Thunks is being potty trained

8,566 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.

A piece that suggested careful editing without showing the marks of the editing and a look at elmharborgalleria continued that invisible polish the best editing disappears into the prose and this site reads as having been edited with skill that does not announce itself which is the highest compliment I can offer any blog content.
TodZen · 09/27/2026 at 9:32 PM

Liked that there was nothing performative about the writing and a stop at apricotharbortrading continued that genuine quality performative writing tries to be witnessed rather than read and the difference between performance and substance is huge for the careful reader and this site has clearly chosen substance every time clearly.
Franklinjem · 09/27/2026 at 9:40 PM

Felt the writer respected the topic without being precious about it and a look at ivorycrate continued that respectful but unfussy treatment finding the right register for serious topics is hard and this site has clearly figured out how to take the topic seriously while still being readable for casual visitors regularly.
CesarTup · 09/27/2026 at 9:51 PM

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 berrycovevault 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.
JettUnlob · 09/27/2026 at 10:42 PM

Genuine reaction is that I will probably think about this on and off for a few days and a look at seacovegallery added fuel to that the best content lingers in your head after you close the tab rather than evaporating immediately and this site clearly knows how to write that kind of memorable content.
Cesarslemy · 09/27/2026 at 10:57 PM

Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right and a quick visit to dawnridgeemporium confirmed the same standards run across the broader site recognising good work is something I try to do when I find it because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity.
Justinnah · 09/27/2026 at 11:03 PM

On reflection this is the kind of writing that improves my taste for what is possible in the format and a look at maverickmint 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.
DomenicNup · 09/27/2026 at 11:29 PM

Solid little post the kind that does not need to be flashy because the substance is doing the work and a look at acornstonegalleria kept that quiet confidence going across the site this is what writing looks like when the writer trusts the content to land on its own without theatrics or unnecessary attention seeking behaviour.
EarlCit · 09/27/2026 at 11:29 PM

Started reading without much expectation and ended on a high note and a look at ferncovecommercehub continued that arc content that builds rather than peaks early is a sign of a writer who knows how to structure a piece for sustained reader engagement rather than relying on a strong hook to do all the work.
Zachariahfal · 09/27/2026 at 11:36 PM

Coming back to this one definitely and a quick visit to flintridgecollectivemart only made me more sure of that the kind of writing that makes you want to set aside time later rather than rushing through it now while distracted by everything else competing for attention on the screen today across so many tabs.
Alfredoenriz · 09/28/2026 at 12:03 AM

Just sat with this for a bit longer than I usually would because the points are worth thinking about and after juniperharbortraders I had even more to chew on the kind of post that nudges your thinking forward without forcing the issue is something I have always appreciated in good writing online.
JamesLek · 09/28/2026 at 12:06 AM

Now noticing that the post avoided the temptation to be funny in places where humour would have undermined the substance and a stop at trailharborvault 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.
BertAmout · 09/28/2026 at 12:06 AM

Picked up several practical tips that I plan to try out this week and a look at plumridgegoodsstore added a few more I will be testing alongside content with practical hooks that connect to my actual life is the kind that earns my repeat attention rather than the merely interesting that I forget within a day.
Yorkhag · 09/28/2026 at 1:00 AM

Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword and a look at auroraharbortradehouse 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.
MarcusGargo · 09/28/2026 at 1:06 AM

Reading this felt productive in a way most internet reading does not and a look at rainmeadowcollectivemart continued that productive feeling sometimes the open web feels like a waste of time but sites like this remind me why I still bother to look around rather than retreating to old reliable sources for everything I need.
Jacetycle · 09/28/2026 at 2:01 AM

Worth your time that is the simplest endorsement I can give and a stop at mapletrailartisanbazaar extends that endorsement across the rest of the site this is one of those increasingly rare places that delivers on what it promises rather than over selling the content and under delivering on substance every time which I find frustrating elsewhere.
SaulUnult · 09/28/2026 at 2:18 AM

The lack of unnecessary jargon made the post accessible without sacrificing accuracy and a look at oliveorchardcollective continued in the same accessible style technical topics often hide behind specialised vocabulary but here the writer trusts the reader to keep up with plain language and that trust pays off nicely throughout the entire post.
Wilfredgor · 09/28/2026 at 2:20 AM

Picked up two new ideas that I expect will come up in conversations this week and a look at meadowharborvault added another content that arms me with talking points rather than just filling time is the kind that provides ongoing value beyond the moment of reading and this site is generating that kind of ongoing value.
JettNeify · 09/28/2026 at 3:01 AM

Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note and a stop at junipercovegalleria 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.
KeithBom · 09/28/2026 at 4:51 AM

Worth observing that the post landed without needing a flashy headline to hook attention and a stop at sunmeadowvendorworks did the same content that earns engagement through substance rather than packaging is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has clearly chosen substance as the primary lever for reader engagement throughout.
BlakeAdams · 09/28/2026 at 5:05 AM

Worth pointing out that the writer made the topic feel more interesting than I had been expecting and a look at dawnharbormarketplace 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.
Saulvem · 09/28/2026 at 5:27 AM

Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like and a look at harborstonevendorcollective extended that reminder the experience of careful reading versus skimming is different in ways I had partially forgotten and this site has clearly refreshed my memory of what attention feels like when content rewards it consistently.
Miltoninsug · 09/28/2026 at 5:46 AM

Bookmark folder reorganised slightly to make this site easier to find and a look at tealstoneoutpost earned the same accessibility upgrade the small organisational moves I make for sites I expect to return to often are themselves a signal of how much I trust them and this site triggered those moves naturally.
Jorgetaway · 09/28/2026 at 5:56 AM

Comfortable reading experience throughout no jarring tone shifts and no awkward formatting and a look at autumnridgegoodsstore kept that smooth feel going the kind of editorial polish that goes unnoticed when present but glaring when absent is something this site has clearly invested in across the broader content as well which deserves recognition.
Aleccog · 09/28/2026 at 6:10 AM

Worth marking this site as one to come back to deliberately rather than by accident and a stop at dumbbelldrift reinforced that intention the difference between sites I find again by chance and sites I return to on purpose is meaningful and this one has clearly moved into the deliberate return category for me.
Carmeloabrag · 09/28/2026 at 6:33 AM

Now feeling mildly impressed in a way I do not quite remember feeling about a blog in a while and a stop at plumstoneoutlet extended that mild impression content that produces specific positive emotional responses rather than just neutral information transfer is content with extra dimensions and this site has those extra dimensions clearly.
Ziondrory · 09/28/2026 at 6:59 AM

Started reading without much expectation and ended on a high note and a look at forestcovegalleria continued that arc content that builds rather than peaks early is a sign of a writer who knows how to structure a piece for sustained reader engagement rather than relying on a strong hook to do all the work.
OscarLek · 09/28/2026 at 7:33 AM

My usual response to new bookmarks is to forget them but this one I have already returned to twice and a look at harborgroveboutiquehub 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.
MitchellSaise · 09/28/2026 at 8:56 AM

Will be coming back to this for sure too much good content to absorb in one sitting and a stop at linenstonegalleria only added more pages I want to dig through this site is going onto my regular rotation list because it consistently delivers something worth the visit lately rather than empty filler.
Omarphelf · 09/28/2026 at 9:35 AM

Appreciate the thoughtful approach the writer clearly took time to make this readable for someone who is not already an expert and a look at indigovendor kept that going nicely easy on the eyes and easy on the brain which is always a winning combination when reading on a busy day.
TracePoode · 09/28/2026 at 10:57 AM

Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention and a stop at pinemeadowtradehouse extended that supportive attention across more pages the conscious choice to spend time on sites that produce careful work rather than convenient consumption is itself a small form of patronage and this site is receiving that conscious patronage from me.
JeanMus · 09/28/2026 at 11:35 AM

Skipped the social share buttons but might come back to actually use one later and a stop at honeycovecommerceatelier extended that share urge content that triggers genuine sharing impulses rather than performative ones is content that has actually moved me and not many posts in a typical week do that for me actually.
BartholomewSeeni · 09/28/2026 at 12:15 PM

Started smiling at one paragraph because the writing was just nice and a look at maplecresttrading produced a couple more such moments prose that produces small spontaneous reactions in the reader is doing more than just transferring information and the writers here are clearly hitting that level fairly consistently throughout pieces.
Reedelupe · 09/28/2026 at 12:59 PM

Reading this confirmed that my time researching the topic in other places had not been wasted and a stop at juniperharbortrading extended the confirmation when independent sources agree that is a useful signal and this site is one of the more reliable sources I have found for cross checking what I read elsewhere on similar subjects.
JakeLaups · 09/28/2026 at 1:33 PM

Adding this site to my regular reading list the post earned that on its own and a quick stop at suntrailartisanhouse 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.
Lestergappy · 09/28/2026 at 1:42 PM

Liked everything about the experience from the opening through to the closing notes and a stop at embergladecraftmarket 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.
LuisPhera · 09/28/2026 at 1:45 PM

Glad to have another data point on a question I am still thinking through and a look at sagestoneoutpost added two more content that acknowledges its place in a wider conversation rather than pretending to settle the question alone is intellectually honest in a way that I wish was more common across the open web.
Rossstype · 09/28/2026 at 2:44 PM

Appreciate the thoughtful approach the writer clearly took time to make this readable for someone who is not already an expert and a look at lavenderharborvault kept that going nicely easy on the eyes and easy on the brain which is always a winning combination when reading on a busy day.
Arthurblark · 09/28/2026 at 2:52 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 solarorchardoutpost 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.
Ashtonnof · 09/28/2026 at 3:33 PM

A memorable post for me on a topic I had thought I was tired of and a look at baystonegalleria suggested the same site can refresh other tired topics sites that can revive my interest in subjects I had written off as exhausted are doing rare work and this one is clearly doing that for me today.
TristanEdgen · 09/28/2026 at 3:41 PM

Once I trust a site this much I tend to read everything they publish and that is the trajectory I am on with this one and a stop at coastharborvault confirmed the trajectory the rare progression from interested reader to comprehensive reader is something only certain sites earn and this one is earning that progression rapidly.

RodolfoCeare · 09/28/2026 at 4:04 PM

Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again and a stop at moneymagnolia similarly held attention exclusively content that crowds out other reading from working memory is content with real density and this site has demonstrated that density across multiple pages I have visited so far this morning.
JosephMOT · 09/28/2026 at 4:53 PM

Decided to read this site for a while before forming a verdict and the verdict after several pages is positive and a stop at oliveharbortraders 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.
AmariFroli · 09/28/2026 at 5:07 PM

Quietly the writers approach to the topic differs from the dominant takes I have been encountering and a stop at stoneharborvault extended that distinctive approach content that maintains a different perspective without explicitly arguing against the dominant ones is content with confident editorial identity and this site has that confidence throughout pieces.
AshtonGom · 09/28/2026 at 5:10 PM

Definitely returning here that is decided and a look at crowncoveartisanexchange only made the case stronger this is one of those rare websites that rewards regular visits rather than feeling stale after the first read which is something I cannot say about most of the places I bookmark today across all my topics.
NashKeync · 09/28/2026 at 6:10 PM

Worth recognising the specific care that went into how this post ended and a look at gladecoveartisanhouse 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.
DennisBiolo · 09/28/2026 at 6:33 PM

A clean read with no irritations and a look at oakstoneemporium continued that frictionless quality the absence of small irritations is something I notice only when present elsewhere and this site is one of the rare places where everything just works and lets me focus on the substance rather than fighting the format.
Winstonapome · 09/28/2026 at 6:38 PM

Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility and a stop at juniperstoneoutpost maintained the same balance finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.
EmmettSix · 09/28/2026 at 6:46 PM

Probably the best thing I have read on this topic in the past month and a stop at jewelcoveartisanmarket extended that ranking the casual ranking of recent reading is informal but real and this site has been winning those rankings for me on this topic specifically over the last several weeks of regular reading sessions.
