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.

Better than the average post on this subject by some distance and a look at olivecovecommerceatelier reinforced that you can tell within the first paragraph that the writer here actually cares about the topic rather than just covering it for the sake of having something to publish that week or that day.
Leonardshono · 09/28/2026 at 6:56 PM

Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right and a quick visit to nightstonecollective 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.
Kaicig · 09/28/2026 at 7:12 PM

Picked this site to mention to a colleague who would benefit and a look at opalriveremporium added more material I will pass along recommending sites to colleagues is a higher bar than recommending to friends because the professional context demands more careful curation and this site cleared the professional bar without me having to think.
Gingerwes · 09/28/2026 at 7:48 PM

Reading this prompted a small note in my reference file and a stop at driftridgeartisanhouse prompted another the rare site that contributes useful nuggets to my own working knowledge rather than just consuming my attention is worth the time investment many times over compared to the usual pile of forgettable scroll content.
ByronTaf · 09/28/2026 at 7:54 PM

Good post the kind that respects the reader by getting to the point quickly without skipping the details that matter and a short look at seameadowvendorworks confirmed that approach is consistent across the site which is rare to find online these days definitely a place I will return to soon.
Jeremiahclale · 09/28/2026 at 8:30 PM

Appreciated how the writer anticipated the questions a reader might have along the way and a stop at quickharboroutpost 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.
PatrickSaw · 09/28/2026 at 10:07 PM

If I am being honest this is the kind of site I quietly hope my own work will someday resemble and a stop at autumncoveartisanhouse extended that aspirational feeling finding work that models what I want to produce is part of why I read carefully and this site has been performing that modelling function for me lately consistently.
Stevemus · 09/28/2026 at 10:46 PM

Reading this felt productive in a way most internet reading does not and a look at kitchenkismet 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.
Carltunse · 09/28/2026 at 11:01 PM

Now feeling confident that this site will continue producing work I will want to read and a look at pebbletrailartisanmart extended that confidence into the future projecting forward from current quality to expected future quality is something I do for sites I genuinely follow and this one has earned that forward looking trust clearly today.
Genemaync · 09/28/2026 at 11:11 PM

Closed my email tab so I could read this without interruption and a stop at jasperharborcraftcollective earned the same protected attention when content is good enough to defend against the usual digital distractions you know it deserves better than the half attention most online reading gets in a typical busy day.
Zacharycem · 09/28/2026 at 11:19 PM

Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space and a stop at suncovegallery kept that going the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.
Vernonsap · 09/29/2026 at 12:44 AM

Bookmark added with a small note about why and a look at brightharbortrading prompted another bookmark with another note the bookmarks I annotate are the ones I expect to return to deliberately rather than stumble into and this site is generating annotated bookmarks at a higher rate than my usual content sources by some margin.
Rufusham · 09/29/2026 at 12:48 AM

Glad the writer kept this short rather than padding it out the points stand on their own without needing extra context and a look at opalstonegalleria kept the same approach going brevity is a sign of confidence in the substance and the team here clearly trusts their content to land without filler.
DamionCouts · 09/29/2026 at 1:26 AM

Appreciate that you did not pad this with fluff to hit a word count the post says what it needs to say and stops and a look at snowridgegoodsstore did the same brevity here feels intentional not lazy which is a distinction many writers miss completely sometimes when they are working under deadlines.
PeterPomia · 09/29/2026 at 1:59 AM

Now adding this to a short list of sites I would defend in a conversation about the modern web and a look at ivoryridgeoutpost reinforced that defence list the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce good things are precious and this one has clearly joined that small list of exemplary sites.
Byronrix · 09/29/2026 at 2:03 AM

Started taking notes about halfway through because the points were stacking up and a look at skycoveartisanmart added enough material that my notes file grew further content that demands note taking from a passive reader is content with substance and the writers here are clearly producing that kind of work consistently across topics.
BillyJer · 09/29/2026 at 3:58 AM

Reading this on a phone at a coffee shop and finding it perfectly suited to that context and a stop at quickridgeoutletmarket continued the comfortable mobile experience content that works across reading conditions without compromising on substance is increasingly important and this site has clearly thought about the whole reader experience here.
RomanKeymn · 09/29/2026 at 4:54 AM

Reading this slowly to give it the attention it deserved and a stop at lemonlarkartisanexchange earned the same slow read choosing to read slowly is a small act of respect for content quality and very few sites earn that respect from me but this one did so without any explicit ask which is the cleanest way.
SterlingBlots · 09/29/2026 at 6:16 AM

Skipped lunch to finish reading which says something and a stop at cottongroveemporium 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.
MauriceCrolf · 09/29/2026 at 6:44 AM

Reading this prompted me to clean up some old notes related to the topic and a stop at gildedcovegallery 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.
Hughendat · 09/29/2026 at 6:52 AM

Reading more of the archives is now on my plan for the weekend and a stop at silverharborcollective confirmed the archive worth the time the rare archive worth a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the rare archive of serious work and this site has clearly produced enough of that work to warrant the deeper exploration.
Nashhax · 09/29/2026 at 6:52 AM

Honestly impressed by how much useful content sits in such a small post and a stop at dawnbrookartisanbazaar confirmed the rest of the site packs a similar punch density without confusion is a hard balance to strike and this site has clearly cracked the code on it across many different topic areas covered.
EmilioMip · 09/29/2026 at 7:10 AM

Cuts through the usual marketing fluff that dominates this topic online and a stop at floraridgeemporium kept the same clean approach going this is the kind of writing that respects the readers time rather than wasting it on repetitive setups before finally getting to the point at hand which is what most sites do.
Brendandon · 09/29/2026 at 7:29 AM

If you asked me to point to a recent positive sign for the open web this site would be near the top and a stop at canyonharborvault reinforced that designation the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce quality independent content are precious and this one has clearly become one for me.
CordellLam · 09/29/2026 at 7:57 AM

Easily one of the better explanations I have read on the topic and a stop at ivorycoveartisanmart pushed it even higher in my mental ranking of useful resources the kind of site that beats the average not by trying harder but by simply caring more about what it puts out daily which always shows.
GordonMor · 09/29/2026 at 8:18 AM

Now organising my browser bookmarks to give this site easier access and a look at birchstoneoutpost earned the same organisational priority the small acts of digital housekeeping I do for sites I expect to use often are themselves a measure of trust and this site has triggered the trust based housekeeping behaviour from me clearly.
Antoniocutle · 09/29/2026 at 8:18 AM

Definitely a recommend from me anyone curious about the topic should check this out and a look at zenwillowtrading adds even more reason for that the depth and quality combine to make this site one I will be pointing people toward whenever similar conversations come up over the months ahead at work or socially.
EvanCor · 09/29/2026 at 8:20 AM

Walked away in a slightly better mood than when I started reading that says something about the writing and a stop at cloudcovevault kept that going content that leaves you feeling more capable rather than overwhelmed is the kind I keep coming back to again and again over the years and across many topics.
ClydeSoype · 09/29/2026 at 8:43 AM

Now considering whether the post would translate well into a different form and a look at pearlharborgoodsstore suggested similar versatility content that could move into other media without losing its substance is content that has been built around ideas rather than around format and this site reads as idea first throughout posts.
Franklindumma · 09/29/2026 at 8:51 AM

Started reading without much expectation and ended on a high note and a look at solarorchardtrading 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.

Billyideox · 09/29/2026 at 9:05 AM

Honest assessment after reading this twice is that it holds up under careful attention and a look at citystroll extended that durability across more pages content that survives a second read without revealing weak spots is rarer than the average reader probably realises and this site clearly cleared that bar.
ReggieLoult · 09/29/2026 at 9:29 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 iciclemeadowtraders 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.
Tobiasgeria · 09/29/2026 at 10:04 AM

Easily one of the better explanations I have read on the topic and a stop at jewelbrookvault pushed it even higher in my mental ranking of useful resources the kind of site that beats the average not by trying harder but by simply caring more about what it puts out daily which always shows.
HugoSnisy · 09/29/2026 at 11:27 AM

The whole experience of reading this was pleasant from start to finish no pop ups and no annoying interruptions and a look at plumcovevault continued that clean experience technical choices about page design matter for the reader and this site clearly cares about the small details that add up to comfort across multiple visits.
Jamalbam · 09/29/2026 at 11:31 AM

Speaking from the perspective of having read widely on the topic this site offers something distinct and a look at mintcovecommerceatelier reinforced that distinctness the rare site that contributes something genuinely original to a saturated topic is the rare site worth following carefully and this one has demonstrated that original contribution capability today.
BryanLourf · 09/29/2026 at 11:48 AM

Started this morning and finished at lunch with a small sense of having spent the time well and a look at meadowharboroutpost extended that satisfaction into the afternoon content that fits naturally into the rhythm of a working day rather than demanding a dedicated reading block is increasingly the kind I prefer.
OwenGeona · 09/29/2026 at 12:00 PM

A handful of memorable phrases from this one I will probably use later and a look at orchardharborvault added a couple more content that contributes language to my own communication rather than just facts is content with a different kind of utility and this site is providing that linguistic utility consistently across what I read.
Emerytep · 09/29/2026 at 12:06 PM

Genuinely good work the kind that holds up over multiple readings without losing its appeal and a stop at raintrailartisanmarket 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.
OliverOmili · 09/29/2026 at 12:24 PM

Now realising the post has been quietly doing important work in my mind for the past hour and a stop at tealcoveartisanmart extended that quiet processing content that continues to do work after I close the tab is content with afterlife in the mind and this site is producing those long lived effects at a meaningful rate.
Germanexale · 09/29/2026 at 1:49 PM

Decided to write a short note to the author if there is contact info anywhere and a stop at crystalcovecraftcollective extended that intention the urge to thank the writer directly is a strong signal of content quality and this site has triggered that urge in me today which is a fairly rare event for my reading.
Sterlingemole · 09/29/2026 at 2:59 PM

Now adjusting my mental list of reliable sites for this topic and a stop at lanterncoveartisanmarket reinforced the adjustment the small ongoing curation work of maintaining trusted sources is one of the actual practical activities of careful reading and this site has earned a permanent place on my list for this particular subject.
BartholomewRab · 09/29/2026 at 3:16 PM

Good post the kind that respects the reader by getting to the point quickly without skipping the details that matter and a short look at rivercoveartisanhouse confirmed that approach is consistent across the site which is rare to find online these days definitely a place I will return to soon.
CarmineDum · 09/29/2026 at 3:54 PM

Took something from this I did not expect to find and a stop at lavenderharborcollectivemart added another unexpected useful piece content that exceeds expectations rather than just meeting them is the kind that builds enthusiasm and earns repeat visits without any explicit ask from the writer or platform behind the work being read.
Darrellwreta · 09/29/2026 at 4:50 PM

Reading this slowly because the writing rewards a slower pace and a stop at goldencoveoutpost did the same the pace at which I read content is something I now use as a quality signal and writing that earns a slower pace earns my attention as a reader looking for substance these days.
Elijahlag · 09/29/2026 at 5:49 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 windmeadowcollectivemart 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.
DouglasElind · 09/29/2026 at 6:12 PM

Felt no urge to argue with the conclusions even though I started the post slightly skeptical and a look at elmstoneemporium maintained that pattern writing that earns agreement through clarity of argument rather than rhetorical pressure is the kind I find most persuasive and the kind I want to read more of these days.
JulianLom · 09/29/2026 at 6:19 PM

Felt the post had been written without looking over its shoulder and a look at coppercoveartisanexchange continued that confident posture content written for its own sake rather than against imagined critics has a different quality and this site reads as written from a place of confidence rather than defensive justification of every claim.
RustyFurse · 09/29/2026 at 8:24 PM

Worth recognising that this site does not chase the daily news cycle and a stop at nightcoveartisanmarket confirmed the longer publication arc sites that resist the pressure to comment on every passing event are sites with genuine editorial discipline and this one has clearly chosen depth over volume which I respect deeply.
Christianhop · 09/29/2026 at 10:46 PM

Nice and clean that is the best way to describe the writing here no clutter and no wasted words and a quick visit to iciclemeadowtrading kept that going I appreciate when a site treats its readers like people who can think for themselves without needing constant hand holding through every paragraph.
