I was really nervous because the last time we put that amber stage on, Popes refused to go to the bathroom for over 35 hours. We made the switch and waited and waited. It was over 24 hours and she still hadn't gone. Then one afternoon, we hear her scratching a LOT. You know, it's that 'just went potty' scratch. We were excited, but when I went into the bathroom, it looked like she just scratched all the litter down the hole. We weren't sure if she actually used it! I think she did. Then later, she actually pooped in it! I wasn't home, but Adam was and he said some of it went down the hole into the toilet and some didn't. Awesome!!
This was the first time that I actually thought, "This is actually going to work!! Our cat is going to be using the toilet and we'll never have to buy or scoop litter again!"
The next day, she pooped again! Adam was worried that she hadn't peed in a while (like days). So times like that, we follow her around the apartment saying, "You have to pee don't you? C'mon Popes, go! I know you have to!" haha. Then yesterday, I was in the kitchen and Adam in the living room says, "She's peeing!" He could tell because he HEARD it. Because she was totally peeing down the hole, in the toilet!!
Oh I'm so proud! Pretty soon, we're going to have the COOLEST cat on the block. ;)
At this stage, Popes is learning:
- Superior balance.
- to not be afraid of the water
