Kitty's Loo™ - Superior Cat Toilet Training Kit - The Original Cat Training Seat - Patented - USA Made - Portable and Durable

Before deciding on this product, I read many reviews on several other products, and most talked about the primary problem being poor fitting seats. My little feral-turned-house-cat would abandon this entire process the first (and last) time she jumped up on a seat that wobbled. This seat had the widest, latest base it seemed to me, and I was right. It fits perfectly over the toilet seat, and after she gets more accustomed to it, I will probably remove the toilet seat entirely. At the moment, it leaves about a half inch gap when flat on the bowl, and no toilet seat used. It also makes it easy to tape the top back, and tape the Kitty Loo down, which is essential for a skittish cat. In order to make things even easier for her, I bought a set of plastic pet stairs (about $22) so she can just climb the stairs up to her throne, and it is perfect for her. I think these things are very important for the process. All that said, she dealt with it all perfectly, and we are in step 3 in the brochure process, where we are reducing the litter in the center holder, to the point of having only the hole, which I suspect will be in another 4 days. I had a book that said that rising them is the cause fo most mistakes, so I'm not rushing her, and thus far she has had no accidents. It does take a day or so for them to get their aim right it seems. I can't imagine this being any easier than Kitty Loo's system. She hated the litter process, I hated it, and we are so much happier already. I tried to upload photos but couldn't make it work.

We’ve had the Kitty Loo for a week and Spike has used it successfully on top of the litter box every time. Today I decided I could move it to the toilet. I only have two concerns. 1) He is using it only once a day and I hope that doesn’t cause him problems. 2) The crystal litter I use includes some fine grain and I am concerned about this going through the holes in the potty and causing plumbing problems. What it the solution to this? We've been using this for about 6 months with our 5-year-old neutered male. We are at the point we have removed the bowl and he is comfortable jumping up and peeing in the toilet. For some reason he has a hang-up about pooping in the toilet. Unless we are there and lift him up (sometimes multiple times) he will poop on the bath mat. His poop is very dry and can easily be picked up with toilet paper and dumped in the toilet. I’ve decided to try compromising with him. I’ve gotten a cotton place mat which I will put in a corner of the floor. If he poops on that and continues to pee in the toilet, I will be very happy. I’m delighted to not be using litter. After deciding I could live with Spike peeing in the toilet and pooping on the floor, he changed the rules. He has never in the course of toilet training peed anywhere but in the toilet or, before that, in the litter box. Unfortunately, after deciding I could live with him pooping on the bathroom floor, he peed on the bathroom floor twice in one week. That, coupled with the fact that he always demanded I be in the bathroom when he used the toilet (he has an insistent yowl), and the fact he was peeing only once or twice a day and pooping only about every other day (that didn’t seem healthy), I gave up on the toilet training after six months. He’s now back to the litter box and I’m again dealing with litter tracked on my bathroom floor and the associated duties. It was nice while it lasted but the Kitty Loo did not turn out to be a long term alternative to a litter box.

UPDATE: My cat is completely toilet trained & the only awkward part is that sometimes you have to wait until he’s finished to use the toilet yourself. Ok, so we’re not completely finished training, but I’m just too excited to wait any longer to review! I was so so weary that this would not work. The bowl for the litter seemed to small, and my kitty was super picky about the type of litter he uses. I wasn’t sure if I’d ever get home to switch to the pellets that can be used on the toilet. But Luca took right to it. The instructions are well written and easy to follow. We started Luca on the seat on top of a small litter box, right next to the toilet. LoL, he became bathroom buddies with everyone. Anytime one of us went to use the toilet, so did he! Just like potty training my kids 😂 We followed directions on switching from his favorite clay litter, to the pellet litter and he never batted an eye. Then it was time to move him to the toilet. We were sure this would be a difficult step and that he’d have lots of accidents. That just wasn’t the case. He jumped right up and used his seat on the toilet. We are still using the bowl on his seat, but we’re down to the last row of pellets and plan to forgo litter soon. He has had one accident since we started toilet training him, and that was because we played with him too long in the bedroom, without giving him a chance to use his seat. So that one was really on us. He has become fastidious about his toileting habits. He waits until I get up in the morning and until I get home from work. He likes it best if I’m there so that I’ll clean up his poop right away. He will still go if I don’t, but he has preferences 😉 I am very glad we decided to go with this brand of seat. I was dubious of other brands because they didn’t look sturdy, this seat is thick plastic that blends in with my toilet. It does not bend or warp. It is easy to clean and move around. I also thought it was a bit high priced at first, but my husband pointed out how much money we would save on cat litter if it worked. Honestly, it’s not just the cat litter we save, it’s the time we would spend cleaning a disgusting litter box, not having to clean up loose clay litter everyday, and not worrying about my house smelling of cat urine! That last one is the best. Yes, it takes patience. So does potty training a child. But it’s well worth it. I can’t wait to move onto the next step, but in all honesty, if he never was able to use the toilet without this seat, I’d still be ok with it. That’s not what I want and I don’t think that will be the end result, I’m just saying that I’m already pleased with the results.

I considered all options for toilet training and chose this one for the following reasons: CONS: -It’s thin and not bulky for when I travel with the cat -it provides a layer of protection so him and I don’t have to use the same surface -it’s easy to take off the toilet -it is reusable and durable in case you want to train more than one cat or your baby needs to take a step back and start over CONS: - The price seems expensive considering that I needed to make adjustments and buy other things for this to work. - It is of all the options the more sensical for me and my comfort but perhaps the least intuitive one for my cat ADJUSTMENTS and solutions: - it should come with its own litter box that is the right size and height providing stability for the step 1. For the price, this should be provided. Plus it’s so hard to find one that is the right size for the kitty loo lid. - the top surface should be slanted slightly or the slanted inner ring should be more slanted or thicker - this should come with better gripping stickers and a way or handle to Stick the system to the toilet sides. (ADVICE FOR BUYERS) - buy a small litter box for phase 1. The smallest you can find. I bought the NESS Or VANNES one here in Amazon the small size, it was about $5. The important thing is that the lid over the litter box is stable. I lost weeks on end on progressing because the cat got scared that the litter box plus toilet thing kept flipping over while he was attempting to get on. For stability I had to end up putting two cans of cat food (tiki cat 5oz fit) on each side handle of the kitty loo lid. My cat is 12 pounds, and he definitely needed the stability. Each time the thing flipped it took 2 weeks to get back on track. -I believe this was successful because I have an adaptable extroverted cat and I was home 100% of the time. He needed a lot of comforting and encouraging words and then he would go. He held his pee for 12 hours sometimes and I had to persuade him with litter pouring and staying there next to him. So if you work 8 hours out of the home I don’t think this is for you. You will come home to pee in the bathtub or poo in the floor. When we transition esto the toilet he started looking for other places, since I was there with him I kept redirecting him to the toilet and blocking the other places where I could see he was considering going. Patience, patience, patience. I only have one toilet and several people use it so I had to lock myself with the cat sometimes until he went. And I saw him struggle to Aim and he would give up etc. In the end he is a good communicator and will let me know when he’s stressed and needs me to sit w him and watch him pee. We are still in the second to final stage. This stage is much easier than the previous one where the litter box was in tHe floor but with litter in the receptacle since I have clumping litter so it would be hard to clean each time he peed and I ended up using pee pads underneath but then realized it was easier to just clean and Clorox the whole thing after each use. This stage was hard. I believe keeping it clean matters and helps them in the process. Don’t give up at this point it gets much easier in the next step. -LITTER CHOICE: It matters! Some cats will need to be transitioned out of their litter like mine did, but for the stage where the pee goes in the toilet I decided to change the litter and switch from my worlds best cat litter clumpable and flushable litter to the cat genie biodegradable washable plastic one. OMG much much better choice. The cat pees and I just pour water over it and clean it out that way. Often I’ll put desinfectante and then pour water over it while on the toilet still, and then just flush. The clumping one was pure misery. I try to clean it and switch it for dry pellets so that there’s no tracking. He doesn’t seem to mind. I give him a treat after he goes which has resulted in him letting me know he went each time. Sometimes he tells me before going cos he needs company. All in all, I’m glad I bought it, and he seems to be adjusting. I just wish I would have known these things before hand to have a more streamlined process.

I had high hopes for this product for reasons like saving money on litter, saving time from scooping throughout the day, and overall just having a cleaner home. This product did not work for me, I have two cats and bought two of these things. At first, it seemed to be going well, we downsized the litter box as instructed. We placed the kitty’s loo on the floor next to the litter box to let them get familiarized with it, as instructed. But when it came time to put the kitty’s loo on top of the small litter box, the cats had a hard time trying to figure out how to use it. They kept missing every time they would urinate, which this brand did not give any advice for other than to clean it up. I looked online and couldn’t find any information to help, so this process has just been frustrating honestly. Additionally, at this step, it was very difficult to find a litter box that kitty’s loo would sit nicely on top of. I ended up having to use cans of cat food on both sides to help hold up both sides since it’s not very sturdy. My breaking point was when the cats started urinating in inappropriate places, like my bed- twice within 24 hours. That’s what did it for me, so I’ll just continue scooping their litter from now on unfortunately. Not worth the money, though it would have been nice if this product had addressed any of these concerns.
