    They had a device at the San Diego CAT SHOW last week where U can train your cat to use the POOT POOT seat instead of a litter box. IT starts out with some litter on the seat holder, and then after awhile, U take that piece out and the cat just squats and does what a cat has to do. HOWEVER, U wouldn't want the cat to use it as a drinking fountain if they learn to do this. Also, it is probably tough to teach the cat to FLUSH!

    We've had a "lid down" policy for years here.

    Damn, George. You have a way with cars AND animals. Your cats look so happy.

    Probably because they have me so well trained.

    "We now keep the lid down, when not in use."

    Tried that and they still refused the water bowl next to the food. After several days they started showing signs of dehydration so I relented.

    Wow, talk about hard headed.
    I have a friend who has a cat that will only drink from the bathroom faucet. It sits on the edge of the sink, and yells untill she turns the water on.

    Loaf, my avatar, would only drink water out of a coffee cup, and it had to be in a specific place in the kitchen.

    We have a bathtub faucet that has a perpetual drip. So much my wife keeps a bucket under the faucet to collect the water. The Pusses climb up on the tub and lick the water coming out of the faucet.

    Quirky? More often than not downright screwy like a friend's Suzy, a pretty long hair calico who was nowhere to be seen until she bit an ankle and streaked away. She had another bad habit of chewing on things, lamp cords were her favorite until the day came I was there and she started in on one. He started to chase her away but I told him she'll learn, just watch. With nothing grounded nearby she wouldn't get electrocuted so we just waited and watched. Soon enough wires were exposed and it happened, they shorted together in her mouth with a loud bang. The noise along with a momentary flash of pain was quite enough, she never chewed anything again. That's the psychology the Delaware Indians used in the old days, curious children are attracted to the fire and stick their hands in it so parent's didn't snatch them away, once burned twice shy.
