So, nearly one year in and we have given up. Rags is now 6.1KG and Lisunia 4KG. In short the litter Qwitter is too small for such large kitties. It's a real shame, because we had 100% for about 3/4 weeks, then one of them crapped on the edge of the seat and the other then crapped on the floor. From then, they found it much easier and more convenient to crap on the floor.

So, we backtracked to the beginning, but not to too much avail. So now they have a very large normal litter...

So, Rags and Lisunia are now 6 months old, and I am VERY happy to announce, we are making progress . I see from the comments more details are required.....

We are using a tray that attaches to the [human] toilet that has various "levels". To start with, it's a tray that has no holes, and you slowly progress up the levels, meaning the hole gets bigger. It's called the litter quitter...

So now we are two months in, and still no luck with the potty training. Rags is much happer to crap on the bathroom floor than in the hole - and it's bloody hard to keep track of the little buggers to know where they are all the time!

I found out yesterday, that the founder of the company trained her cat in seven days to use the damn thing properly - BUT she also slept in the bath room with the cat for those seven days. Bugger that for a game of soldiers.

We're...

The two gangsters are still, well, gangsters.

We tried to move to the next step of toilet training. This involved replacing the tray with a second tray with a cutout in the middle. Lisunia quite happy. A bit intrigued that her crap disappeared, but no real issue. However, Rags does not like it, for peeing or crapping. Each time he moves the gravel around, some falls into the pan and makes a noise. So his sticks his head int he hole and gets scared. Looks funny, but not good progress....

So, one complete week in. They are both absolute little terrorists, but very sweet, at least when they sleep.

Newest behaviour emerging is the "I will follow you wherever you go" and if they cant find you "meeeoooooooowwwwww".

The chinchillas have been very P*ssed off. Not coming out of their cage and hardly eating. The full cold-shoulder treatment. Finally last night, they emerged from the cage and seemed to be their near normal selves - also terrorists...
