 Litter Kwitter Failure Jun 17, 2010
This product is not worth it. The rings are too shallow to work with. You end up with massive mess of litter on the floor as well as cat stuff where they miss. Cleaning the ring is a nightmare. It has ridges you must dump the litter out daily and scooping whats stuck is very difficult. At the end my kitties were not impressed and neither of them were successful at being potty trained. The truth is that this product is flawed from inception. We wil try again with a home made device based on "The Toilet Trained Cat" idea and if that fails we will move on to the "Cat Genie". I do have clients who are fairly satisfied with the Cat Genie; teh downfall to that system is the plastic litter sticks to the cats paws and is quite messy all over the house. Also its expensive and often malfunctions and wont work in the malfunctioned stage. So there are problems with every system its all in what you can live with. I don't like the mess of litter on the floor so we will proceed with our next adventure.
I do not recommnend the litter Kwitter at all its a waste of money for a device that has a high failure rate and quite a mess.

 It WAS working so well... Jun 04, 2010
When my husband and I first got the Litter Kwitter, we were skeptical. It was quite a shock when our eight-year-old cat, Albert, took to it as quickly as he did. He seriously appreciated (or seemed to, anyway) that it was a cleaner, less irritating way to go. He's half Maine Coon, so he has long tufts of fur between his toes, which are webbed, for some reason, and he definitely hated getting the clumping clay litter stuck in there. He is also a very dapper creature, and his distaste for foul smelling things has always been clear. When using the regular litter box, he will not bury his poos. He wants them buried, going so far as to even come get me or my husband, and bring us back to his litter box, but he, himself, is unwilling to scratch the litter anywhere near the offending mass. Instead his modus operandi was to fling the unsoiled litter about with great vim.
Despite his quick adaptation to the Kwitter, my husband and I advanced him excruciatingly slowly. We spent over a month on each stage, even buying the two extra, intermediate, rings to ensure success. And success we had, until the final green ring. In the advertisements for the product, the company states that any cat, even older, larger cats, can be trained. But perhaps not so much with older, larger, less-than-graceful cats with big tufts of fur between webbed toes. It is our belief that through his large size, older age, ungraceful, tuft-footedness, bewebbed toedness, or some combination of the above he managed to deposit himself in the toilet, along with whatever he had already left in there. That was the end of that. Period.
We tried starting him over, we tried patience, cajoling, praise, bribery. But in the end, nothing, not for love or money-- or blessed treats-- could that animal be coerced back onto that toilet. He DID, however, develop a distinct taste for relieving himself at an elevation greater than floor level. We are now down two couches and one mattress. You may say, "But just don't let him go on there," and to you, Sir, I say that you have yet to fully comprehend the mind and ways of Cat.
I believe that we have been at this now for about eight months. It has been six weeks or so since our last attempt with the toilet. We have abandoned this dream, so close though we were. O' to have naught to do but flush. C'est la vie. We have, nevertheless, opted to keep the Kwitter as Albert's permanent litter box. He will forever be on the red, first, ring. We keep it in the bathtub. Even just as a litter box, it is a superior vessel for cat excrement. We put little enough litter in so that we have no problem dumping it out into the toilet and cleaning it after each use. It is therefore less stinky than his old box. And, Albert is still happier because he doesn't have said stink on his person after he makes his toilet, and can still live without getting the clay litter stuck between his toes.
I give the relatively high rating of four stars because it is a useful product anyway, even though we failed to toilet train Albert, and also because I am positive that, were Bert just a little younger, or less fat, or possessed of normal feet that it would have worked like a charm (providing, naturally, that the directions were carefully followed).

It works... but not in 8 weeks! Mar 07, 2010
My only complaint about this product is that it surely does not "work in 8 weeks" like they advertise. Perhaps some cats can be trained in 8 weeks, but not mine. Red phase was super easy for her to grasp. Amber phase was difficult, but with patience and a lot of time (5-6 weeks) she did master it. We just started green phase, and so far so good.. but I think you need to have lot of patience with toilet training a cat. I wish they were more honest regarding the time, patience and the accidents you should expect, so people don't get frustrated and give up on the product altogether.
