Default Toilet Training update

Well, so far, the toilet training of Imp and Mischief is going well.
There still have been a few accidents, but nothing serious. The
aluminum pan is now in the toilet, and both of them have used it, but
reluctantly.

Mischief refused to used it at first. But then I shut her and myself
in the bathroom and sat down with her to explain things to her. Then
I scratched at the litter and she sniffed at it. She gave me this
look, "Do I HAVE to?"

I figured it might take awhile, but after a minute or so, she started
scratching at the litter and finally used it. She figured out that
the only way she was going to get out of the bathroom was to use the
pan.

Unfortunately, if I try to do the same thing to Imp, he'll just freak
out.

I can tell someone used the pan this morning, but so far neither of
them have gone. There was another accident on a towel, but so far
nothing else has been found.

Yes, this is going to be extremely slow, but progress has been made.
Once I get them used to the pan, I'll decrease the amount of litter
and then make a hole in the pan. Until then, I'll have to limit the
amount of clothes I leave lying around unless I want them "anointed"
with cat gifts.

That's all for now,
