Doodle: Toilet Training Days

Doodle ~ Age 1 ~ NYC ~ circa 2000



Most of you are aware that Doodle the Cat is toilet trained (click here!) but you probably don't know or want to know the details of the training itself which is essentially potty training a furry toddler who doesn't speak English. I'm not gonna lie, it was challenging. For both of us. Half of it was me guessing when she had to go, and encouraging her when she was on the fence so she didn't crap behind the drapes. Here's a picture of Doodle in the beginning to middle stages back in the day--sitting in a stainless steel mixing bowl filled with fresh litter--apparently not on the fence, just resigned and frustrated with me.
