Quit the litter for good

Finding the previous story about twenty cats in one house made us think of the never-ending issue of litter. So we went looking for alternative methods – and found that while some brands work better than others and some are kinder to the environment, all of them increase the weekly shopping bill and need constant cleaning out.

A Sydney inventor, however, has come up with a possible solution with the Litter Kwitter, a 3-step training system designed to have your cat using the household toilet. Drawing inspiration from the movie Meet The Parents, where Robert De Niro's character trained the family cat to use the toilet, the theory is that by using three disks with increasing-sized holes, you can eliminate the need for litter trays in around 8 weeks.
