Day 42



The move to the seaside house was a set back, as I predicted. They did part of their business in the toilet but the rest outside. This happened although they know exactly what was expected of them, Ziggy included: once he did a small poo and came to my room, calling me to check it and get a reward. He never did it in the floor or carpet.
Back to Lisboa there was trouble: I had gone back to cake tin number 1 in Peniche and here I went forward to pudding tin number 2. Ziggy went to the living room carpet. Mimi, as usual, adapted. By now she could be doing it in the toilet tout cout. The problem is that I have two cats. And I love them both.

Mimi, after using tin number 2, with a perfect aim.


Today I went back to phase number 0 – the plain bowl or sitz bath. Still, Ziggy went to my studio carpet the moment I forgot the door open.
He understands perfectly what I want him to do  but he does not want to do it.
This time I scolded him harshly and he is sulking in his bed.
I am staying in phase 0 for one day and checking whether he wants to cooperate. If not, this experiment may be over…

Ziggy just wants to dig!! And he is digging the carpet...
