While this book is very detailed, well-researched, and well-illustrated, this toilet-training method just didn't work on my cats.I have two cats. Both are siamese, born on the same day about 15 months ago. They've lived their entire lives indoors in the company of people. Before we tried toilet-training them, they were perfectly box-trained. As soon as we started lifting the litter box up off the floor, cat poops began appearing on the floor now and then instead of in the box. We tried giving them a couple low steps to help them climb up to the box -- no help. We tried scouring the floor with all sorts of chemicals, sprinkled it with red pepper, we even covered it with a big potted plant and some cinder blocks. Each time we'd end up finding piles of poop between the obstacles.We ended up with a thoroughly stinky bathroom, a scraped-up floor, a dead plant (not much sunlight in the bathroom), and diappointment. (sigh) I guess you can't win 'em all.
