Thunks is being potty trained

8,574 Comments · Posted by beerorkid in animals

See how I used a pic of him drinking from the little toilet? That so cute. Actually it is because I am not going to even take a pic of my real toilet. It has been quite horrible actually.

Jake tried to get his kitties trained
(scroll down past the top chef post to see the progress)

We are trying a different approach. We are to the point where the litter box is on top of the toilet. We set KittyThunkle up with his own door, and took away his bedroom litter box, moved a litter box into the bathroom and started adding magazines. His litter box in the bedroom was really cool cuz it had a cover to keep him from flinging litter everywhere, and oh man does he love to throw litter. I got some woodchip flushable litter and started mixing it into his clumping litter. He did not like it too much, but still used the mix. The clumping stuff is bad in the bathroom, it sticks to everything, especially wet feet. Tonight is the first try with only wood chips so we will see how that goes.

We were near walmart and tried to find a bowl to put in the plop plop machine, but the two we got did not fit. Got home and realized a turkey heavy foil pan should work out well, so we will be moving to that in a few days. It has been a lot of work dealing with it all, but if we can get it to work, a few floating dooks will be nothing compared to dealing with a litter box.

Speaking honestly this is among the better discoveries of my recent browsing and a stop at canyonharborcollective reinforced that discovery quality the ranking of recent discoveries is informal but meaningful and this site has placed near the top of that ranking based on the consistency of quality across what I have already read carefully.
Levimella · 09/21/2026 at 2:08 PM

Reading this between meetings turned out to be the most useful thing I did all afternoon and a stop at cottonmeadowoutpost kept that productivity feeling going content can sometimes outperform actual work in terms of what gets accomplished mentally and this site managed that today which is genuinely a high bar to clear consistently.
Gabrieldup · 09/21/2026 at 2:10 PM

Worth pointing out the careful word choice in this post no buzzwords and no jargon and a look at snowcovevault continued that disciplined vocabulary sites that resist the pull of trendy language are sites that will read well in five years and this one is clearly built for that kind of long durability.
Arnoldmiz · 09/21/2026 at 2:28 PM

Reading this with a fresh mind in the morning brought out details I might have missed in the afternoon and a stop at stonebazaar earned the same fresh attention content that rewards being read at full attention rather than at energy lows is content with real density and this site has that density consistently.
Jamiefal · 09/21/2026 at 2:29 PM

A piece that left me thinking I had been undercaring about the topic and a look at copperstoneoutpost reinforced that mild concern content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is doing important work and this site is providing that gentle elevation of attention for me consistently.
Davonrak · 09/21/2026 at 2:35 PM

Felt like I was reading something written by someone who actually thinks about the topic rather than reciting it and a look at mooncovegalleria reinforced that impression the difference between recited content and considered content is huge and this site clearly belongs to the latter category which I appreciate as a careful reader looking for substance.
SteveBot · 09/21/2026 at 2:58 PM

If quality blog writing is dying as people sometimes claim then this site is one piece of evidence that it has not died yet and a look at marblestoneoutpost extended that evidence the broader cultural question about online writing has empirical answers in specific sites and this one is contributing to a more optimistic answer overall.
TravisAgorp · 09/21/2026 at 3:15 PM

Now planning to write about the topic myself eventually using this post as a reference and a look at quickharbortrading would also serve in that future piece content that becomes raw material for my own writing rather than just informing my reading is content with multiplicative value and this site is generating that multiplicative effect.
KeanuReeli · 09/21/2026 at 3:28 PM

However many similar pages I have read this one taught me something new and a stop at woodharborcollective added more new material content that contributes genuinely fresh information rather than recycling what is already widely available is content with real informational value and this site is providing that informational freshness at a notable rate.
JuliusMut · 09/21/2026 at 3:33 PM

Looking forward to seeing what gets published next month and a look at silvercoveemporium extended that anticipation across the broader site finding myself looking forward to a sites future content rather than just consuming its existing content is a stronger commitment level than I usually reach with new finds and this site triggered that.
Sylvesterkes · 09/21/2026 at 4:29 PM

Worth recognising the specific care that went into how this post ended and a look at inventoryisland maintained the same careful conclusions endings are where most blog content falls apart and this site has clearly invested in the closing stretches of its pieces rather than letting them simply trail off when energy fades.
Gingerassot · 09/21/2026 at 4:58 PM

Big thanks to whoever wrote this you saved me a lot of time hunting for the same info on other sites and a stop at creekharboroutpost only added more useful detail without going off topic that kind of focus is honestly hard to come across these days when most posts wander everywhere.
SkylarSON · 09/21/2026 at 4:58 PM

Now thinking about how to apply some of this to a project I have been planning and a look at zenwarehouse added more material for the planning content that connects to my actual creative work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my reading rotation consistently going forward.
Keatonmat · 09/21/2026 at 5:49 PM

Decided to set a calendar reminder to revisit and a stop at linencoveoutpost extended that revisit list calendar entries for content are a level of commitment I rarely make but when I do they signal a higher regard than a simple bookmark and this site has earned that calendar tier of relationship from me today.
GilbertQuelm · 09/21/2026 at 7:37 PM

Skipped the related products section because there was none and a stop at birchmeadowtradehouse also lacked any aggressive monetisation content that is not constantly trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and that confidence shows up as a different reading experience.
Coenzooro · 09/21/2026 at 7:38 PM

My usual pattern is to skim and bounce but this site has reset that pattern temporarily and a stop at timberbrookartisanhouse maintained the slower reading mode content that changes how I read is content with structural influence and this site has clearly nudged my reading behaviour toward something better at least for the duration of these visits.
KrisEcogs · 09/21/2026 at 7:48 PM

However many similar pages I have read this one taught me something new and a stop at shorelinesupply added more new material content that contributes genuinely fresh information rather than recycling what is already widely available is content with real informational value and this site is providing that informational freshness at a notable rate.
Darylskern · 09/21/2026 at 8:36 PM

Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note and a stop at marblecoveoutpost extended that comment worthy quality the urge to actively contribute to a sites community rather than passively consume from it is something specific content provokes and this site has provoked that engagement urge from me today.
CarmeloWhire · 09/21/2026 at 8:49 PM

Decided this was the best thing I had read all morning and a stop at rosestonecollective kept that ranking intact ranking my reading is something I do mentally throughout the day and the top rank is competitive and not easily won but this site won it without needing to overstate its claims for that.
Lanerar · 09/21/2026 at 10:38 PM

Reading this brought back the satisfaction I used to get from blogs ten years ago and a stop at horrorhubshop kept that nostalgic quality alive sites that capture what was good about an earlier era of internet writing are increasingly precious and this one is doing that without feeling like a deliberate throwback at all.
KyrieApelp · 09/21/2026 at 11:24 PM

Genuinely good work the kind that holds up over multiple readings without losing its appeal and a stop at coaststoneexchange kept that going definitely a site I will be returning to and probably mentioning to others who work in or care about this particular area of interest today and in coming weeks.
Emilianokenny · 09/22/2026 at 12:01 AM

Skipped to a specific section because I knew that was the question I had and the answer was clean and a stop at rubystonegalleria similarly delivered targeted answers without burying them content engineered for readers who arrive with specific needs rather than open ended browsing is increasingly valuable in a search heavy reading environment.
Garysaf · 09/22/2026 at 12:13 AM

Glad I clicked through from where I did because this turned out to be worth the time spent and after silkmeadowtrading I had a fuller picture the kind of content that earns its visitors through delivering value rather than chasing them through aggressive advertising or constant pop ups appearing everywhere on the screen lately.
Tobiasgease · 09/22/2026 at 1:13 AM

Reading this confirmed that the topic deserves more careful attention than it usually gets and a stop at priceprism extended that elevated framing content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is serving a quiet but important editorial function for the broader cultural conversation about it.
IgnacioLam · 09/22/2026 at 1:50 AM

Closed the tab feeling I had spent the time well and a stop at plumharbortrading extended that feeling across more pages the test of whether time on a site was well spent is one I apply silently after closing tabs and very few sites pass it but this one passed it cleanly today afternoon clearly.
Ashersip · 09/22/2026 at 2:10 AM

Appreciated how the writer anticipated the questions a reader might have along the way and a stop at rainstoneoutpost continued that thoughtful approach you can tell when content has been edited with the reader in mind versus just published as a first draft and this is clearly the former approach across what I read.
Paulamout · 09/22/2026 at 2:47 AM

On reflection this is the kind of writing that improves my taste for what is possible in the format and a look at ivorymarket continued raising that bar content that elevates my expectations rather than lowering them is doing important work in calibrating my standards and this site is participating in that elevation reliably.
BjornUnela · 09/22/2026 at 3:58 AM

A genuinely unexpected highlight of my reading week and a look at brightstoneexchange extended that pattern the surprise of finding excellent content rather than the predictable mediocre is one of the few real pleasures of casual web browsing and this site delivered that surprise cleanly today which I really do appreciate.
AdrianBor · 09/22/2026 at 5:20 AM

Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword and a look at warehousewave continued that clean vocabulary content free of jargon and trendy phrases reads better and ages better and this site has clearly committed to a vocabulary that will not feel dated in three years which is impressive editorially.
Juliodeere · 09/22/2026 at 5:55 AM

Took longer than expected to finish because I kept stopping to think and a stop at breakfastboulevard did the same to me content that provokes thought rather than just delivering information is in a different category and the team here is clearly working at that higher level rather than just cranking out posts.
Percytounc · 09/22/2026 at 6:13 AM

Decided to subscribe to the RSS feed if there is one and a stop at silverstonecollective confirmed that decision content that I want delivered to me proactively rather than just remembered when I have time is content that has earned a higher level of commitment from me as a reader looking for reliable sources.
Deonnam · 09/22/2026 at 6:32 AM

Reading this in a quiet hour and finding it suited the quiet and a stop at gingercoveemporium extended the quiet reading mood content that matches its own optimal reading conditions rather than fighting them is content that has been thoughtfully calibrated and this site reads as having a particular reading mood in mind throughout.
Kendrickheera · 09/22/2026 at 7:08 AM

Started reading and ended an hour later without realising the time had passed and a look at goldenstoneoutlet produced the same time dilation effect when content makes time feel different the writer has achieved something well beyond the average and this site is producing that experience for me reliably across multiple readings.
BrandonNifop · 09/22/2026 at 7:09 AM

Decided to read this site for a while before forming a verdict and the verdict after several pages is positive and a stop at birchtrailartisanmarket continued that pattern judging a site requires more than one post and giving sites a fair sample is something I try to do for promising candidates rather than rushing to dismiss.
Kentaddek · 09/22/2026 at 7:15 AM

Appreciate how nothing here feels copied or pieced together from other places the voice is consistent and the tone stays human and after I checked jewelharborcollective I noticed the same style holds which is a small detail but it makes the whole experience feel personal rather than like another generic site.
Trentcat · 09/22/2026 at 7:19 AM

Glad I stumbled across this post the explanations actually make sense without needing background knowledge to follow along and after a stop at orchardharbortrading the same was true there no assumptions about the reader just clear writing that anyone can understand from the first line right through to the end.
Corysib · 09/22/2026 at 7:22 AM

A piece that did not require external context to follow and a look at coppercovevault maintained the same self contained quality content that stands alone without forcing readers to chase prerequisites is more accessible and this site has clearly thought about how each piece can serve a fresh visitor rather than only existing members.
TobyLig · 09/22/2026 at 7:25 AM

A piece that left me thinking I had been undercaring about the topic and a look at honeymeadowmarketplace reinforced that mild concern content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is doing important work and this site is providing that gentle elevation of attention for me consistently.
BjornNex · 09/22/2026 at 7:50 AM

Skipped lunch to finish reading which says something and a stop at ravenstonecollective kept me at my desk longer than planned when content beats the lunch impulse the writer has done something genuinely impressive in an attention environment full of immediately satisfying alternatives competing for the same finite block of reader time.
DanielPleds · 09/22/2026 at 8:21 AM

A thoughtful piece that did not strain to be thoughtful and a look at authorityanvil continued that effortless quality when thinking shows up in writing without the writer drawing attention to it you know you are reading something genuinely considered rather than something performing the appearance of consideration which is also common online.
MiloCib · 09/22/2026 at 8:58 AM

Reading this triggered a small change in how I think about the topic going forward and a stop at lemontrailmarketworks reinforced that subtle shift the rare content that actually moves my thinking rather than just confirming or filling it is the kind I most value and this site is providing that kind of impact today.
Emanuelpet · 09/22/2026 at 9:26 AM

Beyond the immediate post itself the editorial sensibility behind the site is what struck me and a stop at nectarcrate continued displaying that sensibility content that reveals editorial choices through accumulated reading is content with structural quality and this site has clearly developed an underlying approach worth identifying through multiple sessions of reading.
RodrigoSpuby · 09/22/2026 at 11:46 AM

Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious and a stop at deskdahlia only widened the gap comparing content side by side is a useful exercise and the gap between this site and average competitors in the space is large enough to be noticeable from the first paragraph.
Spenceratoca · 09/22/2026 at 12:40 PM

Considered as a whole this site has developed a coherent point of view that comes through in individual pieces and a look at caramelmeadowtradehouse continued displaying that coherence sites with a unified perspective rather than a grab bag of takes are sites with editorial maturity and this one has clearly developed that maturity through years of work.
SteveStype · 09/22/2026 at 12:50 PM

Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic no clickbait and no padding and a stop at velvetgrovevendorworks confirmed the difference this place clearly has its own voice rather than copying the formulas everyone else uses to chase clicks online which is becoming increasingly rare these days across nearly every popular subject.
RicardoFek · 09/22/2026 at 12:56 PM

Now planning to write about the topic myself eventually using this post as a reference and a look at emberwoodlandtrading would also serve in that future piece content that becomes raw material for my own writing rather than just informing my reading is content with multiplicative value and this site is generating that multiplicative effect.
Nolanfum · 09/22/2026 at 1:45 PM

My usual response to new bookmarks is to forget them but this one I have already returned to twice and a look at silkstonegalleria pulled me back a third time the actual return rate to bookmarked sites is the real measure of value and this one is clearing that measure at a notable rate already.
AndyLoale · 09/22/2026 at 1:54 PM

Reading this slowly and letting each paragraph land before moving on and a stop at forestharbortradehouse earned the same patient approach content that rewards slow reading rather than speed is content with real density and the writers here are clearly producing work that benefits from the careful eye rather than the rushed scan.
ErvinBuh · 09/22/2026 at 2:47 PM

Will be sharing this with a couple of people who care about the topic and a stop at crawlclarity added more material worth passing along the kind of site that is generous with quality content and does not make you jump through hoops to access it which is appreciated more than the team probably realises.
Craigtah · 09/22/2026 at 2:54 PM

This one is staying open in a tab for the rest of the day so I can come back and re read certain parts and a look at harborstoneoutpost suggests I will be doing the same with a few more pages here too this is going to be a deep dive over the coming hours.
