Litter Kwitter
Litter Kwitter is the Original World Famous Cat Toilet Training System, made famous by me – ! Cats the world over admire me and want to be just like me, using the toilet instead of a litter box.

What does the Litter Kwitter do? Litter Kwitter will gradually teach nearly any cat to perch on the toilet seat (what I affectionately call the Dunny) to…you know…do their business directly into the bowl. All the parents have to do, then, is flush and Voila! No mess, no smell, no yucky clean up required – and that is great regardless of whether you are a regular everyday house cat or a famous spokescat like me.



How does the Litter Kwitter work? It is ingenious! Litter Kwitter starts next to the toilet with a seat device and a red plastic disk full of litter so your cat knows what it is & where to go to use it. Then you put it on the porcelain rim of the toilet, so your cat learns to hop up (easy when you’re as nimble as we are). Once your cat gets the idea that the toilet is where the action is, you can move to the amber disk. It has a hole in the middle and room for some litter around the edges so that your cat can use it but also starts to learn how to perch on the edge of the seat itself. It doesn’t usually take too long to get the hang of this so then it’s time to use the green disk. It has a bigger hole so that your cat can balance on the seat and go, knowing that everything will end up in the toilet. Brilliant !!!

What do I actually get in the box when I buy Litter Kwitter? Litter Kwitter comes with a universal base plate (a special kind of toilet seat that fits all standard toilets), the three training disks (red, amber and green), a comprehensive instruction booklet plus a 30-minute DVD with step-by-step training directions you can see. In fact, you can see me (oh, the embarrassment!). And it comes with subtitles in English, Japanese, French, German and Dutch for all my cosmopolitan friends!

I have more than one cat. Will I be able to train them all ? The Litter Kwitter can train more than one cat at a time, but you don't want to let it get too crowded up there. It's best to use more than one Litter Kwitter if you're blessed with many cats - you can use them on separate toilets or even place the Litter Kwitter on a tray of water or some similar container (like in the picture).

The key issue with training more than one cat is that they can sometimes progress at very different paces. If you only have one Litter Kwitter we have developed a kit called the MultiKatKit - it's a kit for multiple cats (duh!) which can help more than one cat train at the same pace. It's basically a pack with additional training discs that you use with the Litter Kwitter to smooth out the transitions from one stage to the next to make it easier for all the cats to move on together.

How long will it take to toilet train my cat using the Litter Kwitter? I learned pretty quickly in about two weeks, but then I'm Doogie and my mum invented the Litter Kwitter (and we both lived in the bathroom for a fortnight!). However, most cats figure it out in about 8 weeks or so, as long as you are patient and understanding. If your cat is older (above 8 years) or not litter trained, though, it will probably take a bit longer. They have more bad habits to un-learn. Our oldest successfully trained cat so far is Oscar who started when he was 12 years old! And that's not to mention Lucky the 3-legged cat who overcame some obvious issues to become a Litter Kwitter graduate!

What are the advantages of having a toilet trained cat? You might as well ask "what is the advantage of a toilet trained human?". I know cats look different but their bodies work the same way as humans in the 'Yum to Yuk' process: they eat (yum!), they get energy from digesting the food (to be able to claw the furniture & chase the balls of paper), and they deposit the waste (yuk!) Toilets are designed to deal with the waste better than any other device in the house (and definitely better than plastic trays on the floor in the laundry room).

Still not convinced? Think about this: cats use the litter tray, bury the waste (by treading in it) then tread around your home on benchtops, beds, laps and rugs. Yuk! A toilet trained cat treads on a clean toilet seat (it is clean, I hope!), deposits their waste in the water, then treads around your home with clean paws: no more mess, no more germs, no more smells, no more hassle. Enough said.
