Trials and tribulations of toilet-training my cats - Part 11

So back to the start again.

I bought another tray and made a very small hole in it.

Unfortunately, Joey's rare bout with urinary tract crystal formation resurfaced a few days ago. I got that sorted out but what surprised me the most was the fact that despite his need to go to the toilet every 15 minutes or so for about 3 days straight, he still used the tray! Impressive.

So now he's fine again (I'm glad, that crystal thing can kill male cats in less than 24 hours. It would have been ironic to lose him to a stupid crystal formation problem rather than to the fall he took from our 4th floor flat window, which he survived with a mere graze!) we are back to the toilet-training.

I have tonight enlarged the hole so it is now just shy of 1 inch in diameter. Joey's used it already, he rarely picks up on minute details like that. Or maybe he just doesn't give a rat's ass.

So we'll see about Phoebe. Maybe it's because she's a year or so younger than Joey and maybe not as quick to catch on. Dunno.

But if she does continue with the tray I'll leave it a wee while just to make sure everyone's comfortable with the hole before enlarging it any more.
