Paul Kunkel’s foolproof, tried-and-true 21 day program teaches any litter-trained cat to use a toilet instead of a litter box. It doesn’t require anything fancy—a toilet, a stack of magazines or newspapers, masking tape, plastic wrap, a supply of cat litter, and a litter box—and it’s the perfect program for anyone who wants a happier, healthier cat. The program begins with you placing the litter box next to the toilet, and ends with your beloved cat using the toilet—just like any other member of the family. For life. Along the way, owners learn why toilet-training is beneficial to cats. In well-researched, totally updated, fact-filled text, Kunkel traces the history of this mysterious animal, and explains why many cats equate the smell of a litter box with danger; why the fragrances, deodorants, dyes, and disinfectants found in most litters are detrimental to your cat’s well-being; and why the decision to transition to the toilet is one that will benefit both you and your cat. No more litter box, no more litter, no more cleaning—and no more smell!
