Yeah, Sure, That’s Gonna Happen

Cat owners, if I may have your attention…

Can you honesty see your dearest using this? In a nutshell it’s a three litter trays that have holes in them, and have progressively less and less litter in them… that fit on top of your toilet seat. Designed to train your cat to use the toilet. Train? Cat? Since bleedin’ when?

Alien CatIzzy, ma petite pain the ass, is one of those cats that allow you to live in their house. Your lap is hers, your time is hers, if she’s watching something on the TV or listening to the radio and you switch it off/over there is merry hell to pay! But if there’s something thet you need to do to her or requires even the vaguest bit of effort on her part then you become the fool for expecting anything in the first place.

So, although it would be great not to have to clean out the litter tray ever again I think I can safely say this will not be appearing in the cat’s Christmas stocking!

In the same vein (well, same part of the body anyway… If cat’s had bicycles, these would be the tHello Kitty!  escaping on a bike!yres they would have.
Could you imagine being on a crime scene and finding these tracks to follow? That would show dedication to the ‘Kitty’.

And I’m catching up and starting to get in the Christmas mood so - addresses please for Christmas Card a-sendin’! Click here for email address…

Moobs - I suppose it’s a tray so you’ve got to give the cat points for that… but not many points!
Except for the fact that I know Izzy would make me pay in a bad bad way if I tried to get her to use it, it would be worth pondering along to Pets At Home to pick one up.

My daughter and I have three cats and a not-too-large apartment, so we were looking for a solutions to the always-full kitty potty when SJ told us about the Cat Genie. It’s electronic and almost eliminates the problem, scooping, sanitizing, dumping it all in the toilet for you and then actually drying the litter. All you have to do is flush the toilet. Well, guess what… my cat wouldn’t use it. We finally gave up and passed it along to SJ, and NONE of their three cats will use it. So, if you’re keeping score, it’s technology zero, cats… well, they just win.

Sheryl - Cats like what they like and they’re not going to change. The Cat Genie and the Litter Kwitter are both really good ideas but you don’t get a cat to make life convenient - if you did you didn’t read the manual correctly! You get a cat to make life interesting, And boy don’t they ever!

And you’re absolutely right - cats, they do just win!

Surely HM Revenue and Customs have already sent you the addresses of all your UK readers (and probably of a few other random people too).

yorksdevil - Well, yeah, but the disks I got were password protected and I really can’t be bothered to try and figure that out… ;)

We used to have a siamese cat named “Coon”; it had a floater in one eye. Whenever Coon looked at a blank white wall, she would sit down and try to follow the floater. That resulted in her head moving back and forth like she was watching a tennis match.

We got used to it, but visitors would stare at her a while and wonder what the hell she was doing.

Quantunfog - I love it when cats momentarily wig out or do something like that. Our old cat, Smarty, used to chase imaginary flying things - I wonder if he had a floater too?

my momma and i are cat enthusiasts and have a 1.5stone son called scruffie. we came across that trainer before and at first thought it was one of those joke emails but actually, we soon discovered it wasn’t. it reminded me of something you might find in the kleeneze catalogue or one of those free ones that fall out of the middle of the paper and have other delights in like a portable toilet with attachment to suite male or female or those rediculous glasses you can fold the lenses down if you want to do your mascara on a certain eye. can you imagine the people behind that proposing that on DRAGONS DEN? would they of got past? i shall cocoa! i wonder how much money they have made?

those tyres are brilliant!

naomi - Hi, I know what you mean - you just know it’s going to be advertised by a shouty type or be sold by JML! And you just know they’ve made millions and the cat they use on their website now get’s to crap on a solid gold loo!
