Day 16



Last night Mimi went to the bowl with the hole without much trouble. I believe that if it was only her, we would be much more advanced… However, Ziggy made a big fuss. He made me get out of bed before light out three times. In the end I decided to stick an empty toilet roll in the hole. This morning there was a solid reward in the bowl (oh, my god, I begin to sound like a new mother talking about her baby’s smelly poo).




At lunch time, the toilet paper tube was hit right in the eye by Mimi… so I had to change it. I discovered the plastic bowl had a crack but decided to enlarge the hole, non the less. In the process the crack broke and I ended up with what is in the picture. I also made some small holes because some people wrote me about success experiments with colanders.



In fact, I put the colander while burning and puncturing the yellow bowl and Ziggy used it . The only problem is that more than half the saw dust litter went down the drain. Probably with flushable silica it would work.

A friend that inherited my beloved Peste Negra - Black Plague - (when I went to live abroad in a non pet friendly place) toilet trained him with a colander. She took a section of the bottom each time. She used rodents litter, that is organic and flushable.
For now I am sticking to the yellow bowl but I may have to buy a new one in case this one opens more cracks…
