Litter training the Diva

No advice I am afraid, but wishing you luck on your mission!

Thankyou all for your input so far.
Update, the litter tray with carpet in has has been used for a wee but unfortunately I dont know who used it

.
I now have 5 trays set up. one in each of the bedroom, bathroom and living room. I now have 2 in the kitchen, it being the biggest room with plenty of space to do so, they are side by side as Fran had suggested. If its worth a go once, its worth a go twice

. I dont have the sand or the earth as yet coz I havent been able to get out to the garden centre for it yet.
This morning I spent ages scrubbing the carpets with washing powder and water, with a tiny nail brush

, just to make sure all areas were thoroughly clean once again. I havent picked up a poo since wednesday, not sure if Graham has, will find out when he gets home. I do know that she hasnt done one in a litter tray coz I know the difference between the two of them.
Will update later and thanx once again for any help, suggestions or advice.

Have looked at the link Dinahsmum, thanx, will maybe invest in thet in the new year when I have some cash once again.

Todays update.
Found a lovely surprise this morning. An Eva poo in a litter tray. YAY!!!
Then I came into this room and found one here too.
Spoke to Graham about training them to use the loo and he thinks its a super idea, since we are running out of ideas, what have we got to lose. So once I get paid, I will order the kit and see what happens.

Well, it's progress of a sort Elaine, lol. Hope the toilet training idea works for you. I think it sounds like a great idea.

Well, congratulations on half a success! Have you given the shredded paper a try?

Elaine · 24-12-2006, 10:24 PM

I have tried paper litter and newspaper but not shredded paper. Can you buy shredded paper? Its got to be worth a shot. Anything is LOL.

Truthfully, don't know! I've seen shredded paper mentioned as a litter substitute, but never needed to try it. I'm assuming you don't have a paper shredder at home (nor do (I

) but maybe some of your friends work in an office where stuff is shredded regularly and they could save a bagful for you to try,,,wouldn't cost anything and it might just maybe work....good luck, and Merry Christmas!

Thanx DM, will ask around.
Merry Xmas xxx

Well the Diva was a good little girl and pooped in a litter tray this evening.
Dont be fooled that the issue is solved folks coz she does this from time to time then reverts back to using the carpets.
