 Living a litter-free lifestyle April 3, 2006

I got a CitiKitty kit last fall as a bit of a skeptic... now I brag about my toilet-trained cat to strangers in the grocery line. The kit is very straight-forward and simple to use. It sits on the rim of your toilet underneath the seat. You fill it with about a quarter-inch of litter and gradually punch out the holes in the middle so your cat will start going in the water and weaning off of litter. (You do have to get flushable litter to use with it.) I took things super slow with my cat and it was only a couple months before we had eliminated litter completely! She sits on the toilet seat and goes right in the water without any problems whatsoever, all I ever have to do is flush. Everyone compares her to the cat in Meet The Parents. I can't even imagine how I used to live with smelly messy litter in my apartment!
CitiKitty worked exactly as described! April 5, 2006

I first purchased Kitty Whiz attracted to the lower price, well you know the old saying you get what you pay for. The Kitty Whiz seat stated it is NOT recommended for cats over 10lbs, it should say it's not recommended for cats over 7lbs it was so flimsy it would not support the weight of my 9lbs cat. So I had to looked into a number of different books and training devices and found a number of artices on this product CitiKitty. Most important -CitiKitty's training seat advertised it holds over 25 lbs which it does and the training guide and tips & tricks brochure are easy-to-follow and have good information. My cat has been litter free for over two months! Clearly the better product out there.
Skeptical but now convinced - works well if you aren't lazy September 19, 2007

I read several reviews and had some mixed feelings before I purchased the CitiKitty trainer, but I decided to go ahead and give it a shot.
I started off by moving my litter box near the toilet and then elevating it slowly to toilet seat level. After they were well adjusted to jumping on the toilet and entering the litter box, I made the switch to the CitiKitty and removed the litter box from the house. I brought both cats in, set them on it, and gave them so much attention I thought they were going to pur themselves to death. They now love being on the toilet. I put them in the bathroom overnight for the first night only just to help them figure it out. I used the same litter I used to use (flushable) so they would know the smell. I woke up to find several presents buried in the CityKitty and again told them how good of a job they did and gave them more praise and affection. Since then I've been letting them prowl the house and we haven't had a single accident, which is amazing considering how hard it was to train them to go in the litter box at first. I popped out half of the first ring and no one seemed to mind, so after a week I popped out the other half of the first ring and that is my current progress. There still haven't been any accidents, so I plan on working on ring 2 by the middle of next week.
Strength of the Plastic:
I was somewhat skeptical of the people who said it seemed flimsy, and it turns out I was right. I tested the shear strength of the CitiKitty at several different points with multiple types of loading, and it never popped a perforation. I set 20 pound dumbbells across it, olympic style 10, 15, and 20 pound weights, and I put point loads on each of the perforated rings. As I mentioned before, not once did it fail in any position with up to 30 pounds on it. I then put a 10 pound weight and both of my cats on it, which is much more than overkill, and it again worked fine with no buckling, shearing, or bending. There was a slight depression as they moved (10 pound weight + both cats at the same time), but even your concrete floor exhibits this behavior when you walk across it, so it is negligible. Adding more than the max weight should be sufficient to see that even with the inner rings popped out, the support structure will continue to hold the weight of a single cat quite easily. Those of you who claim it is a "flimsy piece of junk" are wrong and are giving the product an inaccurate review.
Instructions:
I can see why some people are having trouble training their cats. The instructions, if you look at it from a high level conceptual angle, take dedication, persistence, and patience from the owner. The instructions are clearly meant to be adapted to each individual situation and are just a guideline, but people seem to be missing that point. Not every cat is going to accept the change immediately. I am currently training 2 cats on mine and one is definitely catching on faster than the other, but with affection, treats, praise, and persistence they are both getting the hang of it.
Overall:
I have high expectations for this product because I am willing to put in the time to make it a success. It isn't magic - it takes work. Cats are smarter than a lot of people give them credit for, so if you want this to work, put in some of your own time and you will see results. If you buy the CitiKitty and expect to just change the litter at your leisure and spend no time helping the cats figure it out, you will more than likely be disappointed, but blaming the product for that is downright foolish.

This gizmo WORKS. I have two kittens, now aged 7mos. We started when they were 6 mos. We are half-way towards complete training, so far so good.
I have a number of bathrooms and wanted a cheap solution to training my cats. Citikitty is it.
great product November 3, 2006

This is a great product, it got my cat toilet trained in no time. I started when he was about 4-5 months old and it made toilet training a breeze. The only trouble is that he doesn't understand that he can now use any toilet not just the one I trained him on. It is an easy solution to toilet training your cat. No more litter!
