Day 36

 

Yesterday Ziggy used a full roll of paper, just to pee...

Today I woke up to a nightmare. Ziggy went to the toilet to pee. Nice…. Gave him a treat and cheered. Next he began going around the house, meowing and digging the corners of the two only standing – or lying – carpets (because they are two big to put away). He tried to get into my studio – in which carpet he relieved himself yesterday, exactly at the time I was at the door saying goodbye to someone which I hope did not feel the stench.

However, today, my studio door was closed, as usual and he could not use his, now preferred toilet ground.... So I went after him trying to avoid the unavoidable. The moment I turned my back to get a mug of tea it was done, on the living room, under the corner of my Indian – very difficult to clean – carpet.

Seconds later, when I was on the process of cleaning the mess Mimi was on the toilet, no fuss, no need for treats or attention.

I am divided… shall I stop the experiment because of Ziggy’s stubbornness? Or will he pick it up like Mimi did?

Today I am going to the seaside house, a change that may bring more trouble…
