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.

Took some notes for a project I am working on and a stop at daisyaisle added more raw material to those notes content that contributes to my own creative work rather than just being interesting in the moment is the kind I value most and the kind I will keep coming back to repeatedly.
TracePoode · 09/25/2026 at 12:44 AM

Genuine pleasure to read and that is not something I say often after a casual click through and a quick visit to pinemeadowtradehouse kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.
Terrellirrar · 09/25/2026 at 2:11 AM

Appreciate the practical examples they made the abstract points easier to grasp and a stop at oakharborcollective added more of the same this site clearly understands that real examples beat empty theory every single time which is the mark of a writer who knows their audience well and respects their time.
WinstonSeiff · 09/25/2026 at 2:52 AM

Now recognising that the post handled the topic with appropriate technical precision without becoming dry and a stop at creekharborvendorhall continued that balance technical precision and readability are often in tension and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain both at once which is one of the harder editorial achievements in the form.
MarioHerce · 09/25/2026 at 3:34 AM

Speaking as someone who reads a lot on this topic this site has earned a high position in my source rankings and a stop at velvetbrookvault reinforced that ranking the informal ranking of sources for a topic is something I maintain mentally and this site has moved into the upper portion of those rankings clearly.
QuentinTow · 09/25/2026 at 3:35 AM

Saving the link for sure this one is a keeper and a look at zenwillowtrading confirmed I should bookmark the entire site rather than just this page the consistency across what I have seen so far suggests there is a lot more here worth coming back for soon when I have more time.
Stanleycon · 09/25/2026 at 3:45 AM

Reading this gave me the rare experience of fully agreeing with all the conclusions and a stop at calmcovevault continued that agreement pattern content that aligns with my existing views without seeming designed to do so is just content that happens to be reasonable and this site reads as reasonable rather than ideological mostly.
PorterNailD · 09/25/2026 at 6:25 AM

Just wanted to drop a quick note saying this was a useful read on a topic I have been circling no fluff and a stop at graniteharbortraders added a few extra points that fit the same simple style which makes the whole site feel coherent rather than thrown together by many different writers with different goals.
DravenJep · 09/25/2026 at 6:28 AM

Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious and a stop at coraldockartisanoutlet 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.
HermanUnwip · 09/25/2026 at 8:37 AM

Solid endorsement from me the writing earns it and a look at emberridgeartisanoutlet continues to earn it across the broader site too the kind of operation that maintains quality across many pages rather than just one viral post is a sign of serious commitment and that is what I see here clearly across what I read.
Xanderadage · 09/25/2026 at 9:25 AM

A particular pleasure to read this with a fresh coffee and a look at jewelridgecollectivemart extended the pleasure across more pages content that pairs well with quiet morning rituals is something I have come to value highly and this site has the kind of energy that fits naturally into a calm reading routine.

GregGox · 09/25/2026 at 11:12 AM

Well done the writing is professional without being stiff and the topic is treated with care and a look at maplemeadow reflected that approach the kind of site I would point a colleague to if they asked for a reliable starting point on this topic in the future without any hesitation at all.
Nicociz · 09/25/2026 at 12:44 PM

Worth bookmarking and sharing with anyone interested in the topic that is my honest take and a stop at apricotstoneemporium reinforces that the kind of generous resource that makes the open web feel worth defending against the constant pressure to retreat into walled gardens and curated feeds today everywhere I look across all my devices.
Kadenem · 09/25/2026 at 12:59 PM

Came in expecting another generic take and got something with actual character instead and a look at dawnvendor carried that personality forward finding a distinct voice on a saturated topic is impressive and worth pointing out when it happens because most sites end up sounding identical to their nearest competitors quickly.
Antonioicono · 09/25/2026 at 2:03 PM

Saving this link for the next time someone asks me about this topic and a look at riverharborgoodsstore expanded what I will be sharing with them this is the kind of resource that makes a real difference when you are trying to point a friend to something useful and reliable rather than generic marketing pages.
LucasFebra · 09/25/2026 at 2:29 PM

Worth pointing out that the writer made the topic feel more interesting than I had been expecting and a look at bigchequeboutique continued that elevation effect content that improves the apparent quality of its subject through skilled treatment is doing something real and this site has clearly developed that kind of editorial alchemy throughout.
Calvinker · 09/25/2026 at 5:18 PM

Worth saying that the post fit naturally into a rhythm of careful reading and a stop at mintorchardoutpost extended the same rhythm content that pairs well with how I actually read rather than demanding a different mode is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has clearly thought about that consistently.
Hassanvar · 09/25/2026 at 5:32 PM

A thoughtful read in a week that has been mostly noisy and a look at echobrookmarketplace carried that thoughtful quality across more pages finding pockets of considered writing in a week of distractions is one of the small wins of careful curation and this site is providing those pockets at a sustainable rate.
BillyJer · 09/25/2026 at 6:53 PM

This actually answered the question I had been searching for and after I checked quickridgeoutletmarket I had a few more pieces I had not realised I needed that is the sign of a site that knows what its readers want before they even know how to ask it which is impressive.
Lionelsuist · 09/25/2026 at 7:12 PM

Now appreciating that the post did not try to imitate any other style I might recognise and a stop at mintstoneexchange continued that distinct voice content with its own register rather than borrowed from elsewhere is content with real authorial presence and this site has clearly developed that presence through what feels like patient editorial work.
HoldenEnvef · 09/25/2026 at 7:16 PM

Adding this site to my regular reading list the post earned that on its own and a quick stop at flintmeadowcollective sealed the decision the kind of place worth checking back with from time to time because it consistently produces material that holds up against a critical reading too which I really value.
Donnyzef · 09/25/2026 at 7:56 PM

Now wondering how the writers calibrated the level of detail so well and a stop at honeytrailartisanhouse continued the same calibration the right level of detail is one of the harder editorial calls in any piece and this site has clearly developed an instinct for it through what I assume is years of careful practice publicly.
Tuckerden · 09/25/2026 at 8:40 PM

Worth flagging this site to a few specific friends who would appreciate the editorial sensibility and a look at driftorchardmarket added more pages I will mention to them recommending sites to specific people requires understanding both the site and the person and this site is making those personalised recommendations easy and natural for me.
Kaitex · 09/25/2026 at 8:41 PM

Generally my comment to other readers about new sites is to wait and see but for this one I would jump to recommend now and a look at coralmeadowoutlet reinforced that early recommendation the speed at which a site earns my recommendation is itself a quality signal and this one has earned mine quickly clearly.
Jeffreysam · 09/25/2026 at 8:47 PM

Liked how the writer used real examples instead of theoretical ones to make the points stick and a stop at brightharborvault added even more concrete examples this is the kind of practical approach that respects readers who actually want to apply what they learn rather than just nodding along passively without doing anything useful.
EmeryIdEnt · 09/25/2026 at 11:26 PM

Now noticing that the post avoided the temptation to be funny in places where humour would have undermined the substance and a stop at dunebrookartisanmart maintained the same restraint knowing when to be serious is a rare editorial virtue and this site has clearly developed it through what I assume is careful editorial practice over years.
Isaiahidolo · 09/25/2026 at 11:36 PM

Reading this prompted a brief but useful conversation with a colleague who happened to walk by and a stop at cloudcoveoutpost extended that conversational seed content that becomes a starting point for in person discussion rather than ending in solitary reading is content with social generative energy and this site has plenty of it apparently.
Cassidykeeli · 09/25/2026 at 11:37 PM

Now thinking the topic is more interesting than I had given it credit for and a stop at oliveorchardvault continued that elevated interest content that revives my curiosity about subjects I had set aside is doing genuine work in the structure of my interests and this site is providing that revivifying effect today actually.
OctavioGooky · 09/26/2026 at 12:50 AM

A piece that did not lean on the writer credentials or institutional backing and a look at kettlestonegalleria maintained the same focus on substance content that earns trust through quality rather than through name dropping is the kind I find most persuasive and this site is clearly playing on the substance side of that distinction.
MarlonWhase · 09/26/2026 at 1:44 AM

Thanks for treating the topic with the seriousness it deserves without becoming pompous about it and a stop at iciclebrookartisanshop continued that balanced treatment the gap between earnest and self serious is huge and writers who can stay on the right side of it earn my respect when I find them online today.
Jamalemuff · 09/26/2026 at 1:51 AM

Thanks for keeping things clear and to the point that is honestly hard to find online these days and after reading through orchardstonegalleria the message stayed consistent which makes me trust the information being shared more than I usually do on similar pages that cover this same kind of topic.
ThomasDiolo · 09/26/2026 at 2:38 AM

Thanks for the clean writing no broken sentences and no awkward translations like some other sites have and a quick stop at coastharborgoodsstore kept that polish going nicely it really does make a difference when a reader can move through a page without tripping on every line or going back to reread.
ChadSom · 09/26/2026 at 6:11 AM

Bookmark moved to my permanent reference folder rather than the casual maybe later folder and a look at rivervendor earned the same upgrade the distinction between casual interest and lasting reference is something I track carefully and very few sites cross that threshold but this one did so without much effort apparently.

PeterPus · 09/26/2026 at 9:45 AM

Now planning a longer reading session for the archives and a stop at echobrookoutpost confirmed the archives are worth that longer commitment sites with archives I want to read deliberately rather than just sample are rare and this one has clearly earned that level of interest based on the consistency of what I have already read.
PrestonBix · 09/26/2026 at 10:33 AM

Reading this prompted me to clean up some old notes related to the topic and a stop at chestnutstoneemporium extended that organising urge content that triggers personal organisation rather than just consuming attention is content with motivating energy and this site has the kind of clarity that prompts active follow up rather than passive consumption.
Josephhuh · 09/26/2026 at 12:01 PM

A piece that earned its conclusions through the body rather than asserting them at the end and a look at cottonmeadowvault maintained the same earned quality conclusions that follow from what came before are more persuasive than declarations and this site has clearly internalised that principle in how it constructs arguments throughout pieces.
SimonPaf · 09/26/2026 at 12:47 PM

Really liked the calm tone running through the post no shouting and no urgency forced into the writing and a look at elmmeadowvendorworks kept that quiet confidence going the kind of voice that makes the reader feel respected rather than yelled at which is depressingly common across most modern blog content these days.
RustyFurse · 09/26/2026 at 12:51 PM

Appreciated how the writer anticipated the questions a reader might have along the way and a stop at nightcoveartisanmarket 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.
Terrywaync · 09/26/2026 at 1:22 PM

Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint and a look at dunecoveoutlet extended that mood reversal the short term mood improvement that comes from finding good content is real and this site has produced that improvement for me at a useful moment.
JesusTax · 09/26/2026 at 1:46 PM

A small thank you note from me to the team behind this work the post earned it and a stop at jasperstonecourtyard suggested more thanks would be in order over time recognising the people who do good writing online is something I try to remember to do because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity unfortunately.
KalenDeway · 09/26/2026 at 1:49 PM

Top tier post the kind that makes you want to share the link with friends working in the same area and a stop at caramelcovevault only made me more confident in doing that this site is one of the better resources I have seen on the topic recently across both new and older posts.
Nealwhoks · 09/26/2026 at 3:09 PM

A piece that was confident enough to leave some questions open rather than forcing closure and a look at nightorchardmarketplace continued that intellectual honesty content that admits the limits of its scope is more trustworthy than content that pretends to total understanding and this site has the right calibration on certainty consistently.
Albertcring · 09/26/2026 at 4:13 PM

Liked everything about the experience from the opening through to the closing notes and a stop at amberbrookstonebazaar extended that into more pages finding a site where the editorial vision shows through every choice rather than feeling random is an increasingly rare experience and one I am glad to have today during this particular reading session.
Egankax · 09/26/2026 at 4:27 PM

Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing and a look at pineharborvault confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.
ClintonLurgy · 09/26/2026 at 4:30 PM

Really appreciate that the writer did not assume I would read every other related post first and a look at coastharborcollective kept that self contained feel going where each piece can stand alone accessibility for new readers is a sign of generous editorial thinking and this site has clearly invested in that approach.
