Needs more training

By catlady'sdaughter - 03/07/2020 17:01

Today, my mom read online you could train cats to relieve themselves in the toilet. Without reading any further, she took away the litter tray. My house reeks of cat piss and shit, and she still refuses to give the cat its litter tray back, insisting it'll work eventually. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I learned why my bathroom has a horrible, seemingly irremovable stench. My cat doesn't squat to pee like a normal cat. She stands up, peeing over the side of the litter tray all over the wall and floor, which are now a permanent yellow tinge. FML

Today, I went to clean my cat's litter box, not realizing she was in it. As I lifted the top half of the litter box up, she sprayed me with piss. FML

Today, I learned that instead of training my cat, she has been training me. She now refuses to drink anything but running tap water, and yowls loudly early in the morning at my bedroom door to be fed. FML

Today, I worked a 12-hour shift. Today my parents' cat also had diarrhoea. Rather than clean it up when said cat projectile shat all through my bed, they simply closed my door and left it for me. Since it's in my room, apparently it's my problem. They can't understand why I'm pissed. FML

Smelly cat, smelly cat…

Today, my cat decided the perfect place to throw up was on herself. Cleaning a smelly old cat with a showerhead is trouble enough, but when she tried to escape, it resulted in the bathroom being turned into one big puddle. FML

Today, after months of trying to potty train my son, he finally told me he used the potty. I went to the bathroom to check. There was nothing there. So I asked him "Where did you go to the potty?". He then grabbed my hand and took me to the cat's litter box. My son has successfully litter trained himself. FML

Today, I came home after a short trip. Walking through the door, an overpowering smell indicated that in my rush to leave I'd forgotten to bring the cat litter tray indoors. The place was covered in cat urine. It was as if I'd created a cycling ecosystem of evaporated urine turning into urine rain-clouds. FML

Today, I bought my cats two new litter boxes in hopes that they would use them. They still prefer to pee on the clothes in my closet. FML

Today, my cat refuses to drink from any source of water that isn't the toilet. FML

Today, my husband thought it was the best idea ever to clean the cat's litter box with the brand new vacuum cleaner instead of tipping it into a bin bag. My house now fills with the smell of warm cat piss every time I hoover. FML

She needs to do more research. This process takes a lot of work and time.

"Mom, they said TRAIN. As in TEACH THEM. What are you teaching them, other than you're a horrible person?"

you actually have to drop their turds into the toilet with the cat watching repeatedly for this to probably work

My cat is actually toilet trained and it is a pretty lengthy process that involves training trays and flushable litter and slowly removing these things while using treats, clicks, and positive reinforcement until the cat is used to sitting on the toilet and aiming into the toilet bowl and all that. You can't just toss their shit in the toilet while they watch and expect them to learn anything from that. In their mind that's no different than you simply cleaning their litter box and throwing it all away.

It's also possible to teach a person to become a brain surgeon. Just because it's possible doesn't mean you don't need more reading and training and it will all get sorted out.

If it is YOUR house and not hers, buy yourself another litter tray. If your house is her house too, buy yourself another litter tray and put it somewhere she won't know where it is but the cat will.
