Kitty Toilet Training 5

For those of you who don't know, I'm training my cat, Alfred, to use a human toilet. For more back story, Click Here.

We've finally gotten to the point where we've put a bowl of litter into the toilet. Alfred was puzzled at first, as it is a bowl and hard to dig a hole into. Much of the litter got into the actual toilet the first couple of tries, but now he's a pro.

Unfortunately, now when I remove the bowl to go to the bathroom myself, he looks at me as if to say, "What are you doing? That's mine!"

Now I have to wait until I have a day off so I can catch him in the act and make sure his feet are on the toilet seat. Everything has been so easy as of yet, I have a feeling that this stage is going to be the hardest. When he gets the idea, then I can start reducing the litter, and adding a bit of water to the mix.

On a side note, while playing in the upstairs bathroom (not his bathroom), he fell into the toilet again. That makes 3 dunks in the toilet and he keeps coming back for more. I've never had a cat before that was so ambiguous to water.

Submissions: Pink

Every Friday, I put together a treasury of some of my favorite items made by etsy sellers, post it on my blog and call it the Friday's Favorites.

Last week's treasury (High Quality, Low Sales II) had 186 views, 42 comments, 53 clicks and 14 admirers!

This week, I'm looking for PINK! If you have anything pink in your shop, post the link in the comments, and check back tomorrow for the Friday's Favorites.

Don't have pink? Feel free to nominate a friend's item and help spread the love.

I will be looking for items in the forums as well, but I always consider blog submissions first.

The Pink Summer Dog Sweater pictured above is my pink and is available in my shop.

New Sock Ideas 2

Well, I finished one of the lion socks, and then promptly ran out of yarn while making the second. You would think that knitting as long as I have, I would be a better judge of how much yarn is needed for a project, but apparently, that is a skill that I am lacking.

Instead, I started working on a new Faux Wrap Sweater that I recently sold. I knew that I didn't have enough yarn for that one, but I figured I'd go to the yarn store and get enough to finish both in one shot. It is so much easier making something for the second time, as there is less guess work and less unraveling to achieve the look you want, as I've already done it once.

I guess rabbits only look sweet and docile. Whatever you do, don't steal their beds from them...

Kitty Toilet Training 4

For those of you that don't know, I'm training my cat to use a human toilet. To read about it from the beginning, click on the "cat" label on the left of the screen.

Yesterday, I did the final lifting of the litter box. It's just about level with the toilet now, and Alfred (the cat), still has no problem and has not balked once. When he goes into the bathroom, I check and make sure he's using the litter box, and not just some corner of the room, and so far, so good.

Probably around mid week, next week, I'll try the bowl of litter in the toilet. That will be a big step for him, but I'm pretty sure he'll be alright with it. I really can't wait to get the litter box out of there!

What do all of these beautiful items have in common? Well, believe it or not, all of these shops have less than ten sales. So many wonderful things to choose from, lets get these guys into the double digits!
