It has begun

That's right, the toilet training has begun.  It's going to be a long road of baby steps and cat treats.  We skipped to step 2, Litter Kwitter on the toilet.  Step one is Litter Kwitter on the floor, in the bathroom.  Too easy.  I haven't taken away their old litter box, and they are still using it instead.  So far they are just playing the new litter "box".  We'll be in this stage for about 2 weeks.    The next stage has a little hole in the middle for them to get used to.   Then the hole gets bigger and bigger.  If all goes well, they'll be perched on the toilet seat in about 2 months.  If all goes wrong, they'll be pissing on my bed.  I'm pretty confident in the cats, they have already learned some good tricks- how to play fetch (Marley), how to ring a bell for the balcony door to be opened (Salem), how to open cupboard doors (although I didn't teach them that) and how to push doors open (Salem).
