My cats only pee in the toilet but will not go poo. They are both stuck on the orange stage. What should I do?

I'm not sure. Mine would pee and pooh, but once I got to the smallest ring he was too large to balance on the side of the toilet, so I had to quit trying. I'm still trying to figure out a way to make it work. If you find a solution, please let me know.

make sure there is plenty of clean/flushable litter in the orange tray and just keep them on the orange tray for as long as it takes for them to get comfortable with it. Everytime they pee or poop give them a treat and only when they've been using the orange tray for a month or more with confidence should you change over to the green tray.

My cat did the same thing, and finally pooped in a living room chair because he didn't know what to do. I stopped using it then. I have a friend who used a piece of cardboard and made a small hole in it and taped it underneath the ring so that the hole was smaller, then gradually widened it.

The cat has a UTI and is probably in some pain - get her to the vet right away, this is NOT a behavior issue!

Hmm, weird. Mine is clumping really well. I wonder if you're using enough litter? If not, your cat might be pushing litter out of the way, peeing on the bottom of the litter pan, then covering it back up with litter. I recommend putting more in the litter in the pan and seeing if that makes a difference. I personally put several inches high of litter in my cats' pan. There's no smell & it clumps really well.

One of our cats does the same thing - we tried covered boxes but the urine just ran down from the side of the top and gathered in the capilary space between the lid and bottom part of the box. The only we have found to work is 18 GAL Roughneck Totes by Rubbermaid. They are 24 x 16 (like a regular litter box) but even on her best tail pumping days, our female cat can only get to within a half inch of top the the 16.5" tall side walls. I am considering this box but am concerned that the pee will run down the wall and collect where the lid and bottom come together. Did you have any luck with this product and your cat?

1A. Go to vet. Make sure nothing wrong biologically. 1. Go to store. Buy 2 under the bed storage boxes for a litter box. Most litter pans are too small. 2. fill with cat attract litter 3. Place boxes somewhere where it is quiet and they can't get ambushed coming in and out of the box. Don't put in a laundry room or near a furnace. 4. More than one cat needs more than one box. I had one older cat that needed three all to himself. 5. Try feliway collars which have natural calming pheromones. 6. Put feliway diffusers (amazon..best price..order the 6 pack)in places where you DO NOT want them to spray. Again calming pheromones. 7. Use a product called stink free to remove the spray smell from where they sprayed(amazon best price) 8. Sift litter boxes morning and night. Yes, twice per day. 9. Get them neutered and soon. If you wait too long, it will become a habit and even neutering them will not help. 10. Feed them in separate areas so they do not have to compete. 11. Do not use citrus based cleansers or any air fresheners near their litter box. They do not like this. They will not go there. I use the blue Lysol. Wash and completely clean out the litter boxes and fill with fresh litter twice per month while the behavior continues. Switch to once per month once you have it solved. 11. If you do all of this, yes, it is an investment, you should have a long and not smelly fun life with your kitties.

Mine did not take to it immediately. I tried the mixing of the granules with the regular litter and still they were not keen on using the Genie. I finally made them go "cold turkey" and took away their regular boxes. They did use the Genie but one of my cats is large and doesn't squat completely so urine was going into the mechanical areas that were not washed. The smell soon became apparent and with the effort it took to completely take it apart to clean it, I sent it back and went back to a traditional box. It is a nice concept but it just isn't worth the money and the difficulty with using it. Mine did not take to it immediately.

OK if your cat is peeing outside the litter box the first thing you should do is empty the litter box. Put in a clean liner and wait for your kitty to pee without litter. Put the urine in a clean container and refrigerate. The same day take sample to your vet for urinalysis. Meanwhile keep a clean kitty box with at least 2 inches of clean litter AT ALL TIMES! this means u scoop out all pee and poo as often as possible. Make sure the litter box is easily accessible to your cat. If your cat has excessive urination or is drinking a lot or has lost weight get them to your vet asap for bloodwork. If you rule out a urinary tract infection, are keeping a clean litter box in a convenient easy to get to location for your cat and your cat still is peeing outside the litter box have vet do full exam and discuss problem with your vet. This can be a sign of a serious medical condition. However most cats will express their displeasure in a dirty litter box.... Very important to provide clean one.

Clean the window make sure everything is dry and just follow directions in the box.. Sometimes I have issues with suction cups too, not sure why.. Once you get it to stick don't take it off. And, it might not work as well for heavier cats, our cat is very light.

Treat the area with Mature's Miracle Urine Destroyer just for cats. Clean area with this and then dry it with a fan then use Nature's Miracle PetBlock just for cats and dry the area with a fan until it dries. I have wood floors too and ony one area the cat would urine and it is working.

It's not that easy to clean because of the texture. Easiest way I found is to take it outside and spray it off with a garden hose and to use some kind of neutralizing agent (Nature's Miracle or something like that) to neutralize the urine so that the cats don't keep just urinating on the mat instead of going into the litter box.

I use Aquarium rocks in a two tier litter box. The top tier I drilled over 100 holes (1/2 in apart ). My cat initially wanted to use the old litter box but now he is using it. And I put Orange Dishwashing Liquid in the bottom to mask any urine odor. It does work.

I have just purchased the toilet and installed lately, have not thought about replacing yet. Try direct to Thetford, or my last toilet I went to home depotand bought an elongated seat. A slight medication and it worked. That's all I can offer. Bud

Give it some time. Let the cats adjust to it. Put toys on the levels. They will come around.

Have you checked them for a medical issue? If they are healthy, it could be a territorial or insecurity issue. Make sure you have enough litter boxes. Look for other cats coming up to your house. One thing you could try is putting a litter box right at that area and slowly moving toward where you want it. The kind of litter or box could be a factor as well.

I have had the toilet for about 2 weeks now... I just push the lever, release it, and it flushes. I've never held it down.. Everything has always disappeared.

I live in Republic of Ireland and run a boarding cattery without access to a wide range of these products. Our problem in the boarding cattery is that some cats pee in the unit and it seeps because they are not sealed - design fault - , thus it's a matter of trying to get the product into the gap. We haven't found anything that works perfectly, because the products can't reach, but Fizzion is as good as anything else, the smell always lingers anyway. I am fascinated that you have your litter tray on carpet, could you move it to a washable surface, because the products don't get the smell out completely, the cats will keep doing what they are doing. Maybe a waterproof bed sheet?

Litter may be flushable, but cat feces should not be flushed. They may have bacteria that kill sea otters.
