Thunks is being potty trained

8,564 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.

Skipped breakfast still reading this and finished hungry but satisfied and a stop at dawnridgeoutpost kept me past breakfast time content that displaces basic biological needs is content with serious attentional pull and the writers here are clearly capable of producing that level of engagement which is genuinely impressive these days.
Howardsob · 09/29/2026 at 11:37 PM

A clean read with no irritations and a look at woodcovegallery 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.
WinstonGlima · 09/30/2026 at 12:17 AM

Speaking carefully because I do not want to overstate things this site is genuinely above average across multiple measurements and a stop at clovercrestvault continued the above average performance the calibration of judgement against potential overstatement is something I take seriously and this site clears the higher bar even after that calibration applies.
Garysow · 09/30/2026 at 12:58 AM

Anyone curious about this topic would do well to start here the foundation laid is solid and a stop at birchharborvault would round out their understanding nicely this is the kind of resource I would point a friend toward without hesitation if they asked me where to begin learning about anything in this area.
MylesCag · 09/30/2026 at 1:02 AM

Solid quality the kind of work that holds up to a careful read rather than a quick skim and a quick look at coralmeadowoutlet kept that standard going strong content that rewards attention rather than punishing it is something I appreciate more and more these days online across nearly every topic I follow.
Allensnino · 09/30/2026 at 1:02 AM

A piece that left me thinking I had been undercaring about the topic and a look at ferncoveoutpost 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.
Daquanfeany · 09/30/2026 at 2:03 AM

Thanks for the clean writing no broken sentences and no awkward translations like some other sites have and a quick stop at emailelm 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.
Jeffersonproni · 09/30/2026 at 2:10 AM

Now noticing that the post did not mention the writer at all focus stayed on the topic and a look at orchardcrestmarketplace continued that author absent quality content that disappears the writer to focus on the substance is a particular kind of generosity and this site has clearly chosen the substance over the personality consistently.
LandynKelty · 09/30/2026 at 2:45 AM

Recommended to anyone working in or curious about this area the depth and clarity combine well and a look at timberforestvendoroutpost keeps that going across more pages the kind of site that earns regular visits rather than chasing trends has my respect because it suggests genuine commitment to the topic itself rather than to chasing trends.
MorrisGob · 09/30/2026 at 3:08 AM

Saving the link for sure this one is a keeper and a look at valecovevault 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.
KareemLaw · 09/30/2026 at 4:04 AM

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 acornharborcollective 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.
TimFak · 09/30/2026 at 4:20 AM

Thanks for the clean writing no broken sentences and no awkward translations like some other sites have and a quick stop at walnutcovecommerceatelier 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.
Terryziz · 09/30/2026 at 4:49 AM

Reading this between meetings turned out to be the most useful thing I did all afternoon and a stop at oakcovevault 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.
ChandlerBouff · 09/30/2026 at 4:59 AM

Loved the writing voice here friendly without being fake and confident without being arrogant and a stop at jaspermeadowemporium carried the same tone forward the kind of personality that makes a reader feel welcome rather than lectured at which is a balance plenty of writers struggle to find no matter how long they have been at it.
Nicotap · 09/30/2026 at 5:55 AM

Now adding this site to a small mental group of recommendations I keep ready for specific kinds of inquiries and a stop at meadowdockartisanbazaar extended the recommendation readiness content that I can confidently point friends and colleagues toward in specific contexts is content with real social utility and this site has that utility clearly.
Shawnvom · 09/30/2026 at 7:11 AM

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 pebblegrovevendorstudio confirmed that approach is consistent across the site which is rare to find online these days definitely a place I will return to soon.
Clydediake · 09/30/2026 at 7:45 AM

My friends would appreciate a few of these posts and I will be sending links accordingly and a look at timbercovegoodsstore added more pages to my share queue content that earns shares to specific people in specific contexts is content with social utility and this site is generating those targeted shares from me consistently lately.
JohnSam · 09/30/2026 at 7:45 AM

Decided after reading this that I would check this site weekly going forward and a stop at microbrandmagnet reinforced that commitment deciding to add a site to a regular rotation requires meeting a quality bar that very few places clear and this one cleared it cleanly without any noticeable effort or marketing push behind it.
PercyAmexy · 09/30/2026 at 7:54 AM

Approaching this with the usual skepticism I bring to new sites and being slowly persuaded and a stop at nightfallmeadowtraders continued that gradual persuasion the careful path from skeptical reader to genuine fan is the only one I trust and this site has walked me along that path through patient consistent quality across pieces.
Clarencealcog · 09/30/2026 at 8:32 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 granitecoveartisanbazaar did the same brevity here feels intentional not lazy which is a distinction many writers miss completely sometimes when they are working under deadlines.
MattPlurl · 09/30/2026 at 8:51 AM

Solid value packed into a relatively short post that takes skill and a look at hazelbrookartisanmarket continues the dense useful content across more pages this site clearly understands that respecting reader time is itself a form of generosity which is something most blog operations seem to have forgotten lately across the wider open web.
IbrahimSaild · 09/30/2026 at 10:53 AM

Now feeling the small relief of finding writing that does not condescend and a stop at windharbortrading extended that respect for readers content that treats its audience as capable adults rather than as people to be managed produces a different reading experience and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach across all pieces.
TheodoreHoign · 09/30/2026 at 11:22 AM

Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again and a stop at meadowstoneemporium 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.
GeraldUnpax · 09/30/2026 at 1:55 PM

Strong recommendation from me anyone curious about the topic should make time for this and a look at iciclecovevendorhall only sharpens that recommendation further the kind of resource that holds up against careful scrutiny rather than crumbling at the first critical question is rare and worth pointing other people toward when the topic comes up.
GlenLak · 09/30/2026 at 4:20 PM

Reading this triggered a small change in how I think about the topic going forward and a stop at uplandbrookcommercehub 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.
Jaynop · 09/30/2026 at 4:31 PM

Reading this confirmed that the topic deserves more careful attention than it usually gets and a stop at embermeadowboutique 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.
DamonDib · 09/30/2026 at 5:04 PM

Decided not to comment because the post said what needed saying and a stop at violetharborvault continued that complete feel content that does not invite obvious additions or corrections from readers is content that has been carefully considered and this site appears to consistently produce pieces that satisfy rather than provoke unnecessary follow ups.
Juangrove · 09/30/2026 at 5:36 PM

Even across multiple posts the writers voice has remained consistent in a way I appreciate and a stop at jewelstoneemporium continued that voice sites that maintain editorial consistency across many pieces have something most sites lack and this one has clearly worked out how to keep its voice steady across what reads as a growing archive.
AidanSar · 09/30/2026 at 5:45 PM

Appreciated that the writer trusted the reader to follow along without constant restating of earlier points and a look at calmstonecollective continued that respect for the reader treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people to be hand held through every paragraph is something I notice and value highly across the open internet today.
AlonzoPam · 09/30/2026 at 5:45 PM

Felt the post handled a sensitive angle of the topic with appropriate care and a look at jasperstonecourtyard extended that careful handling across related material sites that can navigate delicate territory without causing damage are rare and require a level of judgement that comes from experience rather than from following any clear playbook.
AveryBoite · 09/30/2026 at 6:46 PM

Reading this confirmed that the topic deserves more careful attention than it usually gets and a stop at moonbrookdistrict 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.
Keithneell · 09/30/2026 at 7:04 PM

Reading this confirmed that the topic deserves more careful attention than it usually gets and a stop at taxtrellis 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.
PrestonFloms · 09/30/2026 at 8:02 PM

Quietly enthusiastic about this site after the past few hours of reading and a stop at gildedwillowmarketplace extended that enthusiasm the calibration of enthusiasm to evidence is something I try to maintain and this site has earned a calibrated quiet enthusiasm rather than the loud excitement that usually fades within a day or two of finding something.
Kyriemaf · 09/30/2026 at 8:10 PM

Beyond the immediate post itself the editorial sensibility behind the site is what struck me and a stop at seacovevault 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.
DevanteAbame · 09/30/2026 at 8:29 PM

My usual response to new bookmarks is to forget them but this one I have already returned to twice and a look at mirthlinnet 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.
MarioCat · 09/30/2026 at 8:44 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 timberstoneoutpost 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.
Vincentimimb · 09/30/2026 at 9:01 PM

Really appreciate the lack of pop ups modals cookie banners stacking on top of each other and a quick visit to trailharbormerchantlane confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.
Brianrax · 09/30/2026 at 9:10 PM

A welcome contrast to the loud takes that have dominated my feed lately and a look at meadowbrooktradingfoundry extended that calm voice content that arrives without yelling has become unusual in the modern attention economy and this site is one of the few places I have found that consistently delivers without raising its voice.
BertVialk · 09/30/2026 at 9:41 PM

Will be sharing this with a couple of people who care about the topic and a stop at rainharborvault 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.
Juliandar · 09/30/2026 at 11:26 PM

Now thinking I want more sites built on this kind of editorial foundation and a stop at granitecovevendorhall extended that wish into a broader hope sites built on substance and care rather than on metrics and growth are the kind of sites I want to see more of and this one is a small example worth supporting.
Rayjar · 09/30/2026 at 11:44 PM

Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully the post deserves more than a quick scan and a stop at clovercovevendorhall reinforced that this is the kind of site that rewards a slower read which is hard to find in this fast paced corner of the internet but really worthwhile.
MarcusGargo · 10/01/2026 at 12:16 AM

Decided this was the kind of site I would defend in a discussion about good blog content and a stop at rainmeadowcollectivemart reinforced that very few sites earn active defence rather than passive consumption and this one has clearly crossed that threshold for me without needing any explicit pitch from the writers themselves either.
Burtonloxia · 10/01/2026 at 12:19 AM

Worth saying this site reads better than most paid newsletters I have tried and a stop at ideasunlockgrowth confirmed that comparison the bar for free content is often lower than for paid but this site clears the paid bar consistently and that says something about the editorial approach behind the work being published here regularly.
GeraldNem · 10/01/2026 at 12:55 AM

Cuts through the usual marketing fluff that dominates this topic online and a stop at gildedgroveartisanmart 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.
Kimnem · 10/01/2026 at 1:42 AM

Thanks for sharing this with the open internet rather than locking it behind a paywall like so many sites do now and a stop at jewelstonecartemporium kept the same vibe going generous helpful and clearly written by someone who actually wants people to learn from it rather than just charge them.
BeauBoize · 10/01/2026 at 1:52 AM

Even just sampling a few posts the consistency is what stands out and a look at auroracoveartisanhouse confirmed the broader pattern sites where every piece I sample lives up to the standard set by the others are sites with serious quality control and this one has clearly invested in whatever editorial process produces that consistency reliably.
Jadonjeank · 10/01/2026 at 2:07 AM

Worth saying that the post fit naturally into a rhythm of careful reading and a stop at motelmorel 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.

KimMox · 10/01/2026 at 5:09 AM

Liked the balance between depth and brevity never too shallow and never too long and a stop at mapleharborgoodsplace kept the same balance going across the rest of the site this is one of the harder skills in writing and the team here clearly has it figured out very well indeed across every page.
