapter 5 Part 2

As you read in the last post, our small hole insert method didn’t work for our kitty Cosmo. She just stopped going to the bathroom. At the 24 hour mark, I decided to remove the insert and come up with another plan. Cosmo made a beeline to the toilet then, and we were all relieved (ha!). We kept everything the same for a couple of days, and then I inserted a piece of the old insert to block off an inch of the back of the pan so she has a smaller area to sit in. The point of this [Continue Reading...]

Kitty Cosmo: Chapter 5 Part 1

Kitty Cosmo: Chapter 3

Are you ready for the latest update on how kitty Cosmo’s toilet training is going?  One day last week, in an act of cunning and James Bond-ish skill, Mark and I secretly hid kitty’s old litter box in the storage closet of our patio and left only the intermediate box in the bathroom.  Then, I sat at my desk (which has a view of the bathroom down the hall if I lean back in my chair), and waited for her to discover the changes. Several minutes later, she wandered into the bathroom.  She had two paws up on the box. [Continue Reading...]

Kitty Cosmo: Chapter 2

Many changes are happening in our dear kitty Cosmo’s life.  She wasn’t always “dear kitty Cosmo” to me, by the way.  She used to be “that *&#@% cat!!”  We’ve had an incredible journey together, and this is another opportunity for us to create great memories.  So, here’s the latest… Mark and I agreed to move on to step 2 in our kitty toilet training saga.  Actually, “saga” isn’t the word I want to use because that makes it sound like it’s going to take forever.  I’m hoping for more of a short-story.  We moved the intermediate, homemade kitty litter box [Continue Reading...]
