Day 93

The weekend away was a set back as usual because the cats have access to the garden. Ziggy on arrival, pooped in the room downstairs, next to «their toilet», I did not even have time to close the door. When closed in the house they always went to pee in the toilet.

Ziggy, still scratching around after I made him throw in own poop down the drain.

We were back today after a stormy weekend – no surf for me, no scaring the seagulls in the rooftops for the cats.

Back at home, Ziggy called me when he felt like going. After some effort he peed in the toilet. I gave him a treat. Then, while I was going away he went to poop in the bathtub. I let him finish – no use in transferring him to the seat, he will stop pooping and that may not be to good for the cat. My new strategy: I close the toilet door, transfer the poop to the bowl, put some litter on it (since now there is almost no litter) so he does not soil his paws, and have him dispose of it. He scratches around but does not touch the poop, so I make him throw it in the hole. Lets see how this goes.

That is how the next phase looks like: the hole is just a bit larger and I punctured the bowl.
