And we thought kitties went to the big litter box in the sky. That sandy, Rubbermaid box is the first trip they make, after all. Not true, says Karawynn, who brings us the "How To Toilet Train Your Cat" site, complete with step-by-step instructions on how to wean cat from the box to the john, including the delicate negotiations for teaching the proper squat technique for No. 1 and for No. 2 (higher for No. 2, in case you can't picture this). Of course, it's all fun and games until Fluffy falls in (or takes a sip), which is exactly why the common pitfalls of kitty potty training are discussed -- in fascinating, oddly obsessive detail. Like . . . what to do if your cat tries to paw around in the water, and how to travel with your potty-trained feline (not all toilets are the same, you see). And then there's our favorite: Should you flush? Nope, then the cat may grow to fancy flushing for any reason whatsoever. Now this gives a new meaning to that favorite phrase, stop littering!
