Its not going so well, because I am never home to change the litter after he has pooped and apparently thats a big key to success.
We haven't got any further with toilet training because Diz will go outside in the warm dry weather. As the system is litter based to start with, we just have a clean litter tray in the bathroom. I'd be happy to keep it this way - litter tray in house for occasional use, but HM objects to that. Or at least did the last time we discussed it.

I have see far greater feats of agility on a daily basis from Diz. Of course when he gets old, I'll change back to a litter tray if needed. Many people go back to litter trays when they have older cats who no longer want to go out.
