Weird kitten....

Wow...that's one I haven't heard before. It seems like it would be very hard to break this kitten of its "potty" habit and get him to use the litterbox instead. I would recommend trying to get him onto the toilet or getting him his own separate potty that you kept separate from your daughter's potty. If you wanted to get him onto the toilet, you would probably do what people do with litter training. You reward him for going on the potty and then slowly move the potty closer and closer to the toilet while continuously rewarding him for going on the potty. Then you get him in the bathroom and eventually onto the toilet. I hope it works.

I'm with everyone here -- get your daughter an identical potty and let the kitten keep pottying away with the old one. Or vice versa. Reading your post I was going to initially suggest gently placing the kitten in the litter box, and move his front feet around with the digging motion cats use so he understands. But hey, cats can be trained to use toilets, and this one looks like he's made his choice already! And yeah, the $$$ you save on kitty litter could be substantial.

wow-i've had an adult cat do that,but never a kitten voluntarily. he'd be too small for the toilet,but i'd get him a potty chair of his own.think of all the litter you'll save on when he gets older;)

congratulations on your potty trained cat. i'd suggest you get another potty for your daughters. it's much easier to teach your daughters to use a new potty then to teach your kitten to use a new one. i would love to have a potty trained kitten or cat. maybe i should have offered this option to my cats when they were young. cheers ;]

hi there StrawberryKisses thats funny doing it in the potty i know if i don't use cat litter they will do it anywhere they know they aren't allowed to do it they have done it in my bath tub and the stain is still there but the thing is you need to put there paws in the cat litter and show them how to dig thats what we did with ours if we have it they do it in the cat litter now take care happy postings

I agree with getting a new potty for your daughter. If the kitten has gotten used to using that one, he won't use a new one, even if you clean, sterilize, and do everything possible to remove his scent, he'll still know that's the one he's been using. Good luck, because it sounds like your daughter and the kitten are both going to want the same one. :)

I don't think another potty will work. For some reason he is attracted to the smell of the potty, so that is why he prefers using it. If you got him another potty, he may not use it, and if you got another one for your daughter, he would probably end up using that one too because its your daughter that produced the smell. How old is your daughter? Maybe its time to get her to use the big girl potty. Or get a potty seat to put on the big one if she isn't big enough yet.
