Against our cats' wishes I am posting these pictures of them toilet training naked on the internet. When you've been training a cat to use the toilet for, say, six months, you become very philosophical about the whole toilet thing. From whence did this instrument evolve? Where does our stuff go? Why such a special room in the home for it? And why do we treat
it as such a private event, rather than something to be enjoyed and celebrated publicly?


Anyang, pictured left, is very willing to share his experience with the group. He yowls before he does it, and then expects treats afterward. He was very proud to have his photo taken.

Moesha on the other hand is very shy about it. Whenever I hear her making even the vaguest announcements of impending relief I rush to the bathroom to ascertain the event.

This is the face she gives me.

And then she poops on the floor.

I don't quite know what we were expecting starting them on this regimen. I think we read a book from Amazon that said we could get it done in 20 days. But now they are six months in and still not completely getting it.

See the green bowl? That used to be our popcorn bowl. Now it's the place where they potty train. Maybe they're so used to seeing popcorn in the bowl that they get confused. "You want me to pee in the bowl you eat popcorn out of?" Now they'll probably be like, "Well, okay..." and whenever they see a popcorn bowl they will pee in it.

I wonder if they've done that already....Artificial butter flavoring...?
