The CitiKitty is assumed to get your cat to use the toilet, much like the cat from advertisement. The CitiKitty is made in the USA and has had customers train up to 4 cats at the same time. It’s something that can be a cleaner way for your cat to do their business for everyone involved. Ok, let’s how well has it worked so far for those that have tried it?
Overview
The picture of a litter box-free home is hard to imagine. So, having a toilet trained cat might sound like a good idea at first. But, sometimes, the method of training your cat to use the toilet can be a complicated one, and not actually accident-free. Some pet parents might have the patience for it, and it’s probably to show your cat how to use the toilet without having to buy a product like CitiKitty, but the idea here is to make it comfortable and natural for your cat so it can occur more quickly and with minimum “misses”.
The CitiKitty Toilet Training Kit uses a vindicated, disappearing litter box mechanism that has successfully toilet trained cats and kittens (older 3 months) for decades and is supported by veterinarians and cat lovers. Specially-designed useful training seat and easy-to-stick instructions assist your cat transition to the toilet. A candidate for CitiKitty toilet training is every healthy cat, three months of age or older that is happily using a litter box.
They claim:
- You can save over $2000 by not having to buy litter anymore (I think they are likely calculating the value over the lifetime of your cat.)
- You’ll be able to get free of your litter box when the cats are fully trained.
- It doesn’t matter how old your cat is.
- It adapts all various toilet sizes
- If you have more than one cat you can train them both simultaneously.
- CitiKitty also suggests the product created to fit standard and elongated toilets so there will be no any difficulties when trying to use CitiKitty on the toilet in your home.
The Cost
The CitiKitty products can be bought for less than $30, either at the official site or at Amazon. It’s far less than the Litter Kwitter, which is sold for $50. These kits share a lot of general features, so many cat parents would choose for the CitiKitty first for the low price to see if it’s something that will work for their cat. Unused CitiKitty products for returns are accepted unopened so there’s no guarantee in place if it doesn’t work for your cat.
The Commitment
As it is not an instant process, you will have to commit to the training on this. Also, you will have to get used to the idea of sharing your toilet seat with your cat.
Evaluation
The CitiKitty idea is a solid one, primarily giving your cat a good-sized litter tray, and then little by little removing the center until they’re hovering over the toilet. It subscribes to several problems that cats have at first, namely not wanting to climb themselves on the toilet seat. The cats will also gradually be weaned from wanting to dig and scratch at the litter. My cat was learning to use the toilet without any CitiKitty. She was just observing on people and after her buisnesses, she was scratching the floor.
In the web there are a lot of videos showing cats successfully using the toilet, and assuming for a minute that they did learn to do it with the CitiKitty, there are sure to be some videos in existence that show a cat not wanting to use it. It will be more impressive than seeing the end result are the videos out there of the real process, which show a cat’s readiness to use the practice trays such as CitiKitty.
Final CitiKitty Review
The CitiKitty product is getting our Good rating, but you should remember that this is still going to involve diligence and persistence on your part, and even then it might not work out for you yet. The reviews are promiscuous, but this is not sudden, as each cat parent is different, and each cat is too. Some cats characters might have a defiant personality and not take to CitiKitty at all.
