For the toilet trained cat owners: Do you find yourself having to wipe the seat each time after they use it? Does the urine spray out of the toilet?

I only had to wipe the seat once and that was at the very beginning. The urine does not spray out of the toilet

Never had urine on the seat, or out of the toilet, only paw prints on the seat, I wipe the seat with flushable wipes?

So, I was able to finally get my cat to use the red stage only for pooping. I found out in the process that she stands when she pees and doesn't squat. I should have known that from seeing the inside markings of her litter box. She continued with that same habit with the Litter Kwitter, so I had to just stop using it.

No. A man peeing standing up will produce far more splatter than our cats do. They way they squat, everything is directed downward. I note zero residue on the toilet seat itself as a result of the cats using it. During training, yes, our white adapter regularly got urine on it if the cats peed at the edge of the insert.

My cat never was able to adjust to the last step; toilet training did not work for my male cat.

I've had to wipe the toilet seat from feces once but only because it hit the rim. I have three cats in my house that I've trained and all three of them point towards the toilet to use the bathroom. I suppose it depends on the cat. They are on the last stage. If you have any more questions feel free.

I try to wipe it down daily. Usually it's just the small inner ledge that gets dirty, not the part that the cat stands on. I've never seen any urine spray from outside the toilet, but occasionally a little piece of poo here and there (I have no idea why, though). No matter what, it's way better than cleaning a cat box once the cat completes the training.

After my cat became completely trained, I always leave the seat up, so he stands on the rim. Cats assume two distinct postures, depending on which function they're performing. When urinating, they tuck down into the bowl and take careful aim. I think cats like hearing the "tinkling" sound, confirming they're right on target!

Nope! Look for some videos of toilet trained cats; most perch in such a way that everything is directed down, nice and neat! I clean the toilet once a week with no issue.

I live with a herd of cats - I do rescue and the ones that tend to pee on things are the ones that nobody wants of course .... I've found with things like sleeping bags and such, just saturate with zero odor and leave sit for 24 hours. then run the bag thru the wash.

That's what I did initially but it you leave the pee sitting in the litter box for a long time, it's gonna smell badly. Because the pee always goes down to the bottom of the box and the sand does not clump, I had trouble cleaning it. I had to mix the crystal with another cat sand product (Arm & Hammer) in order let pee sand to clump and reduce pee odor.

This is definitely a question I should have considered before buying mine. My one cat likes to pee in the corner directly above the grate so it does require regular maintenance to clean out that spot or else it will build up where the scoop can't reach. I wouldn't call it a huge dealbreaker, though, just a minor inconvenience and still better than scooping out a normal litter box every day. (Also, I've noticed this problem gets worse if I don't occasionally even out the litter, since the grate tends to push it all forward and leaves those back corners a little low.)

From what I've seen, yes. We have a total of 8 cats in the house, three that are kept in separate parts of the house. We also have a fairly decent sized feral cat colony that lives around us, and marks around outside, which is what is causing the cats to urinate/spray in the house I believe. We have gone from 2 or 3 of the cats urinating in the house at least once or twice a week, to the rare occasion per month now.

I use this product to kill the order of pet urine in my house. After spraying the area and letting set for about 24 hours I then clean the area and if possible steam clean (floors). I then respray if I think there is urine still under the baseboards or spots my cleaning missed. If it is used again by my cat, I know I did not get all the urine cleaned up, however, I can not smell urine in my house and visitors have commented they would never know I have multiple cats.

I haven't. If it is any help, I use a litter box lined with a garbage bag, and then filled with the litter. I guess it is because my cat urinates so much at a time, but it soaks all the way through the fairly thick litter, and while clumped together, the clumps stick to the plastic at the bottom of the litter box.

I've had mine for over a year and the only time I ever noticed an odor was when some poop got stuck on the inside of the globe. I'd check that. Also, depending on the odor, is it possible your cat peed on the outside...ie, didn't get his/her butt all the way in?

My cat has not re-soiled the area. Our Feline vet sells plugins that are made with Urine Off to discourage accidents.

It's not that easy to clean because of the texture. Easiest way I found is to take it outside and spray it off with a garden hose and to use some kind of neutralizing agent (Nature's Miracle or something like that) to neutralize the urine so that the cats don't keep just urinating on the mat instead of going into the litter box.

One of my cats likes to spray, which is why I got this litterbox for him. Overall, he really likes the box as do I. However, the urine does get into the latches. This allows the urine to come through to the outside of the latches, which is very difficult to clean. I have to use Q-tips and even then it is difficult. Also, once in the latch, the urine also runs in the channel where the hood fits into the bottom. Both my cats love using this box, but the latches are a huge problem for me.

Hey Michael, I had this exact problem with my cat. He was peeing on my couch, bed, rugs, etc. He has had some slip ups since I got this litter box, but they are significantly reduced. Having this one plus my old regular litter box (which I try to shovel out every time I notice he's used it) seem to work pretty well. He seems to pee outside of the litter box most when I'm not doing as good of a job cleaning out the original box. Hope this helps! It's been really helpful for me.

One wipe works for my cats. After I wipe the carrier, I lay the used wipe under their towel. (The towel is used for extra padding and smells like home.)

Hi Maria ~ My 6cats have been using the regular SwheatScoop since the mid-90s, so I've been scooping umpteen clumps of litter weekly. Every one of them goes into the toilet & there's never been a problem with clogging or otherwise. The clumps stay hard & together in the litterbox, but when they hit the toiletbowl water, they fall apart & flush completely.

Yes. After each use by your cat it scoops the litter and washes the reusable litter. You hook the Genie up to your water line and run a hose to your drain so it actually flushes the sanitized waste. Once every couple of months you use a maintenance cartridge to clean the units inside and prevent lime buildup. I love the Genie. I have three cats and have used it for three months with no problems at all. I just add a few new pellets every week, and change the cartridge about every month.

I pick out and flush the solids every day or more frequently if necessary (really easy if you keep the box in the bathroom) - no problem with clogging the toilet, then stir around to mix the wet. Depending on how many cats, I dump and replace about once a week. Your nose will tell you when it's time to change.

If the stool is solid and the pants fit properly, it should pass to the litter box. It's been a while, but I believe the opening stretches from the tail to leave space for defecation (it's hard to tell from that picture). That said, my cat had soft stools and diarrhea and I ended up with a horrid mess on both the cat and the pants.
