CANBERRA - The line for the toilet is about to get longer.
Fed up with the mess created by kitty litter and inspired by the cat "Mr. Jinks" in the Hollywood film "Meet the Fockers," an Australian woman has invented a toilet training system for cats called the "Litter-Kwitter."
Mother-of-two Jo Lapidge is flushed with success after teaching her family's Burmese cat, Doogal, to use the toilet.
"Doogal has fallen in, but he hasn't fallen in by accident, he has done it playing with the water," Lapidge said.
The Litter-Kwitter is a three-step process, starting with a red toilet seat-shaped disc filled with cat litter and sitting on the floor next to the toilet, like a normal tray. Next the red disc is placed on the toilet so the cat can get used to jumping up on to the seat.
Then the red disc is replaced with an amber disc with a small hole. When the cat is accustomed to the water below, the amber disc is replaced with a green disc which has a larger hole.
The aim is that fastidious felines should eventually be able to use a normal toilet seat.
"Because the water covers the smell, it makes the burying or covering up instinct redundant ... To fully train Doogal it took about eight weeks," said Lapidge, adding that she hopes to start manufacturing the Litter-Kwitter soon.
But, unlike Mr. Jinks, teaching cats to flush could be a little harder.

Some of our gross neighbors had a cat that would poop on the toilet seat. They had no soap in their house. I remember once one of the two-year=old twins had diarhia all over himself and the mom just wiped it off with paper towels and then made sandwiches for lunch. Without washing. Because they didn't have any soap by any sink in the house. I hated those neighbors and it's put me off of the "neatness" of kittys pooping in toilets.

Sometimes I wonder if the kids are still alive. I think their mom or dad molested them. The girl my age was really really freaky. Plus she made sexual advances on me when we were eleven. She made a zucchini cake that won an award at a festival. It's strange what can be hidden behind upper middle-class suburban doors.

Anyway the toilet is for people. Next thing you know if they start using the toilet, is they start reading the newspaper.
